Sassy was in a panic. She had spent most of the afternoon at the mall fixing Becca a Cheer-up! package – a few CDs, the Dirty Dancing Special Anniversary Edition DVD , plenty of chocolate, etc. – and when she finally got home Becca had vanished without a trace!

She must have been kidnapped! Sassy decided, preferring it to the alternative: that Becca had ditched their plans to hang out with someone else.

When she scoured Becca’s bed she found a note from Jameson and her jaw dropped. “Who is this Old Bess and why was Becca doing body shots with her?” Sassy said to herself, ignoring the bit about Jameson being in love with Becca. “I better get to the bottom of this.”

Sassy grabbed her keys and jumped into her Ford Mustang, putting the pedal to the metal. She visited every bar in town inquiring about a blonde bombshell named Becca and some sordid character named Old Bess.

Sassy walked into the Houdini Bar.

“Anything I can help you with?” Old Bess asked, thinking, She looks like trouble.
