Head of the Graveyard Shift
In the morning Flack awoke to Marie staring at him. "What is it sweetheart"? "I miss my mommy, she cried. "Aww, sweetheart, come here". As Marie crawled into Don's lap, he held her tight, and told her it would be okay. "Hey Flack", oh, hi Marie, how are you this morning"? "She's missing her mommy". Sitting down beside them, they cooed and cuddled her, when the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it Flack". Answering the door it was the Social Worker. "Good morning Jennifer, how's Marie"? "She's a little emotional but okay". Walking into the living room, she seen Marie wrapped in Don's arms. "She seems to like you Don, which is a good thing, as I have another favour to ask you". "What favour"? "We need you and Jennifer to keep Marie for the rest of the week". "What, why"? "It seems we have no openings till monday". "Well I'm sorry to hear that, but I have to work".
"I understand that, but I could clear it with your Superior". Don breathed deep, cause he knew as much as he'd love a few days off, he wasn't sure if it was such a good idea. "Don", said Marie, I understand if you don't want me". That did it, Don's heart completely broke. "Listen Marie, I'd love nothing more then to watch you, but I'm not sure this is the right place for you". "Sure it is Don, you like me and I like you, that's all that matters", said Marie.
Don was at a loss for words, and looking over at Jennifer he said..."What do you think Jennifer, could you handle staying here for four more days". "Of course, I'd stay with you forever, said Jennifer. Flack looked at her in awe. "What did you say"? "I said....I'd stay with you forever". Never in a million years did Don think he would find love again. "So what do you say Don"? asked the Social Worker. "Okay, we'll keep Marie, but you have to clear it with my boss". "I will, now Marie, I've brought some clothes from your house for you, so you go change".
While Marie was changing Don started breakfast, while Jennifer cleaned. "Jennifer, can you help me tie my shoe". "Sure sweetheart, come here". With Marie's shoe tied they headed in the kitchen for breakfast. "Don, are you taking me to school"? "Yup, so hurry and eat, I've made you a lunch, and Jennifer will pick you up". "Okay, thank-you both for taking care of me". "You are welcome sweetheart, said Don.
On their way to the school Marie asked..."Don, when I grow up do you think I could be a detective like you"? "Of course you can, and I'll help you". "Really, honest you will". "Yup, it will be you and I, Don and Marie Detective Agency". "Oh, that sounds so cool, leaning over the seat Jennifer kissed Don on the cheek. "Bye Don, see you tonight". With a smile on his face, Don knew he was falling for the little girl who had brought back joy to his life.
