The following evening, the six Bohemians were gathered at the loft having dinner. Maureen was acting like nothing had happened the night before.
"Okay, so we're going to have a girl's night next Saturday, okay?" Mimi told Maureen and Joanne. Both of them nodded.
"And what about us guys?" Roger asked. Mimi shrugged.
"Go get drunk somewhere, what else? Maybe this time Mark will get laid." Mark turned bright red as everyone laughed. Mimi leaned over and patted the filmmaker's knee.
"Don't get your hopes up," Collins said under his breath. This sent everyone into another fit of laughter. Mark couldn't believe this; everyone was against him.
Once everyone had decided that they wanted real food, it took nearly half an hour to pick a place. Nobody felt like going down to the Life, and they had gotten Chinese last week and Mexican the week before that. Finally, Roger suggested pizza.
"Okay, where's the menu for the pizza place?" asked Joanne.
"In the desk drawer," Mark replied. Nobody got up to get the menu.
"Don't everyone get up at once," Joanne grumbled as she got up. She slid open the desk drawer and began to dig around. Tucked in the far corner was an old photo. Out of curiosity, Joanne pulled it out. "Hey Roger, is this you?" she asked as she showed Roger the photo. Roger stood up.
"Yeah, I was about five," he replied. Mimi stood up and looked over Roger's shoulder.
"Who's that?" she asked as she pointed to a small girl sitting next to Roger in the photo. Roger sighed.
"That's my sister, Renee."
"I didn't know that you have a sister," Collins said.
"Had, I had a sister," Roger corrected firmly. "When I was six and she was four, she was kidnapped when we were at the mall with our Mom." Mimi wrapped her arms around Roger's waist.
"Wait," said Mark. "Let me see that." He had only seen a glimpse of the photo. Joanne handed the photo over. "Your sister looks familiar." Collins snatched the photo out of Mark's hand.
"She looks like…Maureen."
