“Thanks, Doc,” Alice says with a fake smile. He moves on to the next room. “I feel like shit.”

“I don’t get why you would jump into the street to get hit by a car instead of risking being hit by some kid on a bike,” Dana says.

“Well, it was spur of the moment thinking,” Alice replies in defense. “I wasn’t thinking, ‘Hey – that car looks comfy, I should dive in front of it!’ I was thinking, ‘Shit! Look out for that psycho on the bike!’” The rest laugh.

“How’s your head?” Tina asks, scrunching her face at the sight of Alice’s cut on her forehead that had a bruised bump under it.

“Well… you know that game you play where the ground hog pops it’s head out of the hole and you hit it with the hammer?” Everyone nods. “I would love to be that ground hog…” They laugh. “Hey, where’s Shane?”

“I called her a few times, but she didn’t pick up,” Carmen replies. “She must still be at work.”

“Tell her to get her ass over here and bring me a caramel latte.”

“Alice, you’re not allowed caffeine,” Bette reminds her.

“Fuck that,” she ignores. “She can sneak it in here for me.”

“I’ll go give her another try,” Carmen says standing.

“Oh! Can you get me a Twix?” Alice begs. Carmen laughs and agrees.

“Actually, I could go for a chocolate bar too,” Helena says and leaves with her. They make their way down the corridor to the waiting room. Carmen brings out her cell and starts to dial Shane’s number. “Shit, there’s no Twix! What other one do you think she wouldn’t complain about?”

Carmen walks over and looks in the candy machine. “I don’t know, I’d say you’re screwed either way,” she laughs. “Go for a Mars.”

“Damn her and her picky ways!”

Carmen presses send and walks a couple of steps away as Helena puts in the money and selects the chocolate bars. She hears the ring and a few seconds later she hears Shane’s ringtone in the distance. She holds the phone away from her ear and looks around.
