Chapter 204: Mitzi
*That bitch, when you find her, I want to know. – Zero*
The clubhouse was buzzing with Nessie being sick and Doc kicking her out of her own kitchen. The old ladies were looking knowingly at each other. Her girls were pretty sure what was going on.
The men were completely lost.
Doc refused to give any information. Knuckles just shrugged and said that Doc was referring her to a specialist. Siobhan and Toad both remained silent since it was not their place. Lollipop and Brody were just as lost.
Nessie hated the attention and hid either in the room or the office. Currently she sat in her office working on the orders for the clubhouse and the daycare.
She kept in mind what Karan had told her yesterday morning. She had also received an email from her and Winona, the interim kitchen manager at the daycare. Adjusting the menu to the more popular items while still meeting the state nutrition requirements was harder than expected.
She was going through her cook books and websites looking for ways to add in vegetables. Attaching a few links in the email for recipes, Nessie heard something in the kitchen.
Stepping into the kitchen, she found Zee raiding the pantry.
“What are yeh looking for?”
“I heard Karan talking about the daycare.” Zee blushed. “I have a chocolate zucchini cake that I was going to suggest. But I thought that I would make one for you. I went and bought the ingredients, most of them anyway-”
“It’s fine, lass.” Nessie laughed. “Go ahead and make it. We’ll look at adjusting the recipe for larger cakes tomorrow.”
“Are you sure?” She looked at her boss nervously. “Will you be feeling better?”
“Scrambled eggs.” At her confused look, Nessie smiled and placed her hand on her lower abdomen. “The smell of scrambled eggs makes me sick.”
“Ohhhh….” Zee smiled back at what she had not just been told. It confirmed her suspicions and also let her know that no one else had been told.
The women had an understanding. Zee returned to gathering what she needed and Nessie turned back to her office. Except the door was locked. This had happened once or twice before, and she thought nothing of it as she walked out to the hall and then her office.
Grabbing a water on her way past the cooler, she barely registered the figure in her office.
“You ruined everything.” Mitzi accused.
“I’ve no idea what yer going on about.” Nessie said sitting at her computer. She quickly added Knuckles and Toad to the email before typing a signature line at the bottom and sending it.
“You were supposed to go back to him. But you didn’t.” The older woman sneered as she pulled out a pistol. “But you’re going to go now. Take the watch off and leave your phone on the desk.”
Nessie did as she was told and then walked out the back door of the clubhouse with the same pistol in her back. She got into the passenger seat of the red sports car and Mitzi got in the driver’s seat.
Inside, the phone on the desk rang as Toad rushed to her office.
“Nessie!” Toad yelled as he reached the empty office. He yanked on the kitchen door and found it locked. Fumbling with the lock, he continued to yell for his niece.
He burst through the door and found a surprised Zee in the kitchen.
“Where’s Nessie?” Toad demanded as Lollipop burst through the door and asked the same question.
“She just went back to her office.” Zee said wide eyed.
They spoke for a few more minutes before he called Werewolf back.
Knuckles came into the kitchen through the office. No one had ever seen him looking as pissed off as he did at that moment. “Where the fuck is my wife?”
