“I don’t know Carmen. I’ve never really though about it.”

“Well you should start. Now that you’ve shown up out of the blue, I don’t need you getting hauled off to jail or killed.”

“Alright… I’ll think about it…. So what’s up with that Alice girl? Is she uh… seeing anybody?”

“No, but I am not letting you’re crazy ass turn her into some lunatic.”

Shane interrupts with a loud sarcastic laugh, “HA! Carmen, that’s funny. You and I both know Alice is a bonafide psycho so they’re both meant for each oth…”

Carmen cuts her eyes at Shane and she quickly shuts up. An awkward silence fills the room and Jaycee felt it. Shane and Carmen had a million things they wanted to say and ask.

“Well, I’m going to get some breakfast. A Late night of torture always makes me hungry in the morning.” Jaycee says jokingly as she left the office and rejoined the table, sitting next to Alice, leaving Carmen and Shane in Kit’s office alone.

“So your Alice Piezeki, of the Chart on KCRW, Piezeki?

A big smile runs across Alice’s face as she replies, “Yeah, that’s me.”

            “Wow!” Jaycee says with a surprised look on her face.

            “What?”

            “Nothing, its just that most people who work on the radio have radio faces.”

            “What in the world is a radio face?”

            “Its when someone sounds hot on air, but in real life they’re ugly. Luckily for me, that doesn’t apply to you.”

Alice blushes and Jaycee smiles.

            “So what do you do?” Bette asks, interrupting the love connection.

            “Well, I work for a lot of people, usually people in high political areas or something like that. If they have someone who wants to tarnish their reputation, they send me in to negotiate. Since I’m great at my job, they always do as I ask. What is it that you do, Bette?”

Kits Office:

            “Shane, I’m sorry. Id I could go back in time I would and we would be married now and…” Carmen starts to talk but is quickly cut off by Shane.
