light blue eyes radiated warmth and love.
“Good evening, darling wife,” Abe said, looking at Jana-John. “You look exquisite this evening.”
“Thank you, love,” she said, smiling.
She settled onto her chair at the opposite end of the table from her husband, and clasped her hands beneath her chin.
“Isn’t this a delightful meal for a hot summer night?” she said. “There’s lemonade, sliced smoked chicken from the deli, two loaves of crunchy French bread, and a delicious fruit salad.”
“Marvelous, my dear,” Abe said, beaming.
Tux, Blue and Bram looked at the six bowls on the table. There was one filled with oranges, another held apples, then on they went—bananas, grapes, peaches and plums.
“Fruit salad?” Blue said.
“Well, yes,” his mother said. “Arrange the fruit on your plate, take a bite of each in whatever order you prefer, and by the time it all reaches your tummy, you’ll have a salad.”
Bram shrugged. “Makes sense to me.” He tossed an orange to Tux. Tux’s hand shot out and snatched the orange out of the air. “Start your salad, big brother.”
They ate in silence for a few minutes, then Jana-John explained to Abe what had taken place with Tux’s psychic powers.
“You don’t say,” Abe said. “Tux, you see that you take proper care of that young woman until this mystery is solved.”
“Yes, sir,” Tux said.
“He knows that, Abe,” Jana-John said. “In all your reading have you run across anything like this?”
“Can’t remember that I have,” Abe said. “Back in history if a man had psychic powers they locked him away in an institution.”
“Good plan,” Blue said. “Bye, Tux. Can I have your stereo system?”
Tux glared at Blue, then directed his attention to his father. “I spoke to a Dr. Jeremiah Nixon this afternoon about this mess.”
