ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON 15

Episode 42

" I'm glad that Dad and Glory have agreed to watch Miracle whenever we need them to," Spencer murmured as he washed the breakfast dishes at the stainless steel sink in his kitchen after DuBuis and the boys had left for Barrington Academy. " With the very busy schedule you're making for me I don't know what I would do about her. I don't want to bring her to too many campaign events. It's bad enough that Luci won't be out of the hospital until at least next Friday according to the doctor there and we're also concerned about Mark and Spence. "

Winston Arnett sat at the kitchen table, absorbed in his laptop and drinking his third cup of coffee as Miracle sat finishing her organic whole grain cereal.

Winston looked up at his half brother. " It's only a few meet and greets at local festivals in the area. As well a town hall meeting. And, some question and answer sessions at the community center and senior center. It's important to get your face out to the community. And, don't forget Rebel today? Are you ready? And, I've scheduled you interviews with the Reign, the Post and the Times as well as with the Hyattsville Eagle weekly paper. It's not that much really. Not for politics. My .... Our father is always on the go when he's running for his seat. "

" Not much," Spencer mumbled as he scrubbed the cast iron skillet firmly. " Of course. Not much. And , yes, I'm ready. I have numerous cited sources to reference. "

Winston sat back and made a face at him. "That's fine, Spencer, but don't overburden the public too much with too many numbers and whatnot. It's Rebel after all. Not Meet The Press. You need to be relatable as well. Relaxed. Confident. Maybe even.....fun. "

" Fun ? " Now it was Spencer's turn to make faces.  " Politics is not fun. It's a very serious job that affects everyone. "

Winston laughed in disbelief. " Not fun ? Don't be silly, brother. I'm having a blast myself. Aren't you? "

Then , before Spencer could answer honestly, his cell phone on the table rang shrilly. " Answer that , will you, Winston? And , it better not be another of the obnoxious anonymous calls I've been getting lately. "

" Anonymous calls ? ," Winston asked in confusion as he picked up the phone, noticing it said private number on the screen and answered it promptly. " Good morning. "

A rough muffled sounding male voice barked out," Drop out or we'll make you drop out , cripple. "
