Ch 20

Coreen was at the apartment having come home for her lunch.

'How did it go?' She asked making a sandwich in the kitchen.

'Good, I'm meeting up with her tomorrow to talk out the details.'

'That's good. Get it taken care of so you can relax.' Silence fell between the two as Coreen waited for Kerrie to say something almost expecting some news.

'I'm going out to dinner with Mike.' Kerrie said quickly as Coreen's face broke into a grin.

'That's good. Did he ask you?'

'Yes.'

'Good, I'm happy for you two.' Coreen finished her sandwich and got ready to go back to work.

'Want me to go with you?'

'If you want to, there isn't much going on today.'

'Let me grab a book so I can study.' Coreen rolled her eyes as she slipped on her coat.

'How do you do it? I hated school it was so boring.'

'You didn't have the right major then. Once you find the right major then you'd be interested.' The girls headed back to Vicki's office stopped on the way at a store to get some snacks and drinks.

When they got back to Vicki's office she was talking to a woman about her missing boyfriend, the woman knew Henry and he had spent her over the previous night after he went missing. Vicki looked like her patience was waning.

'Coreen, can you get Maya's information? We'll see you at the opening tonight and we'll ask around then.' Vicki seemed relieved to have the blonde woman out of her office. Coreen took down her info then went back to logging information into the computer while Kerrie sat in the other chair and worked on reading her book for school.

At five Vicki and Coreen started closing up. They were planning to meet at the gallery at 8. Kerrie and Coreen got back to her apartment at 5:30 and Coreen pushed Kerrie in the direction of the bathroom.

'Go get ready.' Kerrie went to take a shower even though she had already taken one that morning. An hour later Kerrie was ready and she was sitting on Coreen's bed watching her do her eye make-up.

'I hope there are some cute artists at the gallery.' Coreen said smirking. Kerrie looked down at her hands, she had a bad feeling.

'Be careful tonight.' Kerrie said looking up. Coreen turned quickly and looked at her friend.

'What's the matter?'

'I have a bad feeling about tonight.'

'I'll be fine. Vicki and Henry will be there.'

'I'm serious, Coreen. Something really bad is going to happen. Please be careful, something evil is in that gallery.'
