2410 April 3 Alisa stared at the paper in disbelief. The headlines read, Landmark Bar destroyed in bombing. The story went on to say that the man responsible was the brother of Otis who had been shot dead by police while trying to abduct his girlfriend. The girlfriend being the target for revenge in the bombing lived above the bar. The same source of the information being a detective March. Detective March was also quoted as saying that an arrest was eminent. Alisa picked up the phone and called Justine.
Justine talked briefly with Alisa and then Frankie letting them know she was fine.
Actually she was scared to death and had no place to live, again. The police wanted to put her in jail to keep her safe. Denzel Jr. said she wasn't going . They had done nothing to protect her even though she'd received a death threat. The police were a day late! Now his place was in ruins and it was just by luck that they were alive!
She had felt safe,laying next to him on the sofa just a few short hours ago. Safe enough to fall asleep. Denzel Jr. was right about her drinking, she had to cut back. If she hadn't been so out of it maybe the bar could have been saved. Her reactions had been so slow and her brain so dulled that she would surely be dead now if not for Denzel. She could lose her job if she wasn't careful her reputation needed to be guarded. Maybe they would adjust their PR and shade her reputation just slightly. Sooner or later someone would recognize her and this story would become bigger news.
Where would she live now and what would Denz do? She need not have worried about Denzel Jr., he always landed on his feet.

2410 June Justine had managed to cut down the amount of alcohol she consumed to 3 drinks a day, sometimes less. It was a miracle that Denzel and Justine were still alive. She had been there last night, when there were at least a dozen people attending a party Justine was giving.(Alisa speaking)
