“And I could easily capture it with a Z500 lens” Sam used her index fingers and thumbs in the classic cinematography method and eyed Dawn in the box.  “Perfect” she said.

“Maybe we can a pan the table from end to end, you know to capture the looks of horror and then zero in on her” Jenny said to Sam while keeping her eyes on Dawn.

“I like it” Sam agreed.

“You think you’re so funny” Dawn stood up straight to make her exit.  “You’re going down” she said as she walked out “all of you.”

“Hey, don’t forget to bring The Lover Cindy with you on your next visit” Helena said as Dawn exited the café.

“I miss The Lover Cindy” Dana said before she placed her order.

In the box Mercedes Dawn impatiently waited for the person on the end to pick up the phone.

“Hey I thought you said they weren’t on to you” Dawn yelled confident in the sound proof of her vehicle.  “Those cunts cost me thousands of dollars the other day.  I had to feed those homeless bastards” she recalled seeing city officials across the street not to mention some of the patrons who were cheering the kind gesture.

“Of course they’re not on to me” Adele told her.  “They’re too stupid for that and none of them believe Max anyway.  I’m totally in the clear.  Besides, it’s not like you couldn’t afford sparing a few thousand dollars to throw away with that rich lover of yours.”

“Well don’t go spreading that little known fact around” Dawn warned bitingly.  “They know something” Dawn looked across the street at the café and watched the friends enjoy their brunch.  “They must have planned it” she thought about how they could have gone off Adele’s careful radar.

“That’s impossible” Adele said into her phone “Bette is hardly ever with them and I know she’s their leader.  They never make a move without her knowledge or consent.  She’s like the brains of that whole crew.”  She stated firmly “No, they don’t know shit.”

“I hope you’re right” Dawn focused her gaze on the owner and her friends, “because if not then the plan has gone to shit.”
