Shane took a drag of her cigarette as she stared at Carmen leaning across the table. Alice saw this and smiled. Carmen grinned as she made her ball in.

“Yessssssssss!” She giggled and clapped her hands together. “I won!”

Shane grinned. “Congratulations Miss Carmen.” She winked, and Carmen smiled softly.

“Thank you.”

“Hey, what about me? I was pretty kick ass.” Alice took a drink of her beer.

“You weren’t too bad.” Alice rolled her eyes.

“Wow—it’s getting pretty late. I have to work in the morning.” Carmen sighed as she raked her fingers through her hair.

“Did you guys need a ride home?” Shane asked.

“No,” Alice shook her head. “I drove.”

“Well I’ll be driving home since you had a drink or two.”

“It was nice meeting you ladies. Hopefully we will meet again.” Shane smiled.

“Yeah, I hope so too.” Carmen grinned. “How about you give me a call sometime?” She grabbed a napkin and wrote her number on it. She handed her the napkin, and Shane slid the material in her pocket.

“I’ll make sure to call you.”

“All right Carm—lets go.” Alice slipped into her jacket and started to walk away from the table. “Oh yeah, it was nice to meet you Shane.”

“Likewise.” Shane nodded, and Carmen put her hat on.

“It was really nice to meet you.”

“It was nice to meet you too.”

“Bye.” Carmen smiled.

“Bye.” Shane finished the rest of her cigarette as she watched Carmen walking towards the door. She put her stick away as she looked towards the door again. She saw a man walking out a few seconds after Carmen did. She grabbed her jacket from the stool and began to walk out the door. Her phone vibrated in her pocket, and she reached for it. “Yeah.” She put on her jacket as she saw Carmen pulling away from the bar in a blue Mini. She listened to the voice as she watched a silver vehicle following behind Carmen and Alice. “I’ll be there.” She hung up the phone and ran towards her black Range Rover. She jumped into her SUV and peeled out of the parking lot.
