Alleshia entered the shop first with keys in hand to the salon shuttle which was the black on even more black Range Rover parked in the business space designated outside. A click of plastic and metal connecting to a hard surface echoed briefly before the recessed lighting came to life overhead. A sigh came with the owner of the business as she peeled the appointment book from the counter while passing by.

“I do hope we aren’t double booked today. I have jet lag and want to make it home at a decent time.” Crisp pages flipped until the glow of a computer screen signaled that a more modern record keeping source was available. “No later than sunrise for me. If you need a break before that let me know. I will need you to cover things with the day clients. Oh! Did Lyonel stop over and fix the dryer? I was contacted Ms. Carpuchi’s lawyer. Her burns aren’t permanent but will require several weeks of treatment.” Jolie Sweet tapped her flawless manicure on the keyboard as her gaze pinned on Alleshia as the woman pulled her multicolored tresses into a messy but stylish bun. “Why she put her iPhone into the dryer with a towel and set it on high is beyond me.”
“That was my fault. I told her the best way to thaw out her phone was to treat it like laundry.” The lead stylist shrugged and selected an apron from the row of many and slid it over her head. “How was I to know on her break from doing the floors she was going to put it in the towel dryer?”

The rattle of shears being pulled from the sanitizer container distracted Jolie from the full schedule in front of her. The admission of suggestion given to a moderately aging cleaning woman with a charred ear also had her attention.

“I will say it was a shock to all of us when it exploded in her hand.” A point of sharp silver in her direction had Jolie’s dark shapely brow rising in interest. “And that is why my quick thinking saved her face. I had that fire extinguisher in full ghostbuster mode covering her before this place went up like St. Elmo’s fire.”

Jolie’s face scrunched up while she mouthed the what thecalling out in her head. The offending phone cooked a face when exploding not started a fire. Briefly the visual of Ms. Carpuchi getting blasted by the sudden spray of the salon fire extinguisher came to mind as well as the predictable excitement across Alleshia’s face. She had been waiting for a year to use the damn thing since they started routine fire safety training with the Harper Rock department.

“Isn’t that a movie from the dark ages?” Jolie shook her head and with it went the chocolate ringlets that bounced on her back and shoulders. “You need to update your list a couple decades.”
“Actually before that movie it was scientific.” The sharp stainless steel shears were waving in her direction once more. “Look that up, sweetheart. You need to get with it.”

The beep of the front door alert went off. Jolie pushed away from the surface below her releasing her cinnamon undertone fingers to prepare to greet the first of several clients scheduled to walk through the door. A glance at the wall clock clued her in to the eleventh hour of the quickly fading Tuesday. Soon it would be Wednesday.

Jennifer walked slowly back to the reading room located in ‘The Eye of Zodiac’. It was strange. The client had left almost 15 minutes ago, but there was no sign of the mystic. She knocked on the door before opening and discovered the girl leaning back in the ‘throne’ with her eyes shut as if asleep. “Everything okay?”

”Ah, the world sucks beef jerkeys.” came a tired reply in her head. Zodiac opened her eyes and blinked a few times. ”Sorry, I am just feeling in a bit of a rut right now.”

Jenn nodded. With all that had been going on as of late and to suddenly have everything come to a screeching halt as it had-only to be followed by nothing but ordinary, she could see it. “Well, I might have something to cheer you up, dear.”

”What? Someone’s head needs to be caved in?” Zo laughed softly.

“No, not that fun. However, one of your favorite people is back in town today and should be expecting to see you.”

”Really? Why and who is that?”

“Because I made an appointment for you, silly.” Jennifer dropped the note on the reading table. “Jolie is back.”

”Back? I didn’t even know she was gone. Gods, I am getting bad. Where did she go?”

“If I heard right, she was in Europe. Upgrading her skills and such.”

”Good for her. Get out of this **** hole for awhile. And you made me an appointment? Why? Saying I am looking shabby or something?”

“Oh stop. You know you love a good spa day, and even though you may go to various places for the steam rooms, massage, having your claws done and such, Jolie is the only one you let near your hair. Besides, you need to get out of this funk you are stuck in.’

Can I help it I want someone who listens to me when it comes to the fate of my hair? Besides, she is a sweety. I enjoy talking with her as she works. Doesn’t matter to her if I have fangs, She treats me like anyone else.”

“Probably because you act like a rational person and not look at her as if she was a snack cake.” Jennifer laughed.

Zodiac laughed as well as she checked the clock. It was nearly 90 minutes till she was due for the appointment. ”Speaking of snack cakes, if you would I need you to do me a favor.”

********

Fifteen minutes later, Jennifer entered the salon holding a festive decorated basket in her hands. Inside it were chocolates, treats, incents, teas ready to be brewed, a couple charms for prosperity and luck, and a card that read…

Hope Europe was fun and relaxing
as well as educational.
See you soon.

She looked around till she made eye contact with the owner. “Hey, butcher girl!” she laughed and held up the basket. “I come bearing gifts from a fan.”
Some day I'm gonna be happy. I don't know when just now
