The party was in full swing. I worked my way through the crowd talking to neighbors I seldom saw any more. Some of my friends were there, either home ...rom school as I was, or working in the city and back in the neighborhood to see old faces. I did visit with Simon and Julie, who stopped for a short but pleasant conversation.I was in the back yard talking with a group of four when I saw Amanda working her way through the crowd, playing hostess as she talked to her guests. She watched me. Bobbie dove in at a location where she knew her blood would drift towards the shark and reach him after passing a coral head.Sure enough, when it did, the great beast sensed it and began to move slowly towards the blood's source. When he passed the coral head, though, Tom was hidden behind it, waiting. A slash with his great knife and the huge fish was dead. This one was smaller than Marie's — only 1,250 to 1,500 pounds.The episode of the shark was not yet over. After skinning it and cutting. She told me her boss asked her if she can be deployed to Jamaica, for her slave ship and she said, yes!”After 3 months, she called me again. “I will be coming home for a week.”“I will come and pick you up.”“No, Fernando is coming to pick me up.”I got desperate by that, after 5 months Fernando gets to see her.“I will come directly to our home.”The home was not in good condition after she left. So, I, Gayle, and Kim discussed and decided she could stay in their home. Kim asked Fernando to bring. Meantime, Danielle was helping Kelly, filing and tidying up. In between phone calls I was showing Kelly my job. She was interested in booking the jobs in for the studio and the logistics of making every thing run smooth for John and the girls downstairs. Another couple of weeks I would be redundant. The thought intrigued me.The next phone call was from Rhonda, "we have to talk" was her opening line, no hello."Shoot." New York were so impressed with that photo, they want to use it globally for.
