Who’s Who
Where we last left our little story off …
Curtis had finished his book Broken.
He had also gone a few rounds with Po-Boy's Publishing,
after finding out they were a subsidiary of BlackSand Publishing …
Which is obviously a subsidiary of BlackSand Industries.
Go Figure …
That dang BlackSand Industries has their thumb in everybody’s pie.
Anyway, Nicholas Riverhawk and Adele Winterly had also been trying to
figure out a way to maybe get their friends Curtis and Carol Anne together.
Seems as though those two might just actually already know each other …
Even if it wasn’t by name.

”Good Morning Carol … Could I interest you in a very fresh brownie
and possibly some buzzberry tea?’
Carol
”That would be perfect Martin …
glad you remembered, and I must be so predictable.
Hey … Let me step around there and take a look,
have you been going to the gym and working out?”

” Whoa there Carol … You might want to step back
because I know you are digging these guns … Whooya!
I’ve been working hard to go from plain old ruggedly handsome
to total chick magnet.
Marcy has been pretending she doesn’t notice,
but I think she’s just playing hard to get.’
Carol Laughs, Adding Encouragement
”Well there Martin, you keep at it and you will be a regular Swarzeneger .
Speaking of Marcy, I assume she’s off today.
It’s kind of busy, but some of the regulars are missing …
Like Mr. Motorcycle Man, he hasn’t been in this morning?
That confounded man and his bike, rolling through town at the crack of dawn.”

”Oh … You mean Curtis … Curtis Stevens.
Nah, he hasn’t been in the last couple of days.
Marcy said he finished his latest book, and he might not be in for a week or so.
Something about a book signing tour in Mapleton, Valleyview and Kirbytown.
I’m sure he’ll be back in when things settle down again.”

Carol
”Wait, hang on there Martin …
So you are telling me that man who usually sits over there at the station by the door …
The man I walk by every now and again when I come in …
The man, who I am almost ashamed to say,
I pray every night someone steals his motorcycle and drives it off in the bay …
Is Curtis Steven …
I mean Curtis Stevens, as in the writer Curtis Stevens?”
Martin
Kind of Puzzled by Carol’s Question
”Well yeah Miss Carol …
His name is Curtis Stevens and he writes books.
What do you mean you don’t like his bike, because I think it’s awesome?”
Weellll now folks … It seems like our two friends Curtis and Carol Anne
may not have actually bumped into to each other yet …
But we may be able to start putting a little one and one together to get two.
Seems as though it’s not entirely unreasonable that Miss Buzzberry Tea and a Brownie …
would not have been someone that would buy whatever was left of Susan’s favorite shampoo
at the corner Grocery Store.
Come on now … Stick with me … This could get interesting.
To Be Continued …
