Well... Please tell me what you think!
And Again?
Lydia Butcher clutched the phone to her ear and dialed her uncle's number. 'Uncle Teddy? It's Lydia. Mom and Dad were in an accident and they were killed. I'll arrange to fly to San Fransisco to meet you. See you soon.' She hung up.
Jinny Exstead watched as Theodore Bluementhal hung up the phone and sighed. 'What?' she asked him.
'My sister and her husband were killed in an accident. That was my 14-year-old niece, Lydia. I'm next of kin, so guess what I get from my sister's will?'
Theodore had a case at the DA's office, so he sent Jinny, Magda, and C.D. to get Lydia.
C.D. had asked Jinny, 'Do you know what she looks like?'
Jinny had replied, 'Only that she has brown hair and green eyes. Nothing else.'
Magda had kept reassuring Jinny. 'Don't worry. You'll be fine.'
Lydia paced in front of the vending machine in the airport. She had been waiting for about 10 minutes for Uncle Teddy to show up, but so far all she had seen was a Hispanic woman in her early 30's, and tall blonde also early 30's and a brunette about 5'5" who looked extremely nervous. 'God, I'm thirsty,' she thought, but she didn't have any money with her. The brunette and the Hispanic woman approached her. The brunette spoke. 'We're looking for a Lydia Elisabeth Butcher.'
'That's me.'
'I'm Jinny Exstead and this is Magda Ramirez.'
'Where's my uncle?'
'I'll tell you about in the car.'
Chapter 2
At the station, Theodore couldn't keep still. He kept thinking about Lydia. He hadn't seen her since she was five. And then all of the sudden she calls to tell him that his younger sister was killed? He wasn't sure how to handle it. He didn't have much time to ponder it, either. Because, there, in the doorway, was an exact replica of his sister at 14. 'Lydia,' he said.
'Uncle Teddy!' She ran to him and gave him a hug. 'Why weren't you there at the airport?'
'Well, I had a case. And I wanted you to get accquainted with Jinny. See, we live together. Now, you're adding to the family.'
'Yeah, whatever... Um... can we go home? I want to get my stuff organized and everything.'
'Yeah, sure. Jinny, would you take her?'
Lydia held up her hand. 'No, no! I'll wait for your lunch break, Uncle T.' She sat down in his chair. 'So, what do I do now?'
'Um... you get out of my chair and into my car! I'm on lunch.'
Around midnight, Lydia had just finished putting her clothes away. (She hadn't gotten started until 10.) She sat down on her bed to write in her journal.
'Dear Diary,
I guess I'll get used to it here. It's not at all like home. Uncle T hasn't changed much, but his new roommate? I hate her.'
Jinny came into her room. 'Hey, you. What are you doin' up?'
Lydia wasn't coy. 'I don't know. Maybe I was waiting for you and my uncle to go to sleep so I could sneak out of the window, meet a 30-year-old ma, get high on dope, and have sex all night long.'
Should I finish it?
