Shane turns around looking at her friend, waiting for her to finish.

            “Lay off the coke from now on okay?” Alice says this in a low, but serious voice, so that only Shane can hear.

She stays silent for a while, thinking about what she was asked to do, or rather, not do, but she quickly realizes it’s for her own good.

            “No problem, Al,” she states, making a huge smile form across Alice’s face. Returning the smile, Shane goes to get her things and all four women pile into a car and leave.

            “You guys wanna beer? Shane questions the group as they walk into the Planet

            “Yes please,” Bette says as Jenny simply nods.

Bette and Jenny go to grab a table as Shane and Alice head to the bar to get the beers.

            “Shane! You have got to take a shot with me!” Alice insists after Shane orders the beer.

            “Okay.”

“Let me get two shots of uh… that,” Alice says pointing at a bottle of Jose Cuervo. She looks at Shane and raises her eyebrows. Directing her attention back to the bartender she says, “Make that a double.”

Shane rolls her eyes and looks toward the door and she sees a familiar figure walk in. Trying to get a better look, she realizes it’s her. Carmen.

Alice grabs her attention when she says,” Okay, Shane, you ready?”

            “Yeah, let’s hurry.”

They take their shots and Shane turns back to the door, but there’s no sign of her. She’s not in the DJ booth, not on the dance floor, not at the bar…. Shane figured she left.

            “Come on Shane, one more!” Alice yelled over the music while turning Shane around.

            “Alright.”

They down another shot and then join their friends at the table, beers in hand.

            “Here you go ladies,” Shane says, handing Bette and Jenny their beers. “I’ll be right back.”

Shane heads to the restroom and enters a stall. She hears someone come in, but doesn’t think much of it, after all, it is a club. Finishing up, she flushes the toilet and exits the stall and sees Carmen leaning across the sink, looking at her face close up in the mirror behind a large pair of sunglasses.

Surprised to see Shane standing a few feet away from her, Carmen stands up strait and pushes her glasses all the way on her face.

Not sure if she saw what she thought she saw, Shane walks up to Carmen and pulls her Shades off.

What The Fuck!?
