     The Story The Authors
Sadly, throwing the martinis in their face didn't seem to help. 'What a waste!' Tiki mumbled as she watched them lick their face, while still in a deep, trance like sleep. Zippy
A blue and white van pulled up on the sidewalk next to the fountain. The mean looking woman with the cane alighted followed by two jovial gentleman dressed in white. She surveyed the four scorched women laying about the sidewalk licking their faces. Finally she introduced herself, " Las Vegas is a family-friendly environment. My name is Miss deMeanor and it is my responsibility to see that Las Vegas remains a litter free community." Looking directly at Vashondra, Miss deMeanor continued "I am offering you and your girls a hope at redemption." One of the jovial gentleman had already siddled up to Candace and was feeding her cheese nabs and rubbing her face with an aloe salve. Vashondra could feel the air-conditioning eminating from the open door of the van. "We thankfully accept your offer Miss deMeanor, show us the door to redemption."

TJ and Kwami helped the women into bunk-bed style cots and packed frozen water bottles about their bodies. "This would be heaven,"Tiki thought to herself "if only I had a frozen martini to go with my body."

It is expected that you will conform to their regulations. When you are able to work, it is expected that you will repay your benefactors in kind. I will be leaving you at the next stop.

Vashondra felt relieved, "This wasn't so bad" she thought as she reached into the wilting scorched beehive for the martini shaker. The van crossed the iron gates surrounded by old stone walls of the Home. Sixteen novices in full habits awaited them. Each was bearing a funny looking water bottle with a tube and a battery operated razor. Theresa
