“Ok, I gotta get going.”

Ivan stands up and looks at Kit. “How about we meet up after your shift?”

Kit smiles. “I would really like that. I’m done at 5.”

Ivan kisses her on her forehead. “Alright, I’ll see you then.”

Kit watches Ivan walk away from her. “Bye.”  Kit takes a deep breath and got back to work.

            Bette walks away from her desk from a long day at the gallery. She walks down the steps and swings her purse over her arm. She grabs her keys and starts to walk out the door. Before Bette could walk out the door, James comes running behind her.

“Bette, stop!”

Bette stops in her tracks and turn around. “What is it James? It’s time for me to go home, I really had a rough day.”

James takes a breath. “We have a problem. Come with me.” Bette sighs and follows James to the back room with the inventory.

“What’s the problem?”  James hands her the paper, and she begins to read. “Why are Reese Thomas’s paintings going to the CAC?”

“I don’t know, the carriers faxed the paper in while you were on your lunch.”

Bette looks away from the paper and crumbles it up. “That *****, I know Helena had something to do with it. Thanks James.”

“No problem.” Bette walks out of the back room and grabs her phone. She calls the CAC and waits for an answer.

“Hi Michelle, it’s BetteIt’s good to hear from you too, but I called to see if Helena Peabody was inOh she did, well thank you Michelle. It was nice talking to you too, bye.” Bette hangs up her phone and pushes the door open. She walks out to the SAAB and gets in. She slams the door and puts the key into the ignition. She puts the car in drive and speeds down the road.

            Kit walks out of The Planet and swings her purse over her shoulder. She looks around for Ivan, but no sight of him. She sighs and starts to walk away.

“Where are you going lil’ lady?”
