What's Happening?
Lucy walks down the stairs still dressed in her PJ's. She grabs some juice and sits down at the table. She notices she is alone and sighs, thankful for the peace and quiet.
Annie: (coming down the stairs with Sam and David) Morning Luce, can you put David in his high chair?
Lucy: Sure.
Lucy takes David from her mother and puts him in his high chair.
Lucy: Where is everyone?
Annie: (getting out the boy's breakfast) Simon took Ruthie to the park and your dad already left for work. Matt is at his apartment and we all know where Mary is.
Lucy: Speaking of Mary, I talked to her last night.
Annie: And?
Lucy: (puts her cup in the sink) She's doing OK, getting good grades in her class and doing good at the shelter. She's still confused about the whole Robbie/Wilson thing though.
Annie: I bet.
Lucy heads for the stairs.
Lucy: I'm going to go get dressed; do you need anything from the store?
Annie shakes her head.
Annie: Not that I know of.
Lucy nods and heads up to her attic bedroom. She is getting ready for her shower when the phone rings. She picks it up, wondering who would be calling at nine in the morning.
Lucy: Hello?
Caller: Is this Lucy Camden?
Lucy: Yes! What can I do for you?
Caller: Just be careful today, your life could be in danger.
Lucy: (shouts) Who is this?
Click.
Lucy hears the phone click and then the line goes dead. Lucy shakes her head and finishes getting ready for her shower, forgetting all about the caller.
Annie: (calls up the stairs) Lucy, who was on the phone?
Lucy: (calls back) No body. I'm getting in the shower.
Annie: OK.
Lucy hops in the shower and lets the warm water rush over her body. She thinks about her life and how she's changed, set apart from her family and from her sister Mary. After Lucy gets done with her shower she puts on a pink J Crew tank top and Gap shorts. She goes downstairs to find Matt-doing Laundry.
Matt: Hey!
Lucy: (sits down at the bar) Hi.
Matt looks at her, a curious expression on his face.
Matt: You OK?
Lucy nods.
Lucy: Yeah, I just got this strange phone call.
Matt: (gives her a questioning look) From whom?
Lucy shrugs.
Lucy: I don't know, just someone calling to tell me to be careful today.
Matt: Weird.
Lucy: Totally.
Matt picks up his clothes.
Matt: Got to get to work, see ya later.
Lucy: Bye.
Matt waves and slams the door behind him.
Lucy goes over to the money jar and takes out a few dollars.
Then Annie comes into the room.
Lucy: Mom I'm going to borrow some money, I need some shampoo and some toothpaste.
Annie: Already?
Lucy: Yes.
Annie: OK honey.
Lucy heads for the door.
Lucy: I'll be back soon.
Annie: you can take my car if you want. My cell phone is in there in case of an emergency.
Lucy: Thanks mom.
Annie smiles as she watches her daughter walk out the door.
Lucy gets into the car and heads for the grocery store to get what she needed. When she gets out of the car she sees a guy staring at her and she smiles.
Guy comes over to her.
Guy: Hi, I'm Jake.
Lucy: I'm Lucy Camden.
Jake: Camden huh? I know your dad Lucy gives Jake a questioning look.
Lucy: Do you go to our church?
Jake: No, but he helped me out with some family problems a few months back. My parents were killed in an accident about two years ago so now it's just me and my thirteen-year-old sister Jamie.
Lucy: I'm sorry, about your parents I mean.
Jake: That's OK.
Lucy smiles, Jake has dark hair and brown eyes and the world's most fabulous smile.
Lucy: Well I got to head in so I'll see you around some time.
Jake nods and watches Lucy walk into the store, and then he pulls out a cell phone.
Jake: (Talking on cell phone to another man) I got her, she's in the store now.
Man: Did you call the house this morning?
Jake: Yes. She fell for that whole parent/sister thing.
Man: Keep an eye on her.
Jake: Yes sir.
