“No, I had no idea you were going to be here Tonya.” Shane slammed down
the phone and moved along the wall to the bedroom, and listened,
rubbing the painful spot on her forehead that held 12 stitches. She
closed her eyes, Tonya, of all people to be here, Tonya. It was almost
as bad if Lara had been here, like she needed the complications.

“I am still with Subaru Dana, please. We might not be together anymore,
but let’s face it, I’m good at what I do.” Tonya said with a laugh and
Dana smiled, not noticing the suitcase behind the door, or Shane’s cane
at the phone table. She was to intent on Tonya, who was lavishing
compliments and praise on her every chance she got.

“I know, do you know why I’m in the penthouse? They said something
about a mix up?” Dana began, and Shane smiled, at least she’d noticed
she was in the wrong room.

“Darling I got you the suite, nothing but the best for you.”

***** lying *****. Shane thought to herself, getting to her knees and
crawling over to where her cane was, fingers finding it and pulling it
to her. She closed it silently, wanting to throw it at Tonya, knock her
out and twap her with the cane for an hour. She held back that impulse.

“You are so sweet.” Dana said, smiling and Shane just about growled.
She stood up, flat against the wall, trying to remember the lay out of
the room, her mind a blank. What was she going to do? Step out from the
shadows and say something? But what to say?

“Well, I still have a soft spot for you Dana.” They began to talk and
Shane moved to the bedroom, using the walls and walking very slowly.
She found the bathroom and hoped that this was like the rooms in the
movies, where there was a phone in the bathroom. She inched the door
closed. She slowly moved around the room and found the phone, she
smiled, Sam you think of everything.

“Front desk…” The voice came to her and Shane spoke in a hushed voice.

“Hi this is Shane McCutcheon again, could you page Tonya.. Um…” Shane
forgot her last name, the woman’d been engaged to Dana, and no one knew
her last name. “Um.. She works for Subaru?”
