"I’ve got to start cooking if we’re going to eat tonight," Tina said trying to change the subject.

"I’ll help," Kit joined in the conversation trying to get Bette out of the house so she could talk to Tina.

"O.K.  I can take a hint," Bette said winking at the two and walked the kids out to the pool.

Alice and Shane found their way back to the apartment and found a parking space in the front.  Alice jumped out of the car and ran up the stairs to get the video tape.  Shane got out, stretched, leaned against the car, and lit a cigarette. 

“You can’t park there,” said a beautiful voice. 

Shane looked up and saw a gorgeous blonde female dressed in an officer’s uniform and smiled.

“Oh, I’m sorry.  You see, my friend went to the apartment to grab a video tape and we are leaving.  I can’t smoke in the car, so I got out,” Shane stated.  “She should be out in a sec.”

“Where you from?” said the officer.

“California,” Shane admitted.

“Ah, Cali,” repeated the officer.  “I thought I recognized the accent.  You here on vacation?”

“Well, sort of,” Shane started.  “You see, Kit Porter is opening up this coffee house in a couple of days and she invited us to come join in, in the festivities.”

“Kit Porter.  The Kit Porter?” asked the officer.

“Yes,” Shane answered.  “You are more than welcome to come by during the grand opening.”

“Will you be there?” asked the officer.

“Yes,” Alice answered.

“Well, then I guess I’ll take that into consideration,” replied the officer.  “Now about the parking, you can’t park in front of the building.  The streets around here get pretty full with pedestrians around here at night and we don’t want anything happening to the vehicle or the pedestrians.”

“Oh, well that’s a good thing to know,” Alice said.  “Where would one park the car that lives in the building?” she asked.

“Either down the side street or in the back,” answered the officer.  “You two keep safe while you’re here.  See ya around.”

Shane finished her cigarette, they both got into the car, and drove away.  Alice was so distracted by the tape and the police officer that she missed her turn.  She turned two blocks down and turned left, went one block turned left again, and drove two blocks, but was unable to find the street she was suppose to be on.  She turned around and backtracked.  When she finally got on the road she was supposed to have turned on, she saw the road they had turned around at and somehow missed this road.
