Life: Altered 03.69

            Emma Young and Nat Summers were at
the Planet, looking around for Dana Fairbanks. 
It was a month since Dana and Shane had announced that they’d been
married.  Things had been an insane
tapestry of events. 

            “I don’t see ‘er.”  Nat said, sliding her hand into her back
pocket, checking out the patrons of the caf. 
“Why didn’t Jo do this?”  She
asked Emma who chuckled, feeling the hot stares of several women on them.  They were both stunning, Emma was a lithe
oriental woman, with long silken hair. 
Dressed in a simple Prada suit she propped her sunglasses up on her
head, sweeping back her hair.  Almost
hazel eyes found Nat’s dark blue eyes.

            “Because she’s with Amy…”  Emma said sweetly, and Nat snorted and
remembered.  Natalie was taller then
Emma, wearing a black sleeveless shirt that rose just over her hip hugging
jeans.  The shirt read ‘Bite Me.’ She was regretting wearing it
now.  Flat stomach, sculpted abs and dark
sea blue eyes that penetrated from the shaggy dark blonde hair that was lose
and touching her shoulders.

            “Ah.”  Nat said with knowing.  Amy and Jo had been house bound for a few
weeks, yet they didn’t seem to mind, spending 24/7 together.

            “Can I help you?  You seem to be looking for someone?”  Marina asked and Emma nodded.  Taking in the exotic accent and instantly
putting it off to at least three different languages. 

            “Dana Fairbanks or…  What was the other name?”  Nat asked, blinking and looking at Emma.

            “Shane McCutcheon.”  Emma added with a smile, she would have
offered a hand but she didn’t think Marina would take it.  Nat crossed her arms as the woman looked her
over with a hungry gaze.  Jo had done
this on purpose.  She’d sent them into a
***** caf on purpose.  She was going to
get that woman, Nat thought.  She must be
laughing her ***** of right now somewhere, freaking Jo.

            “Are you supposed to be meeting
them?”  Marina asked, on guard since
Shane and Dana’s public ousting of Shane’s past.  She wanted nothing to intrude on the happy
couple.  Dana was off in a few weeks to
play in Europe and Shane was going with her.

            “Yes.  In a way. 
Alice Pieszecki hired us to investigate who might have been behind the
pictures being published about Dana and her girlfriend…”  Emma said.
