"I've got to save Karen tonight!" Tru said, as she got up and put on her white tank top, but then remembered that Karen had spilled grape juice on it. She grabbed a black shirt, instead.
Suddenly, she had a plan! "I know! Since Karen won't be able to make a grape juice stain on my shirt, I won't be running to the bathroom. I can wait until Karen goes to the bathroom, then go with her. No, maybe I should follow her. Nah, I'll just go with her. Hmm..." Tru thought about the rest of her plan. "This one may be easier than I thought."
Tru got on her cell phone and called Davis at the morgue.
"Davis, I need the day off today." Tru sounded urgent.
"But...Oh. Is this a do over day?"
"Yeah. Karen, Luke's sister, flies in tonight, and she's going to cut herself with a knife that she took from her parents-"
"Slow down, Tru," Davis said.
"Ok. Anyway, I need the day off."
"Ok. Tell me what happens. Oh, two teenagers last night-"
"I already know." Tru stated.
"Oh, right. Do over day. I forgot."
"I have to go! Bye!" Tru said abruptly, suddenly having a thought come into her head. She didn't even wait for Davis to say by when she hung up, then dialed Harrison's number.
"Harry! Boy am I glad to talk to you." Tru said when Harrison picked up.
"Hey, Tru, it's like, eight in the morning." Harrison's groggy voice announced.
"Oh, sorry. Anyway, it's a do over day today."
"Oh really?" Harrison suddenly sounded awake. "Who's the victim? It's not me, is it?"
"No, it's Karen, Luke's sister."
"Ouch. Sound's like you better save her."
"Yeah, and I'm gonna need your help to do it."
"My help?" Harrison said bewildered. It was only the second time Tru had ever asked him for help on a do over day.
"Yes. Are you still
planning on going to Yale Street Restaurant tonight?"
"Uh,
yeah. How did you know that? Oh, wait, let me guess, you went there
last night, uh, I mean, tonight and saw me there. Was I with a hot
girl?"
"Yeah, who is she anyway?"
"Uh, I can't remember her name."
Tru sighed. "Can you cancel your date tonight, please?" Harrison made complaining noises. "I'm gonna need your full attention, and I don't want that girl to be there, because, knowing you, you'd be too distracted by her to help me."
Harrison sighed, defeated. "Ok," he said reluctantly. "You owe me, though."
"Whatever. So here's the plan..." Tru told Harrison her plan.
"Ok, sounds simple. What time do I have to be there?" Harrison asked, feeling proud that he was able to help save someone's life.
"Be here at 6:45. I'm sure by then that I would have convinced Luke to let you go with us."
