Girl’s Night Out (his story)”I won’t be too late” she said as she stretched to put on her coat, “I’ll call and tell you what we’re up to”.

“Just be sure to call if you need me to come pick you up, or if you get in any trouble” I quiped.

“I may be a little naughty, but I’ml not planning on getingt into any trouble” she teased.

“Have fun” I said as I kissed her on the way out the door. It was after 7 o’clock - she was running late. As usual, the plan was for the gierls to meet at 8, get dressed and all made up. They had 9 o’clock dinner reservations at a new place in the city.

9:40…. The phone rings “Hi baby, we’ve ordered and are waiting on dinner… some cute young guy at the bar just bought us a round of drinks. Only Marty, Rachel, and Cindy could make it tonight… Ed came along to drive and keep us out of too much trouble. I think we’ll tease the guys here awhile, eat, go dancing and mabe head to the casino.”

11:30…”Hi sweety”….”We are all a little drunk!”….”Havin fun with the girls!”…..
1:30… “We stopped to dance at Eclipse …no I’m not too drunk, any way they just announced last call. We will probably head home in a bit.”
3:15… “Hey baby.. I guess I’ve had way too much to drink to drive home… come get me… I’m at Marty’s house” click.

I thought….. almost an hour drive to Ed and Marty’s house. I quickly got dressed and on the road.

3:45… I called her cell phone but got no answer.

It was 4:10 as I pulled into the driveway…. I couldn’t see any lights on in the house. After not getting an answer at the frot door, I went to the back door… no answer there either. Back at the front door, I called Connie’s cell…five rings, answer but no voice, and a hang-up. I waited a few minutes and called again…five rings and an answer “Hey bably are your on your way?…I’ve had too much to drive - giggle giggle” I replied that I was at the front door and the phone immediately clicked off.
