“Definitely not one of the regulars” Sam agreed.

“I could go in” Jaime volunteered.  “They don’t know me.”

“Yeah” Tasha was hesitant “but there’s a certain type of woman they’re looking for.”

“What?”  Jaime wanted to know the reason they would reject her.

“You just seem a little too goody-goody” Tasha shrugged.

“Yeah” Tina agreed “I mean you’re beautiful, very exotic but California exotic.”

“There’s a Miami theme to the bar” Sam recalled her one visit before they started shooting.

“Papi” Tasha suggested with a smile.

“Too butch” Helena disagreed feeling uncomfortable with the idea.

“Just because she topped you doesn’t make her a butch” Alice brought up.

“Alice” Helena exclaimed in horror as everyone else tried to get back into the subject matter.

“Okay losing focus ladies” Tasha reminded.

“I agree with Hels” Kit jumped in “Papi?”

“She’ll make a great bartender instead of a waitress” Carmen pointed out.

“She’ll fit in real fast” Alice added.

“Great” Helena didn’t sound sure about this plan “this is going to be interesting.”

After their meeting adjourned Alice pulled Tina into the kitchen to speak privately while Kit saw everyone else out the door.

“Hey I need to ask you something about Adele” Alice started.

“What about her?”  Tina waved goodbye as Carmen and Sam walked out.  Alice told her about what she had seen and heard that night.

“Wow” Tina looked sternly at Alice “that sound like a phone conversation between you and your mother.”

“Doesn’t it?”  Alice agreed “but the thing is she told Max that her mom was like locked up in some insane asylum and her dad was a traveling salesman.  Of course Shane and Jenny have their own versions of Adele’s story which is like forever changing.”

“Okay she’s lying” Tina reasoned “what if she’s just hiding something from her past that she’s ashamed of?”

“True” Alice nodded “but my gut tells me there’s something fishy about her, and for the second time I am inclined to agree with Max.  Damn he’s really getting on my nerves.”

“Maybe you’ll take his podcasts a little more seriously” Tina mocked.

“Whatever, the LGBT bigwigs already tore me a new one thank you” Alice said bitingly.

“You deserved it for being a bitch to Max” Tina dished back.

“You deserved it for being a bitch to Max” Alice sounded like a mouse who just got kneed in the groin.  “That’s how you sound” she teased Tina.

“Whatever” Tina laughed “so what are you going to do about your hunch?”

“Believe it of not” Alice shook her disbelief on what was about to say “I’m going to keep it to myself, aside from you of course, until something develops.”  Tina responded by carefully looking at her as if she were checking for blemishes.

“Seriously” Tina chuckled “what are you going to do?”
