Once again she has babysitters.
She knew that Thumper and Felix were outside the office just waiting for her to finish up doing some filing for her dad.
"Yes, I was wondering if Meg Manning has been moved out of ICU. She has. What are the visiting hours." Meg's parents could keep them out of the ICU but in a normal room, hopefully, they wouldn't be able to keep Duncan away.
She writes down the room number and times that she can go see her.
She figures she'll go first, maybe she can talk to Lizzie about planning a time Duncan can visit if their parents try to keep him away.
"I need to hire a detective." a woman says coming into the office.
"Right office, wrong day but I can take your information and Mr. mars can get back to you."
The woman, Julie says that she needs her dad to investigate whether or not her boyfriend, Collin, is cheating.
------------------------------------------------------------------
As she is leaves, her dad comes in.
"Honey, I don't think that I have the time to take on a new case. Think you could do it. As long as it doesn't interfere with your schoolwork."
"No problem." she takes down the information pleased that he is trusting her enough to do this.
She calls Julie and asks her to meet her at Java Hut to find out more.
---------------------------------------------------------
At the Hut, Julie tells her about all the signs of cheating that she has noticed.
----------------------------------------------------------
Man, this guy is boring. I think she might be a little off about him cheating.
She takes photos of him running laps when she gets a call from Julie.
Julie tells her about the number that has been calling him at all hours.
--------------------------------------------------------
The next day at school she bumps into Wallace.
"So did my dad spend the night?" she asks.
"Yeah." he grinned at her.
"Pull the fake donuts run this morning." she asks opening her locker to grab her books.
"Want one." he says showing her the bag.
Jackie slicks up and the two of them start flirting, ignoring the fact that she is standing right there.
"Hey, mama. We going to see Meg after school?" Eli says coming up behind her, throwing his arm over her shoulder and pulling her into his side.
"Yeah, I'm hoping that I can get Lizzie alone to talk about trying to set up a plan so that Duncan can sneak in to see her."
He gives her a quick kiss before heading off to class.
---------------------------------------------------------
They go to the floor that Meg is at and find Duncan already there.
"Duncan..." she starts when the door to Meg's room opens.
"What are you doing here again? I told you that we don't want you here." Meg's dad starts yelling at Duncan.
"Dad..." Lizzie says coming out of the room with her and Meg's younger sister, Grace.
"We care about Meg." she starts.
