ALICE:  You cant possibly be knowing what I am thinking. Did you come back here to kick Shaney’s ass?

KIT:  I hope not. I know she fucked up, but dang give the girl some kind of break.

CARMEN:  (Holding hands up in surrending position)  WAIT!!!! Nooo, Im not trying to hurt Shane. I just want to talk to her.

ALICE:  Are you sure, Carmen?  Because last time as I can recall, you said some pretty brutal stuff.

CARMEN:  (Sadly)  I know, thats why I want to talk to her.

KIT:  Babygirl, may I ask you a question?

CARMEN:  Sure, Kit.

KIT:   When did you get back in town?

CARMEN:   Ummmm about 45 minutes ago.

ALICE:  45 minutes ago?   Is your mom sick?

CARMEN:   Nope, she doing quite well actually.

ALICE:  (Scratching her head)  Your mom is okay. Why are you back?  Is this visit just to check on your mother?

CARMEN:  (Sighing)  Yes and no, Alice. I also need to talk to Shane.

KIT:  Well baby, we havent seen Shane much since you left.

CARMEN:  Why? Did she leave?

ALICE:  No shes still here, but Tina’s the only one who talked to her. After you two’s little episode, she has been non-existant.

CARMEN:  (Tears in her eyes)  I need to find her. Kit, do you have Tina’s number or could you call her for me?

KIT:  Hold on, here comes Tina right now.

TINA:  (Waving)  Hey everyone…Kit, I need a salad to go please. Carmen, when did you get back in town. (Hugging Carmen)

ALICE:  About 1 hour ago.

CARMEN:  Tina, can I talk to you in private?

TINA:  Sure Carmen, lets use Kit’s office.

Tina and Carmen goes inside kits office and sits down.

TINA:  Whats the matter, Carmen?

CARMEN:  Tina, I need to find Shane and talk to her. Everyone said you are the only person who has spoen to her.

TINA:  Yes, that will be correct. She wont be back until later, though.

CARMEN:  (Sadly)  I feel bad about the party. I didnt men to lash out at her. My psychiatrist said I need to resolve things with, Shane. Thats why Im here, Tina.
