| Soap Sins Monday, April 23, 2012 CHAPTER 31 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. LINK ONLY! SPIES AMONG US! Previously on SOAP SINS Dakota's red lips gasped as she pointed at the TV. Her phone was already ringing with text messages from Brent, Bill, the jokester and the president of her fan club. "Oh my God," she exclaimed. "THE STUDIO JUST GOT BLOWN UP ...!" The story now continues ... - Dakota was lying on the sofa getting a foot massage courtesy of Nick. She watched the chandelier sway slightly and wondered if it was because of the California wind changing direction or the beginning of an earthquake. - The last few days there had not been much else to do other than obsess over things like chandeliers and pool cleanings and facials, given that the new studio the show was being moved to would not be ready for at least another 2 weeks, Dakota was bored. She had been working non-stop since the tender age of 16, when she'd been discovered at an ice cream parlor ... - The loud ringing of the doorbell made her sit up. Nick went to answer it, assuming it was the latest TV movie script he would be starring in as well as co-producing. It was not. - The African Queen had already swept into the marble foyer when she asked "May I come in?" - Dakota slipped into her gold Prada flipflops and joined Nick as he faced his ex-wife. She forced a smile and invited her in. - The African Queen thanked her and entered the open concept living room. The chandelier stopped moving. - Nick sighed. "If this is about the divorce settlement ..." - The African Queen smiled and Dakota noticed her deep purple lipstick matched the color of her nails, her eyeshadow, as well as the stylish cape she was wearing. "I am here to talk about the studio situation." - Nick decided it would be better to continue the discussion poolside and ushered them all out to the pool deck. They sat in the comfortable reclining chairs. - Dakota offered her some carrot juice. She declined. "About what happened at the studio ..." - "So sorry to hear you were let go," Nick interrupted, attempting to prevent a cat fight between his current and former wives. "A shame you won't be part of the online version of the soap. It's gonna be big." - The African Queen slowly removed her cape. "I was talking about the explosion." - Dakota shook her head. "We were asked not to discuss it with anyone while the FBI investigates." - "I think it was that nutty mobster," mused Nick. "He had one of his people do it after we nailed him." - Dakota pouted. "But the FBI ..." She was not really that concerned about the feds despite what it seemed. The truth was, she was getting a vibe that their guest was up to something. It was the purple lipstick that gave it away. - Nick chuckled. "You're right, sweet thing. Who needs the topic of the mobster who was obsessed with you in our home." He raised his glass of carrot juice. "May he rot in jail forever." - The African Queen suddenly became serious. "Your work was appreciated. The teamwork." - Dakota waved away a tiny butterfly. "It was nothing." - "Oh but it was and that is why I was asked to recruit you both for Operaton Hawaii." - Nick chuckled. "Sounds like the remake of a cheesy retro TV show." - Dakota agreed. - Their guest sighed. "I can see this is not going to be easy so I will get straight to the point. You both know everyone connected to that studio and have demonstrated great sleuthing skills as a team. That is why I was asked to enlist your help. Operation Hawaii is the Interpol operation committed to discovering the identity of a double agent we believe gave the order to blow up the studio. He lives in Waikiki." - Dakota raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow. "You mean you're ...?" - The African Queen stood up. "Interpol, yes. The modeling and acting is my cover. Will you do it and help us get the proof we need?" - Dakota stood up too. Life had just become interesting again. "We have 2 weeks until the new studio is ready and I have to come back for filming." - "Then you are ...?" - "In like Flynn!" Nick grinned, coming to his feet. "Finally something exciting to do again!" - "Excellent. We will have you both flown to Honolulu in the morning, where you will be briefed." - The hot sun emerged from behind some clouds so Dakota put her Gucci sunglasses on with a genuine smile. She had waited tables, danced in questionable establishments, acted, modeled, and lived the glamorous life of a soap star, but she had never been a spy before ...! |
