“Not me, and a Peabody, well that sort of explains a lot, I
think or as you say, I thunk.”  Shane laughed, fixing her tie and letting the
dark blue tie fall onto her flat chest, looking dapper as Dana took her arm and they went out to Dana‘s new BMW convertible.

            Bette was dressed and she was helping Candace dress, she was wearing a dress due to
the cast that was up above her knee.  She
was hobbling around on crutches, grunting and being a hard case about it.

            “You need to rest, Alice and Peggy will understand…”

            “I’m going.”  Candace said for the 10th time that day.  Bette just pushed her eyebrows up and Candace grunted. 
“Bette, I really need to go.  I just have to, can’t really explain it, but
I have too.” 

            “Ok, ok.  We haven’t really spoken about what happened.”  Bette said, feeling a bit guilty about what had happened,
but not able to speak of it, yet.

            “What happened is I got trapped in a
room with Cassandra, nothing more and nothing less.  I broke my leg; I’m laid up for at least 6
weeks.  What am I going to do for 6
weeks?”  Candace lamented and Bette sat down next to her on the bed.

            “Rest, I’ll take care of
everything.  Stop beating yourself up
over it.”  Bette said, just as the doorbell rang. 

            “Who is that?”  Candace asked and Bette moved to the front door, Candace swearing at the crutches and followed Bette.

            “Bette…” 
Ro said from the front door, she was holding a large envelope, and Bette ushered her in. 

            “Ro, what are you doing here?  And you look really good.”  Bette said Rosita was dressed in a suit, something very Stella from what Bette could see.  She had her hair loose, the soft strands
falling into her eyes.  She didn’t bother
pushing them out of the way.

            “I had some business to attend
to.  I need a favor.”  Ro began, nodding hello to Candace, who’s mouth hung open at the ***** Latina.

            “Hey Ro.”  Candace offered and Ro nodded her hello. 

            “Ok, what can I help you with?”  Bette asked, waving Ro into the house, she handed the
envelope to Bette.
