Calls

Clint grins and throws an arm around Wendy’s shoulders to drag her towards the door. “Alright, you grease monkey, you…come on.”

Becky looks down for a moment, then back up to Rosetta. “No…we’ll wait for tonight, if it’s all the same. No need to repeat things to the others.” She forces a smile. “Jim and I just made some decisions we need to share, that’s all.” She turns to go. “I’ll let Rosalynn know that we’ll be going. We’ll meet you later in the mess hall before leaving.”


Con flips his phone shut and puts it back on his belt, smiling to himself. He sighs with content, knowing Katie is safe.


Laura smiles as she realizes Katie has called Con, and she waits patiently for her. She nods when Katie is ready, and heads to the door. “Con’s a great guy, isn’t he?” She holds the elevator door for her, heading back upstairs. “Oh, I’ve got a key for Scott’s car, so we’re good to go.”
Once in the parking lot, Laura’s cell phone rings. She rolls her eyes, taking it out of her purse as they walk. “Yeah, hello? Yes, this is Laura Gibbs. Uh-huh. Yeah, that’s fine. Go for it. Alright, talk to you later.” Stuffing the phone back in her purse, she shakes her head. “You’d think some people would be grown up enough not to need me to make all their decisions for them.” She chuckles, and opens Scott’s car, helping get Katie’s bags out.
Once they’re put into her own car’s trunk, they’re on their way. “Okay, you said you wanted to go to the mall, right?”
