Spreading the news

WHO: Nicam tag Katie and whoever else might be around
WHEN: Thursday afternoon
WHERE: Katie and Chester's house

Nica spent her school day talking to Lynn about what had happened at the camping spot, and about the dead man who wasn't dead, and then wouldn't die. She didn't talk about it with anyone else; she hadn't seen Rex or she might have flirted with him again, poor guy. He was nice ... And there was Juice, but she would go see him later and give him all the gory details. Literally, gory details, complete with blood and ichor. She didn't know exactly what ichor was, but if anything she'd ever seen was ichorous, it was poor Stu.

Anyway, it crossed her mind that maybe not everyone she knew and liked in Pleasantdale had heard about what happened. So, on the way home, she stopped off at Katie and Chester's house, hoping that Katie was around. Books clutched firmly in her left hand, she knocked at the front door.

Katherine opened the oven to check on the roast, hmming. "Just a bit more to go, and this should be ready... ... so what are you doing about this, if there are crazy diseased people in the woods? I mean... are the police looking into this, or..."

She was interrupted by Chester, who poked his head in and rather pointedly commented, "Katherine, the table isn't even set yet, and we certainly didn't plan on having guests over for dinner. Whatever girl gossip you need to do can be taken care of during the daytime, can't it?"

Without glancing back, she chided, "Chester, these are friends and neighbors and we are being hospitable, and you'll get what you want later. Just please leave them be, it's been a rough day for them."

"I've had a rough day, and I'm your husband," Chester groused, "and I don't need to listen to women's chatter when I should be enjoying my evening."
