car, thankful for the ever-practical
Hide-A-Key box under the wheel well. She had to get home, back to her
world, to put her life back into the order she had worked so hard to
achieve. But when she slipped into the front seat, then finally managed
to get the key in the ignition, she had the fleeting thought that her
perfectly ordered world had just changed for good, and that she would
never be the same again. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried to call you both but your lines are going directly to voice
mail. Which means you're online. When are you going to get second lines
or DSL?!!! But first things first! Can we meet at Danny's Cuppa Joe for
a breakfast confab before our 10 o'clock appointment? It's an
emergency, plus I'm starving.

Chloe,
darling, I've never heard of you calling an emergency confab. I've just
gotten out of the shower. I can be there in an hour. Can you give us a
hint?
Also, before I forget: At our meeting with Trey Tanner, let me do
the talking.

Hopefully you'll fill us in about last night's party. It's all the buzz
that some man was caught
in a compromising position in the women's bathroom. How is it possible
that the one party I miss turns out to be the party of the year?

And
what is this about ladies' rooms with men in them? And Julia, who
exactly is this Trey
Tanner? Why haven't you mentioned any of this before
yesterday's e-mail?

I'm
wondering the same thing. You've never mentioned getting an outside
analysis done of the station. Though thankfully you didn't go to
someone like that cutthroat, prehistoric warrior-type Sterling Prescott
from Prescott Media, who is notorious for gobbling up small stations at
outrageously low prices. You didn't, did you, Julia?

If
I'm going to be at Danny's in an hour, I've got to dash. Just rest
assured that in all my phone
calls and e-mails with Trey Tanner, he was nothing but kind and helpful.

And what Is this about warriors? You've been watching Mel Gibson again,
