Chapter 1680 The Queen And The Soldier:>10
- Sandra got up and turned on the light. The bedding was reasonably displaced and her clothes were piled up next to the door. This had to be the WEIRDEST first date she had ever been on. She had engaged in sex, which was unusual for her first time out with someone. Her date was a very intelligent, very attractive woman with some very peculiar habits, huge self-image problems and a tendency to panic blindly when asked direct questions.
- "Maybe I should just cut my losses and run?" she asked of herself, staring towards the bathroom door. "But the sex was fun, and she seems sweet enough." She noticed that Shannon had left her plain cotton underwear in the bedroom. She picked it up and saw that it had the woman's name and the day of the week written in the back. "You've GOT to be kidding?!?" She heard the water stop running, followed by some fumbling. During that time, Shannon's pager started beeping like mad. A still wet, but fully dressed, Shannon rushed out into the main room. She picked up the electronic device while sending an apologetic look at Sandra.
- "Shuh-... shit," she muttered. "Emuh-... emergency. Can I buh-... borrow your phone?" Sandra nodded and Shannon made a call. After less than a minute, Shannon hung up the call and then called a cab. "Suh-... sorry. Duh-... double homicide, and everyone else is out luh-... looking at a buh-... bus crash or on suh-... something else." She could barely meet Sandra's gaze at that point. "Thuh-... thank you fuh-... for a guh-... great evening."
