****

            Kit was running around The Planet, trying to run a business again by herself. She was happy to have Carmen back to play the music. She was making sure everybody was having a great time. This was her first night doing a masquerade party for the ***** community. She thought of it as a good thing to do. She saw Bette and Tina dressed up with masks. She walked over to them and gave them a hug.

“How is my favorite couple?” Bette hugged her and smiled.

“We’re doing just fine. How are things holding up?”

“Everything’s just great. I can’t believe the outcome of this party.”

“You did a really good thing Kit.” Tina said.

“Where’s my lil’ niece?”

“She’s with Dana and Lara.”

“I’m glad that you guys are out having a good time. I need to run to the store and grab some things. It’s getting really low back there.”

“I’ll go with you.” Bette said.

“No, just stay and have a good time with your wife. I’ll be back before you know it.” Kit walked out of The Planet and headed for the car. She pulled out of the parking lot and headed to the store.

Ten minutes later

            Kit put the stuff in her car and got in. She pulled out of the lot and headed back down to The Planet. She made it to the stop sign and waited. As soon as she pulled off, Kit saw someone run in front of her car, and she slammed on her breaks. Kit jerked her head back and heard the body hit the car.

“*****.” Kit jumped out of her car and ran to the front. She kneeled down and saw a teenage girl. She was relief that the girl was still breathing. She tried her best to pick her up and put her in her car. She opens the door and put her in. She got into her car and headed down the street. She grabbed her phone and called Bette.

“BetteIt’s KitI’m calling to tell you that I just got into an accidentNo, I’m alright. I hit someoneI don’t know, she just jumped right in front of the carWell, can you meet me at the hospitalJust tell Kara, the bartender that I’m going to be lateTrust me okJust meet at the hospitalAlright, bye” Kit hung up her phone and kept driving. The girl started to moan in the backseat. Kit looked back there and looks back at the window.

“Everything’s going to be alright, I’m taking you to the hospital. Just relax, okay.” Kit kept her eyes on the road and headed for the hospital.
