CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

Aubrey got cleaned up from her run, gave Drake a big bowl of food and water, and went out on the porch to wait for Vina. While she was waiting, Matt called to tell her that they couldn’t get a tech free to get out and check her system until early next week. Aubrey wondered what she was supposed to do about the question of Joe’s guilt or innocence in the meantime, but suspected Matt was the wrong person to ask.

She hung up and passed the time by thinking of various personalized plates that would never make it past the DMV. IH8DUNN was the best she had come up with when Vina rolled into her driveway at ten on the nose.

The drive to Morristown took forty minutes and all Vina would talk about was possible themes for the Halloween party.

“Zombies,” Aubrey suggested.

“Too narrow. Besides, we did undead year before last.”

“Superheroes.”

“Lame.”

“Superheroes are lame?”

“They are if you’re a girl. We’d have thirty Wonder Woman knockoffs. She’s the only one with a cool costume.”

“50’s icons.”

“Donna Reed and Elvis? No thanks.”

“I thought you’d already started work on your costume,” Aubrey said. “Shouldn’t you do the theme to match it?”

“I’ve been experimenting with a new kind of foam latex on account of last year my fake abs cracked half way through the party. It’ll work for almost anything though.”

“Favorite foods.”

Vina scoffed. “You tryin’ to be funny?”

“It would be different,” Aubrey told her defensively.

“Try to aim for something a little less PG-13.”

“Favorite X-Files monster.”

“Now that has potential,” Vina told her with a wicked grin. “That man-bat thing was cool.”

“How about circus acts?”

“Lame.”

“You’d have a good mix of costumes. Sideshow freaks and acrobats…”

“I could rent a big top for the back yard,” Vina added, warming to the idea, “and make the caterers dress as clowns.”

“That might be pushing it,” Aubrey pointed out.

“Last year we did a slasher movie theme and they all came as victims. Clowns should be easy enough to talk ‘em into.”
