CHAPTER 9

Its been awhile since anyone has seen Shane, except for Tina. Shane hasnt returned anyone’s phone calls or hasnt even answered the door. If it wasnt for Tina telling everyone she has spoken to Shane, the gang would have gotten the police involved. Shane has decided that she needs time and space from everyone. She goes to Wax to talk to Chase.

AT WAX

Shane walks in and see’s Chase talking to a customer.

SHANE:  Hey Chase, could I have a word with you in private.

CHASE:  Sure, what’s up? First, let me say your friends keep calling here looking for you non-stop.

SHANE:  Yes I know, thats why I need your help.

CHASE:  (Patting Shane on the Shoulder)  You know Im here for you no matter what….What you need?

SHANE:  Remember one day, you were telling me about this beach house. The one you have total access to.

CHASE:  Yeah

SHANE:  Well, I was wondering could I use it for a couple of days. I just need to get away and think with no distractions.

CHASE:  Shane, its no problem. You can use the beach house. I think by going there will do you some good. I dont know if you have noticed but you look like shit, and have lost weight. Your clothes are hanging off your body, Shane.

SHANE:  (Looking at herself)  I know….I need to get my mind back in order.

CHASE:  When do you want to use it?

SHANE:  As soon as you can let me have it.

CHASE:  Ill call my friend and have him bring the keys over today.

SHANE:  (Excited)  Cool, then I could leve tomorrow morning. Is there anything, I have to do to the house?

CHASE:  (Nodding his head)  Nope…It has all the essentials you need. A fireplace, big screen tv, stereo system, and a fully loaded kitchen. The only thing you do need is to bring your own food.
