Free Ding Dong!! Is She Dead? by Alathia Morgan

thought possible. It was like putting on different hats, this one was teacher or mentor. The ability to be able to show them how to make this work so they could support their families was something that Allie enjoyed.
    She loved meeting new people, just like with Megan; someone could change your life just by meeting them.
    Allie had two more appointments set up, so when Janet left she refilled her cup of soda and got the next kit ready. The hour passed and no one showed up, so she texted the new girl.
    Allie: “It’s the Nova lady r u still meeting me today?”
    Girl: “Sorry, forgot. Next time?”
    Allie: “Let’s try for Wednesday. Same time ok?”
    Girl: “No, I don’t think I want to do it after all.”
    Allie: “Let me know if you change your mind. Thanks.”
    It was always disappointing when someone stood you up, but Allie was certainly familiar with people that disappointed you in life.
    Allie settled in on her laptop and sent out e-mails. She also updated the group Facebook page so that her team would be able to stay updated on where the meetings and events were for the next week.
    The next appointment did show up, so Allie was able to get Betty started on her Nova journey. Her goal was to earn enough money to take the family on vacation and with the amount of names that she keep writing down, it would take her no time to have enough saved up for her vacation.
    Since she could easily reach that goal, Allie asked her what she would do with twice that much money and she answered that their car was older with a lot of miles on it. They were going to need a new one in the next year and had no extra money for the payments since her car had been paid off for quite a while. Allie worked with her to make a step by step goal. She could accomplish it if she kept on track. She would be the proud owner of a new car by the first of next year. Helping others allowed Allie to feel a sense of accomplishment.
    Finishing up with her day by leaving books in a few new places, Allie went home to collect her order that had arrived while she was gone. She bagged it up so that the next day all she had to do was deliver it. Not knowing how early she would be able to get started tomorrow, this was the best she could do to prepare for the next day.
    Grabbing a bag of clothes, Allie reset the alarm and headed up to the hospital to collect Sally. This time they were going to ride in an empty coroner’s vehicle so that there wasn’t an established pattern that Mike could follow.

    Officer Grayson was there playing cards with Sally when Allie walked into the room. They ate dinner with Megan so that they had a healthy meal after all the junk food the past week. Allie was grateful for hot food that was semi- tasty.
    Megan informed Sally that there would be homework for her to do the next day. Sally was okay with that adjustment since there had been so many different things to deal with lately. Homework would give her something constructive to do during the next few days while the waiting game continued.
    They had just finished dinner and were getting ready to leave when the lawyer came in, dressed in casual clothes. Mr. Jones looked like he was going to stay for a while and he didn’t look too terrible in his comfy clothes. Turning toward Megan, Allie raised an eyebrow inquiring what was up with this look.
    “David is keeping me company tonight since I found out that he is a fan of Castle . He thought that we could watch it together since I’m not going anywhere for a while.” Megan felt the need to explain.
    Allie turned toward, David Jones, “I am glad that you are keeping her mind off of all that has been going on. The worst thing that someone can do is sit around and wonder about what ifs. Thank you for keeping her company and from being able to worry all evening.”
    “Now, you two have good evening and I will see you tomorrow morning, so don’t stay up too late.” Allie walked over to the door as Sally gave her
