Chapter 170


    Healy racked his brain, trying to recall the ces. “Border Town, River City, Cloudcrest, and Metroville


    Those are the four, I think


    Gerard had a knack for remembering Pings and quickly memorized the locations. He got up from the


    ground, swung his ing over his motorcycle, and avard the engine. Tin heading back ”


    Vroon! The motorcycle sped off kicking up a cloud of dust bend it


    Kesmey scratched “is head, “What’s up with Geard all of a sudden?


    “Healy meded. ” think he’s got his mom on his mind. Those origami cranes he made out of candy


    wrappers have got to be connected to


    About half a month ago, Gerard had shown up with several old candy wrapper cranes and asked Healy


    to help him figure out where the


    candies, were made.


    After some digging Healy found out that those candy wrappers were 10 years old


    It was a mystery where Gerand had gotten those wrappers from


    krame watched the motorcycle disappear into the distance and sighed deeply. “I heard J is soon


    going to find a stepmom for Gerard. The poor guy’s had it rough”


    Healy frowned. “They’re not seriously considering making Fletcher’s mom Gerard’s stepmom, are


    they?”


    “It’s looking likely Kearney nodded affirmatively


    George chimed in, “If only we could help Gerard out. Fletcher’s mom looks like trouble. If she ends up


    giving Gerard a stepbrother or something, what’s he going to do then?”


    keamey looked worried, “If only we could do something to help Gerard”


    An idea struck Healy, “Keames, doesn’t your grandma know Gerard’s grandma? Why don’t you ask her


    about Gerard’s mom next time you


    “That’s a n Kearney nodded. “And it just so happens to be my grandma’s birthday in a few days!”


    Meanwhile, on the other side of town.


    Karen spent the afternoon with the Yeager family before taking a ride back home.


    Thinking of Anthea’s beautiful visage, Karen couldn’t help but be smitten once again. She leaned


    towards the driver’s seat, “Baber, let’s swing by where Sherman works on our way.”


    The Christensen Group had a branch in Cloudcrest as well.


    “Of course”


    Karen continued, “Baber, how old are you now?”


    Babers temples throbbed remembering thest time Karen had beaten around the bush in


    conversation, boasting about how beautiful her granddaughter–inw wasi


    He wondered what the olddy was going to brag about this time, “I’m 28.”


    Karen was taken aback, “28 already! That’s just two years younger than Sherman. Got a girlfriend yet?”


    “No, ma’am” Baber replied


    “Hasn’t your grandma got you a pretty girl yet?”


    “Nope,” Baber shook his head.


    Karen leaned back with a satisfied smile, “That figures! No one else would be as concerned about their


    grandsons as I am! So, normal that you don’t have a girlfriend”


    Baber was speechless. So this was just another boast about herself.


    The car soon arrived at Sherman’s workce.


    Karen got out and headed straight for Sherman’s office


    “Guess who I just met, you rascal!” she shouted


    it’s


    “I have no idea,” Sherman replied, bncing a pen on his fingers while clicking away with his mouse,


    instructing his secretary to pour


    tea for Karen


    “No sense of humor… Karen spread her hands in mock despair, “No wonder you’re still single!”


    She was starting to feel sorry for Ann, wondering if she’d eventually be bored to death by this dry


    character.
