Kit was right, I couldn´t lose much. So I walked back to Alice´s apartment, only to find her not being there. “Where could she be?” I asked myself. Then it hit me. It was friday! Today was her radio show.

Calling a taxi to me I drove to KCRW. I paid the taxi driver and entered the KCRW building. I asked the receptionist where the THE CHART studio is and he told me the way. I never ran that fast in my entire life. I could hear her voice on the speakers that where broadcasting THE CHART. I ran and ran and finally reached the THE CHART studio, only to find it empty expect a technician. Looking confused at the technician, because I could not hear Alice´s voice anymore, I asked him “Where is Alice?” he looked at me “ Not in today. We pre-recorded the show a few days ago. She said she had something to do. If you see the big headed celebrity that Ms. Alice Pieszecki is tell her she is getting paid for being LIVE not pre-recorded. And oh by the way tell her I am not her messenger. If she needs someone to call her then she should give them her cell phone not the studio number.” Before I knew what happened a woman with glasses hit the technician with a book on his head that caused him to fall off his chair he was sitting on. “Phil, how often have I told you not to talk like this about Alice?” the woman looked at me and smiled and shaked my hand. “My name is Ruth, I am Alice´s boss here, so to say. She pre-recorded today because she said had to do something private. I know her ex died a few weeks ago so I just let her do it. I mean she get´s the highest qoutes. But Mr Big Head here is just jealous. Anyway, your name is ?” “Lara Perkins” “Oh so your the ex of the ex…funny thing. Your the soup chef right?” i looked at her confused at the term “soup chef”. “I am the what?” Doris just laughed and walked out. “Lara, perhaps you want to go to BLAIKIES with me right now? I think we should talk.” “I can´t I have to find Alice.” Doris just grabbed my hand and let me to her car. Practicly throwing me into it she started the car and left the KCRW. parking lot. Suddenly I felt something hit my head and everything went black.
