“Joey I don’t know how this happened. None of the doors or windows were unlocked nor were any of them forced open. “

Joey is sobbing uncontrollably.

“It could have been Stevie…. They could have skinned Stevie alive while I slept!

That foal begged me for help and all I could do was put her out of her misery!!! She even in that state still wanted to live!!! “

You are Jill Jackson.

You were called over to the house of Joey Portnoy after a traumatic night.

“Joey i won’t let anyone hurt you or Stevie, you have my word!”

Joey looks up at you with tears streaming down her face.

“Jill…. I’m …. (Deep breath) I’m going back to Long Island to see my dad.

I don’t know when I’ll be back but…. Please watch over my colleagues. I know they can come across as upidy and argumentative but they have sacrificed a lot to be here especially Jamie.”

You hug Joey.

“ I’ll get my brother Ned to look after your colleagues. I’m coming with you.”

Joey looks at you confused

“Jill I appreciate the offer but I don’t want to impose any more than I already have.”

You look Joey directly in the eyes.

“Ned is much more experienced than myself. If anything your colleagues will be better protected.”

Joey wipes her tears away.

“Okay… but you have to bring Dakota, Stevie would be very lonely otherwise.”

You smile

“I’d rather not trust the safety of our fluffies to a commercial airline loading crew, if we can’t take them in cabin with us then I think maybe someone here should fluffsit .”

The door to Joey’s bedroom creaks open.

Duncan walks out with a trash bag , rubber gloves and some cleaning supplies.

“There you go, completely clean and sanitized . Like it never even happened.”

Joey looks at him embarrassed.

“You aren’t going to tell anyone about what you saw in the closet….right?”

Duncan smiles

“I didn’t see anything.”

Joey lets out a sigh of relief.

“ hey Duncan. Thanks for helping out with this.”

“No problem Joey. you , Bubbeh and Jackie are practically family at this point.”

After explaining the situation to Duncan.
Joey hesitantly makes her request .

“Duncan I know I’ve already asked a lot from you but if at all possible…. Would you mind fluff sitting for Stevie and Dakota until we get back from Long Island in two weeks … please?”

Duncan rubs the back of his neck.

“Unfortunately I’ll be spending the next two weeks getting things ready for my wedding. But I could see if the Bakir family can watch them? Sorry for the inconvenience.”

You see Joey perk up .

“Wedding?!”

Duncan chuckles nervously.

“Yeah it’s actually the week after you get back. Lorna and I had planned to tell you and everybody else at tonight’s weekly family gathering.”

Joey begins to sweat.

“Oh…”

Duncan sighs and smiles.

“I’m really really sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.”

Finally, tying the knot! Yay!

Poor Joey. I can’t stop wondering who did that to the foal.
