LA Magazine-Alice’s Office
Alice sat twirling her pen in her hair, she was taking the time out to reflect on the past few weeks. Everyone had been MIA since the murder. Bette went to work everyday and returned home everyday to a distant Tina, who seemed to be detached from the real world. Dana had thrown herself into training, neither her nor Alice had even spoken about the wedding since Dana’s confession. Somehow Alice was relieved because of everything that was going on…or maybe she was having second thoughts about marrying Dana. She had spoken to Nylan a couple of days ago and Alice thought she sounded a lot happier then the subject of Shane came up and Nylan immediately shut down. She made up some half ***** reason to hang up with Alice…something was definitely up with that. Shane had totally cut off the whole group and it was worrying Alice because she was sure it had something to do with Ambrosia.
“It’s nice to know you’re being paid just sit here Pieszecki” Alice’s editor’s voice boomed from the doorway and she jumped out of haze. He stepped in and closed the door behind him. “Listen remember that cover story you did on Ambrosia Neil” Alice nodded,”Well I want you to do a follow up…dig around, try to get some inside on the murder”.
“But the murder is still under investigation…the police don’t even have a suspect” Alice retorted. “I’m not an investigative reporter I write top tens” Mark immediately cut off Alice’s ranting.
“Well now you are…look Ambrosia was your cover story you owe it to the readers to do an update on this story” Mark walked to the door and turned before completely walking out,”make me proud”. Alice rolled her eyes, she didn’t want to do this for fear of what she might find. She thought for a minute about where to start before the answer popped into her head…Nylan. Alice grabbed her purse and bolted for the elevator.

Bette and Tina’s House
“Tina” Nylan yelled as she banged on the front door, she had been standing there for fifteen minutes just knocking and hoping Tina would give in and answer the door. “Tina” she yelled once again as felt hopeless and rested her forehead against the door. Nylan was worried about Tina, it was obvious the night of the robbery had shaken her up and she wanted to make sure Tina was okay although Nylan knew she wasn’t.
“Nylan” Tina said smiling widely,”Sorry I was in the shower”. Nylan looked at her strangely, this sure wasn’t the woman Bette had described over the phone, she shut the door behind her as she followed Tina into the living room.
“So how are you” Nylan said rubbing her hands together and sat down beside Tina.
“Did Bette send you over here…Nylan, I’m fine I’m fine…really I’m okay” It seemed to Nylan that Tina was trying to convince herself more than anyone else.
“I’m not even okay Tina so how did you bounce back so fast…we could’ve been killed” Nylan said grabbing Tina by the shoulders and looking her straight in the eyes. They seemed so vacant as she stared back at Nylan.
“Yeah well maybe death would have been easier” Tina screamed as she rose up from the couch. Nylan stared back at Tina shocked by her words, there was once a time when Nylan thought death was the answer. Tina’s yelling shook her memories away as she thought back to six years ago. “What do want Nylan hmmm…to ***** me and make it all better…well to bad because I’ve already been fucked mentally, physically, emotionally”.
“Tina I…” Nylan stood up and tried embracing Tina but she just backed away. Nylan’s phone rang causing her to forget what she was about to say, “Hello Al…I’m kind in the middle of something right now can I…alright fifteen minutes” Nylan hung up and looked at Tina.
“Leave” Tina said calmly and Nylan was hurt by her words but she respected the fact that Tina needed her space right now. She nodded as she turned to walk out closing the door lightly behind her.
*****
“Thanks for coming with me Shane” Kayla said squeezing Shane’s hand firmly as they waited to for Kayla to be seen by her doctor.
“No problem” Shane replied with a smile although it was tearing her up inside that she and Kayla were keeping secrets from Nylan.
“Ms. Perez…the doctor will see you now” the nurse said and Kayla got up from her chair, she looked back at Shane.
“Come on” she said grabbing a reluctant Shane’s hand and dragging her into the doctor’s office.

The Planet
“Hey” Nylan said to Lara who behind the counter and she stopped glancing back at the red head who smiled back at her. She was susprised to see Lara here, in The Planet where she obviously now employed.
“Yeah…I started a week ago” Lara said answering Nylan’s thoughts, neither of the two had spoken to each other since ‘that night’.
“So how have you been” Nylan asked feeling nervous as she spoke to Lara.
“Fine” Lara said glancing at Alice who was waving frantically trying to get Nylan’s attention, “I think Alice is trying to get your attention”. Nylan looked back at Alice and held up her finger. “It’s okay I’ll talk to you later” Lara said patting Nylan on the back before walking away. ‘Great…the lets be friends pat’ she thought but she understood that Lara just wanted to be friends because she felt the same way. Nylan waved to Lara’s back before walking over to Alice.
“What’s up” Nylan said suddenly in a bad mood and Alice sensed it.
“Who ***** in your cornflakes” Alice asked and Nylan glared at back at her, “Okay whatever…listen my editor wants me to do a follow up story on Ambrosia”. Nylan sat back and watched Alice catiously, “He wants me to dig around and I figure what better place to start than…” Alice nodded towards Nylan.
“Me…look I don’t know ***** about Ambrosia’s death” Nylan replied.
“Yeah but I do” Alice whispered leaning forward, “I think”.
“What do you know” Nylan asked afraid of what Alice might say.
“Don’t you think it was odd that your place was robbed the same night Ambrosia was killed” Alice began and Nylan jumped up from her seat.
“Look Al…no offense but I don’t want anything to do with this” she turned to walk away but Alice grabbed her arm.
“I think Shane has something to do with this” the words tumbled from Alice’s mouth before she could stop them, “Sit down…please” Alice whispered and Nylan obliged, “If I know you as well as I think I do…you wanna know exactly what happened that night”.
“Where do we start” Nylan asked.
*****
The Hospital
“Is this you and your partner’s first child, Ms. Perez” the doctor smiled at both Shane and Kayla.
“Oh no I’m not…” Shane began stuttering.
“Can we see the baby” Kayla said to stop Shane’s ranting.
“Sure” the doctor said as sat down between Kayla legs.
“Whoa” Shane said looking back at the unidentified picture on the screen.
“That is the heartbeat” the doctor said pointing to the screen, “and that is its head”.
“Is it a boy or a girl” Shane asked excitedly.
“Well its looks like…” the doctor began.
“No I …we don’t want to know yet” Kayla said silencing the doctor.
****
“I can’t believe I’m doing this” Nylan said to Alice as they strolled through the doors of the hospital.
“Look you want to know as bad as I want to so just wait for me here” Alice replied before walking away. Nylan paced back and forth nervously before finding a seat and taking it. She waited for Alice for what seemed like an eternity before getting up and pacing once again. Nylan glanced up only to see Shane and Kayla coming towards her, oblivious to her prescence. ‘What are they doing here, what do I do hide’ she thought as she hurried to find a spot to hide but she bumped into Alice.
“What the *****…watch it” Alice yelled and Nylan was shushing her, “look I’ve got some vital information” she said holding up a paper never noticing Shane and Kayla as the four of them caught each other’s stare.
“What are you guys doing here” Shane asked trying to mask her nervousness. Kayla looked away unable to keep eye contact with Nylan.
“Nothin’” Alice said hiding the paper behind her back.
“Why are you two here” Nylan asked noticing Kayla who hadn’t looked at her once which was uncharacteristic of Kayla. Kayla felt as though the question was meant for her so she decided to answer Nylan and she sure as ***** wasn’t going to back down, it was time Nylan knew the truth.
“Well…” Kayla began.
