Chapter 7

Carefully sectioning off a lock of hair, Bree combed it, smoothed it over the tin foil, brushed the solution carefully over it, folded the foil over to cover it, slid it down a little and started on the next section of Sarah’s hair.

The chatter in Bella’s hair salon was lively, her boss and the other hairdresser, Michelle, chatting to their customers as they attended their hair.

The talk was on UFOs and Charlotte’s latest claim that she’d seen numerous lights over Ted’s fields the previous night.

Bella glanced at Bree. “SO?”

“So what?” Bree replied.

“So what do you think?”

“I’m actually thinking nothing right now.” Which was a lie, she was actually thinking about a certain soldier boy and how cute he was. If ruggedly handsome could be labelled ‘cute’, but some of the things he did could certainly be labelled cute.

Such as sitting on the sofa the night before with Sheba perched on the armrest nattering away to him in her shrieking meow. Give the man credit, he barely flinched. Bast had been lying on her back on his lap, getting her belly gently rubbed while she paddled the air in bliss.

Now that was cute. Big, tough, soldier boy entertaining the cats.

“Really?” Sarah interrupted Bree’s thoughts. “But UFOs are your thing.”

Bree smiled at Sarah’s reflection. “Just UFOs? Are you sure?”

“Don’t tell me there’s more in that nutty head of yours.”

“You do realise that your luscious locks are in my hands right now, don’t you?”

“Don’t tell me there’s more in that intelligent head of yours.”

“Nice save,” Michelle said admiringly. “Now, Bree, what about these lights?”

“I wasn’t there, so I can only go by what Charlotte states.”

“Kind of odd that she’s the only one to see things,” Bella observed.

“Well, Ted’s boy, David, and his friend Ken, saw lights and things,” Michelle said. “So it’s not just Charlotte.”

“Two teens and an impressionable woman?” Margie, Bella’s customer, gave a bigger snort than Bella’s. “That’s a good combination right there. Two probably high on dope, the other on her arthritis medication.”

“Ouch.” Bree frowned a little. “Harsh.”

“You’re saying you believe them?” Margie’s brows rose.

“I’m saying I believe they said what they did. I didn’t see the lights last night.”

“But what about Saturday night?” Jan, Michelle’s customer, looked at Bree through the mirror. “And I heard that you and your boyfriend were out there on Sunday poking around with all kinds of electronic equipment, so you must believe them.”

Calmly, Bree sectioned off more of Sarah’s hair and dabbed it with solution. “I saw a light and two laser beams the night before.”

There was astonishment on all five faces watching her.

“Are you serious?” Bella demanded.

“Absolutely.”

“So what did you find?” Sarah asked eagerly. “Were there burn marks and things?”

“Why, Sarah, have you been studying up on spacecraft marking?”

“Google is my library.”

Michelle rolled her eyes. “God help us. Then it must be right.”

“You know…” Bree folded over the tin foil, slid it down, started on another section of hair. “Anyone can put a website up and put anything on it.”

“Are you telling me all those UFO sites are bogus?”

“I’m saying you need to be careful what you believe.
