"Hi Mom. No, there's no tunnel. No, that's not . . .How can I be interfering with an investigation? I'm no place near where they're investigating!"

Peter smiled as the Debate began. At least he didn't need to worry about entertainment on the drive home.

"This is Captain Jack, signing off, but want to once again welcome Ms. Madison Sloan to the KLEZ crew. She's our new intern and if tonight is any indication, I think she'll fit right in."

"Thanks Jack. I just want to thank everyone here at the station for making my first evening so enjoyable. I'll be haunting the Texas skies, hopefully your Texas Hearts, but definitely your Texas ears for the next few months. So keep the first one cleared for take-off, the second one open, and the third one tuned to KLEZ."

“Ladies and gentlemen, looks like we got a winner on our hands. Good night all."

Billy reached over and closed the application. Everyone in the house had gathered together to listen to Madison's first program as an intern via the station's website.

“Goddess, she sounds so sexy. Even when it's digital," Heda moaned happily, leaning back in the chair she'd occupied for thirty minutes straight. For her, sitting still that long without a book in her hand was almost a record.

"I concur," Billy said, then glanced at Sasha.

Sasha looked for a moment like she was going to object to her boyfriend referring to someone else as sexy, but then she just shrugged.

"She really does," she admitted.

"Heda?" Came a voice from the front door.

Heda's skin flushed, and she stood up slowly.

"Time to face the music." She walked out to the entryway to find Ed hanging up his coat.

"You really just couldn't let it go, could you?" He stopped her before she could begin to rant.

“Which is good. The lead investigator pulled in a voodoo priest from New Orleans and a priestess from Haiti, and they've stabilized the King with sympathetic magics of their own. And I reminded everyone that it was Madison's idea in the first place and that, you confirmed. You're an annoying, bratty sister, but only because you're right so damn much."

"You are the master of the backhanded compliment, you know that?"

Ed bowed.

"I have to do something to stand out in this family."

"You're amazing in bed, if that helps," Joanna shouted from the other room.

"She is not a normal girl," Ed muttered.

Heda nodded, looked back, then grabbed Ed by the arm and led him out onto the porch.

"Okay," she started, "since you're not mad at me --"

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves," he interrupted.

"I said you're not in trouble, not that I'm not --"
