Chapter 20
The lady from the agency hung up the phone, with a puzzled expression on her face. Caroline had not called after her after the audition as she had always done so many times before. And the agent who had set it up wasn't available. Where could Caroline have gotten off to? Maybe she took off for Cancun again with her new boyfriend. "Oh well, she'll call me when she wants more work", she thought.
What a strange request, to look at our face book for three weeks before making the selection, and only one actress for the audition, "this must have been a specifically facially positive assignmen, for a program to go to such lengths" she thought.. Caroline was so pretty too, with her long black hair and lovely mediterranean features. "She'll call", she told herself again. She wrote in her calendar to follow up with that agency again in a week, perhaps that woman will be available by then.
Jesica looked up from her monitor, "that bastard" she thought, "playing the victim, while the Carlucci's had cut the dope to only 15%, and baiting those fools with counterfeit money", if this ever gets out Caruso would be dogmeat." She then dragged and dropped the files, photographs and letters into a cache file on her computer, inserted a CD and clicked record. "A little insurance for the already dead" she thought and laughed inside at the complete irony of her circumstance. The lady from the agency will eventually tire of calling and the questions about her whereabouts will subside.
Jesica called the number that she had memorized so long ago, "its time" she said to the recording that answered the phone, knowing that the recipient would recognize her voice and set into motion the plan that had been born on that sailboat under that billion star studded sky so long ago, it seemed like another lifetime. Little did she know then how right she would be.
