 LADY ON THE BEACH.....PAGE 2

SALLY BARGED INTO THE CAFE YELLING. "WHERE IS SHE?  WHERE IS LOIS CAPPER?"

SALLY BARE FEET, HAIR LIKE A RAT NEST, DIRTY, SMELLS ABIT

SALLY WALKED OVER TO LOIS

LOIS SITTING IN THE BOOTH, SCOOTING OVER, CLOSER TO THE WALL

"YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!"

THE WAITRESS LORI CAME OUT WITH A PLATE OF PANCAKES

"SALLY, WHAT EVER HAPPENED.  WE CAN FIX IT.  PLEASE SIT DOWN AND TELL

US WHAT LOIS DID NOW"

SALLY LOOKED AT THE PANCAKES AND SAT DOWN

"LOIS CAPPER, THE GREEDY REALTOR WILL DO ANYTHING TO SEE PROPERTY

INCLUDING RENTING OLE MAN PETERSON'S BEACH HOUSE"

SALLY HELD UP A WET, SANDY LACE VEIL, THROWING IT ON LOIS

"WASHED UP ON THE BEACH THIS MORNING, IN FRONT OF PETERSON'S

BEACH. HOUSE.  THE LADY ON THE BEACH IS BACK.  YOU ALL KNOWS WHAT

THAT MEANS.  SOMETING TERRIBLE IS GOING TO HAPPEN THIS SUMMER AND IT

WILL BE LOIS'S FAULT"

THE DINER WENT QUIET

"I AM JUST A REALTOR.  I SELL REAL ESTATE, GET OVER IT"

LOIS SAID

SALLY FINISHED HER PANCAKES AND STOOD UP

"DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU."

SALLY WALKED OUT

NO ONE SAID A WORD, AS THEY ATE MAKING NO EYE CONTACT

THEY ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED 20 YEARS AGO AND NO ONE IS GOING

TO TALK ABOUT IT
