My Baby’s Daddy

Soon, dawn came bearing down on its citizens. Shirley had a good night’s sleep after all the drinking. Zacharias had a meeting that day but didn’t request for Shirley to accompany him there. The meeting would go on for a long time. So, he knew she might become bored if she went.

Imogen caught wind of that. So, she started coming up with a plan, and she asked Roy, “Captain Barlowe, may I stay back with Shirley?”

Roy refused it at first. Then, he had an audience with Zacharias and told him about Imogen’s request. Zacharias knew Imogen was Shirley’s friend, so he promptly agreed to it, “She can stay with Shirley.”

Zacharias’ motorcade left. The landline for Shirley’s room rang. It was a call from Imogen. “Yes?”

“Shirley? It’s me. I stayed back, too. Mr. Flintstone wanted me to go shopping with you.”

Shirley was going to buy some presents for her parents and grandmother. Flor was known for its craftwork. It wasn’t every day she could go overseas. Hence, she wanted to bring back some souvenirs for her family. “Sure, we’ll go around.” Shirley didn’t suspect her friend was up to something.

Imogen heaved a sigh of relief. This is divine providence. She picked up her other phone and called her mafia friend. Then, she told them about the job in a foreign language, cautious that someone would overhear their conversation.
