CAL’S LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE
Chapter Twelve
Rose and Jack walked into the
local drugstore. "What do you want?" Jack asked.
"A root beer float."
"Sounds good. I think I will
have the same."
"I am going to the magazine rack
to see if there are any new magazines I have not read," Rose said.
Jack nodded and went to the
counter. "Two large root beer floats, please."
"That will be forty cents,
please," the soda jerk replied.
Jack reached into his pocket and
handed the soda jerk forty cents.
Rose found two new magazines,
then went to where Jack was sitting.
"Found any new movie
magazines?" Jack asked.
"Yes, two. Both have Cary
Grant on the cover."
"You’re a fan of Cary
Grant?"
"Yes. He is the best actor
out there."
"There is a Cary Grant movie
playing at the theater. Do you want to go?"
"Yes," Rose replied,
taking a sip of her float.
"Okay," Jack replied,
looking at his watch. "It starts in a half hour."
Rose and Jack hurried and
finished their floats so they could get a good seat.

Cal was about to be discharged
from the hospital.
"So, do you feel up to
seeing a movie?" Lucy asked as they were leaving the hospital.
"Sure," Cal replied.
"Who is the star?"
"Cary Grant."
"Is anyone else going?"
"Yes. Sandy, my maid. She is
already here," Lucy replied as she turned into the parking lot.
"I think someone is
following us," Cal whispered to Lucy.
Lucy turned, and replied,
"Walk faster."
The stalker kept on following
them, writing down notes on a pad of paper.
