First I need to call Melissa, Cecilia said getting up to retrieve the phone. And then were going to make sure that none of this goes public.

Right on that.

And then were going to make sure that this Jessica gets what she deserves, Marina said with ice in her voice. Shell wish that she never started all of this when Im finished with her. Alice and Cecilia looked at Marina in amazement. The woman looked as if she wanted to kill someone and they hoped that she wouldnt go through with the plans that they could practically see forming in Marinas mind.

After Alice left, Melissa arrived and she and Cecilia disappeared into Cecilias office to discuss what they needed for Friday. After an hour of thinking not so good things to herself, Marina grabbed her cell phone and went out by the pool in order to not have her conversation overheard. She dialed a number on speed dial and patiently waited for an answer.

Yeah? she heard in Shanes familiar voice.

Shane are you busy?

Not really just cutting. Whats up? Without wasting words, Marina filled Shane in on what had happened. When she was finished, Shane was just as angry as she was. What a ***** sorry lady, Marina could just imagine the look Shane must have gotten from her client when she made her comment. Im sorry. If I would have known

Shane you didnt do anything wrong! How could you have known this was going to happen? Marina interrupted.

I know but Im still sorry. So what can I do to help?

Can you meet me in an hour? Not at the Planet. I want to discuss an idea I have but I dont want Cecilia to know about it.

Shane was silent for a moment before she answered. Are you sure its a good idea to be doing stuff behind her back? Shane asked slightly apprehensive.

It will be alright. Ill tell her about everything when weve figured out how to handle this Jessica. I just dont want Cecilia worrying about what Im going to do when she needs to concentrate on clearing things up at the university.

Got it OK, where do you want to meet? Marina picked a small childrens park near Shanes salon. Alright see ya in an hour, Shane said before hanging up. Marina walked back inside and went to check on how things were progressing. Cecilia had retrieved boxes from the attic that held papers and things from when she taught. Melissa was reading out loud from one of the papers when Marina walked in.
