It had rained before dawn on that particular Wednesday in December of 1986, but by nine o'clock sunshine spread like warm butter through the green, landscape folds of the overpriced Beverly Hills canyon. A woman stood at a bedroom window, gazing at the sunlit morning. Even unadorned with her black mane of hair pulled austerely back , a peignoir hiding here apparently felicitous curves, she was lovely. For a moment she closed her eyes and here thoughtful expression altered to one of haunted dread. Then she shrugged as if reminding here self of a task, and move briskly to a long, narrow dressing room. Behind a professional, strew of cosmetics, the front section of the Los Angels Times was folded and was propped to show a photograph of her. With her artfully tousled head throw back and her lipsticked mouth open in a breathless smile, her image on black and white newsprint appeared far tougher,that of an aggressively sensual woman.

"It wasn't in the trades'" PD said "I knew," Barry said. When did the lady ever put in an appearance on time- or keep a commitment? Beth and Barry jerked, twin brothers and sisters acknowledging in the single unguarded motion that whatever cause their umbilical cords to be untangled, they still shared memories of one secret time, sweet for both, when Alyssia had followed through on her promise. During her lengthy, patient application of makeup, she kept tilting her head, listening for sounds that by here expression she anticipated with fear. What's keeping her?
