"19:00, @ the Crow'z Nest!" She said and Hung Up.
Then she put on her other disguise as a prelude to the meeting;
a necessary precaution - bcos she had learnt never to trust anyone ever in her life - a lesson she had learnt the hard way from her ex ....
//[DIG] ab_123 ( Aruna ? ) : it IS a flashback like u thot, i jez meant u cud hv linkd it in someway to the present. a/w i hv edited it now ! //[DIG]
(No probs, Ramky :) )
After a 2 hour drive, she arrived at the Crow's nest. It was a relatively secluded place.
Once she reached there, she started looking out for him no no .. her (him disguised as her) . Another important part of her her plan... In a visible distance she saw "HER" standing..
***Ok, I am going to call the 'wife' character Helen, for ease of narration****
Helen approached Ray cautiously. Ray handed her a folder. She was about to open the folder to see what was in it when....
... when she stopped ... dreading to open the folder and see the compromising photos inside, which could incriminate her irrevocably in the case of the ....
"Wife with nine lives". She strategically flicked the folder at Ray, and grabbed her gun and held it against Ray's temple. "You ARE going to co-operate, right hon?" she asked patronizingly.
What else could Ray do but co-operate ... against this smooth operator ?!
So he took out from his pocket, the keys of the bank locker and handed them over to her.
9:00 am GMT: The bank doors had just opened. Helen's heart was racing, as she walked into the bank.
She was concious of the roving cameras above, watching her every move as she walked upto the teller's counter.
"Locker number 16253407 please", Helen said, handing the key to the teller. "One moment please, " said the teller, as he picked up the phone to make a call...
Alarm bells ! Had the the teller got suspicious and was calling security ? Or was he making a routine check ??
****This is hilarious...Ramky and I are the only people participating :lol: *****
Ok, let's continue.....
She tried not to panic, but when she felt a gun being held tightly against her back, and a voice behind her saying "It's OVER Ms Helen"...
-tried to participate, but after a while it became too complicated to follow the story line :lol:
anyways carry on..
*DIGR*
aruna,are you in SFO?
*End digr*
SS: I am in WI. You can help conclude this tale, and we can start afresh. Next time around, we should stick to the ONE-line rule though. I think that makes it more unpredictable, and makes more people participate.
Ok, I propose that we start a new tale. No point in dragging the previous one (though there were a lot of loose ends). Does anyone second? If so, then, they can start. (Only one sentence).

As she drifted into an eternal oblivion and as her body hit the floor, her limbs got entangled in an advertisement banner hanging nearby. The cloth of the banner fell on the dead body of Helen - draping it like a shroud. The edge of the banner fluttered aside to reveal a single word of the advertisement - FINITO !
[DIG] Aruna & Sandhya : i am ok with starting a new story & have ended this one. either of you can start a new one & we can all try to stick to one sentence each ! [/DIG]
Ramky... :clap: (BTW, nice pic of Maddy...) Nice dramatic ending!
Couple things that I learned from the last tale were:
1. Sudden twists, don't really work...the story doesn't get a chance to develop much, therefore the storyline keeps changing, and is hard to follow/continue. That was my observation.
2. We need to name the characters up front, otherwise, the "she"s and "he"s get mixed up. LOL
***********NEW*******************
Elaine finished buckling up the third child's car seat, and was ready to make her routine grocery run that morning.
It was a beautiful California Spring Morning. The Smell of Freshly cut Grass had mixed in well in the air. The Birds Chirped, and Squirils played with the droplets of Dew on the dry Leaves that had comfortably taken their respective spots on her green lawn. The Sun was out and warm. She took a deep breath and exhaled. It was going to be a good day.
Elaine was about to step into the driver's seat, when she felt a tap on her shoulder.
"You forgot the car keys again Darling !" Jeff said with an indulgent smile, and handed them over to her. "OMG, not again", she thought, "What would she do without Jeff around, to help her like this ?!"
[DIGR] thnx Aruna ! :ty:
As they pulled into the parking lot of Albertson's Grocery store, Elaine noticed something unusual.
Three men in black suits armed with M16 ran out randomly firing into the store!! :o JUST JOKING!! :roll: :P
The Lot was Empty. No one was around. "Oh Lord!" She said as she slowly remembered why. :P
:lol:Quote:

She could either ask the man for help, or just call Jeff on her cellphone...she started dialing 555-, when CRASH!!!!!!!!!
She couldnt believe it!!!!Some one REARENDED her!!!!!Couldnt they see a van like HONDA ODYSSEY???Why the hell didnt people pay more attention she thought as she turned to pacify her babies who were howling having been scared out of their wits at the crash.Thank GOD she thought to bring the bigger car..otherwise they might have been hurt.
"Who's face did I look at before I stepped out of the house today?", she thought, feeling extremely frustrated. :oops: :lol:
Aruna, a decidedly Indian thought :devil:
------------------------------------------------------------
Her anger and frustration evident on her face ,she got out to confront the blind wet noodles for a brain idiot when she had her second shock in the span of 10 mins.
The "handsome" man at the lampost, was in the backseat, holding a gun upto the driver's head!!
(Yes, Sandhya (?), very Tamil movie type dialogue. haha)
:lol:
And the driver was...it couldnt be...it was....JED???Jed her childhood sweetheart...Jed her 1st love..Jed the man who died 10 years back!!!
A lot of memories flashed in her head. "Jed...NO!!!!!!" she screamed, unable to control herself, but it was too late...
(stumped? ok, I'll add one more line...)
Jed had successfully got the gun out of the the other man's hand and now, Jed was the one in control as he asked, "Who are you and what do you want?".
"I want my wife back" said the other man ! Elaine was shocked, more so because Jed didnt react at all !
"Well, then...do you have what I asked for....?!!" asked Jed with a smirk, not realising that Elaine was reaching for the cellphone in her pocket....
I have a perfect situation here, but I don't wanna make this scene a blood bath, since I know most ppl in the thread won't like it. :oops:
"Yep" said the Other man and handed over a plastic cover containing a White colored powder. As Jed took the packet from the other guy, Elaine surreptiously captured the whole transaction using her mobile phone's camera.
Right at that moment, the cell phone started ringing..."Jeff" said the caller id, and to worsen the situation, her littlest one started crying, "Mommy, I wanna go home!!!!"..."My kids have to come first," she thought as she....
... as she pocketed her mobile phone. now she had enough evidence to get herself off the hook. but....
