All the grace of a bull in a china shop, but decidedly less pointy
WHO: Nica OT Chloe
WHEN: Wednesday, February 10
WHERE: LAX to Chloe's house
Nica was barely off the plane before she broke into a run through the terminal, her backpack hanging by one strap, her Jimmy Choos in hand. Not that taking ten minutes rather than twenty to get out of LAX would make much of a difference after sitting on a 757 for six hours, but it was the principle of the thing. Something was VERY wrong and Chloe needed her and she'd been in New York and now ... she was back.
She'd called Vito to find out more, but that was a dead end; her usual next-best-source was in Bali on a book-finding trip and go figure, he was nowhere near a reliable cell phone tower at the moment.
Nica caught a cab, threw money at the driver and ran up the sidewalk, got the key into the deadbolt on the third try and hurried inside, looking around quickly. "CHLOE?" she yelled, loud enough to reverberate through the ground floor. "HEY, YOU HERE?"
