Glancing around quickly, Alice darted out from behind the pole, positioning herself beside a bewildered waiter, walking immediately beside him and using him as a shield as she snuck closer to Shane and Danas table.
The waiter suddenly veered off, leaving Alice exposed. Seeing Dana glance in her direction, Alice dove into the nearest booth, landing in a startled old womans lap, knocking her breadstick out of her hand and through the air, sending it soaring in an arc before it smacked against the back of a little boys head. The boy whipped around, his brow furrowed as he glared around the restaurant until his mother made him turn around.
Sorry, Alice mumbled, rolling off of the woman and across the floor in a lopsided somersault, nearly falling on her *****. She dizzily fell into an empty booth and crouched down behind the seat, peeking over to spy on her friends. Alice bristled as she saw Dana giggle and lay her hand on Shanes arm.
Can I help you, miss? a stern voice asked.
Alice glanced up to see an imposing woman staring down at her disapprovingly. Ummm…where’s the, uh, restroom? Alice blurted out, saying the first thing that came to mind.
The woman, who appeared to be a manager, pointed in the direction of the bathrooms and began to speak, but Alice leapt up and dashed away.
Entering the hallway that housed the restrooms, Alice noticed a dark marked Private: Supply Room-Employees Only.
She paused thoughtfully, a crazy but brilliant idea beginning to form, and tried the doorknob, finding it locked. Looking over her shoulder quickly, she then bent down and began attempting to pick the lock.

Bette let out a shaky breath as she entered the funeral home, flanked by Tina and Kit.
They settled the arrangements with the funeral home director quickly. Relieved to have at least gotten that taken care of, and knowing the hardest part was yet to come, Bette inquired about the bill.
Its been taken care of, the funeral home director told her.
Life insurance? Kit asked.
No, maam. Payment was received earlier via bank wire transfer.
What? From whom? Bette demanded.
Im not allowed to divulge that information, Ms. Porter, however, this fax came shortly afterward, and I was directed to give it to you. The man began shuffling through some papers on his desk. Tina sent Bette a puzzled look as he handed Bette the typed fax.
In a neat, bold font, the fax simply stated:
Bette, Kit, and Tina-
Good friends are hard to come by. Thank you, and take care.
Love,
…Youll figure it out eventually
Baffled, the three women met eyes with one another, the fax shaking in Bettes hands.

I agree that the comments that person left were rude, but you shouldn’t discourage people from writing anything but positive comments. Constructive criticism can improve your writing.
I have no problem with constructive criticism, and I believe that the majority of the people here know what is meant by that. It is not that someone’s writing is “ridiculous” and “sucks ass.”
I encourage constructive criticism, and have gotten some from readers. It’s not that I want only praises (deserved or undeserved), I just don’t appreciate people posting rude comments for the sake of ruffling my feathers.
Thanks.
Shane, hopefully will get to tell Dana before Alice starts with her BullSh..It’s a toss up between Marina and Dana. That is so right Good Friends are very hard to come by. Post soon the suspense is killing me..
I’m surprised, if not a little intrigued, that someone would leave a rude comment on this site. Generally, regardless of critisim, folks have kept it civilised; colour me shocked!
That being said, I sooooo want to know what the troglodytes wrote! Who even says ‘sucks ass’ anymore?

We all know that the Ladies had the money to take care of the funeral. So, who could it be Peggy Peabody ? This is sad.
