   A drowsy Shana stretches her arms above head, and looks foggily at the alarm clock , oh no this can't be,the clock face looking back at her says 4:15pm. Shana rushes to her phone and calls the hospital.Good afternoon, Mc Caskill county hospital. Meg is that you?Yes , Shana how are you? get a good sleep did you.?I guess, I can't believe the  time, I am so sorry, the children's therapy session was to day, I bet matron is up in arms. Actually  dolly, this was her exact orders, do not disturb Shana, we all heard what you and Raya did for for Jake, you girls are heroes, mm is there such a word.Quit clowning this is serious. Shana take a chill pill love, your covered, in fact the kids are loving  a break, besides they want their Shany rested she is famous now. Oh Meg they said that. Yes mam they did,now go get a hot shower, take a walk around town and see if  you can find the stranger who blew into your life, and swam out at the same time one might jest.Mm, he left pretty quick but he knows  how to get in touch if he wants.Alright tell the children I will see them  tomorrow morning..                                                                                                                      

Shower first, so minutes later Shana is standing under a hot shower letting the water caress her soft slightly tanned skin.Her red fiery hair was hanging in wet braids down her back.Shana wasn't an overly  drop dead gorgeous, but she  had very beautiful bone structure,eyes of deep hazel.but change as her dress  appearance. Blue  dress, blue eyes, green dress green eyes, red, any color eye shows up.when the cold water hit her, it shocked Shana from her mental day dream,stepping out off the shower and grabbing her robe,she told herself the stranger is long gone to where ever he came from, actually where did he come from, nobody knew him at all, no one at the cafe  that is.Shana was putting fresh clothes on, and was standing looking out her  kitchen window which faced the little alley way.Three men were standing their, it looked like a real heated discussion ,  and one pushed the other, I heard yelling, and a loud popping noise,by then I  left the window. As I turned back to the window and saw a man lying on the ground.I opened my window and yelled down, hey mister you alright,Mister.No, response,on closing the window I heard the police siren screaming into the alley.I was still standing there when  officer Hillburn jumped out of  his cruiser,he looked up and waved.I opened the window again feeling the cold air hit my warm body, for the second time.Shivering, I asked what? John.You see any thing . Not really, come up when your done down there I had a shower and the damp ran a chill through me.Gotcha, and he saluted and went  on to inspect the body, by now I realized he was dead.As I pulled the curtains closed I saw a  figure  walking slowly towards John, looking  up at me staring.I looked and thought another stranger, but he turned and went back the other way before I got a good look at him..Well we are all wondering where our stranger disappeared to in such a hurry, mystery upon mystery.Just then people started crowding around and John was making then move away, the coroner showed up, he checked the body, and told his orderly's load him up, I will know more John when I get to the morgue.The alley was now empty of people, quiet once more, until the thud on my door.Hi john I said as I welcomed him in to my small but tidy living room.I don't have what knots, or stuffed animals  or an over stuffed couch, it is just plain cozy.Sit down john you look all in. I could say the same about you, heard about you being blown into the cafe with a complete stranger.And saving Jake .Raya helped john she was amazing. You don't have to tell me,I know how my wife is. Still in love hey john,don't deny it, it is written all over your face.So where were you when this was all happening chasing criminals.Very funny, I was at the hospital, I had Cal and some other boys escort Raya with Jake, we new you were there  Jake told us before the ceiling caved.So what did you see young lady?Three men, looked to be having a heated argument,discussion, one man pushed another, as I  turned from the window, I heard a loud popping noise so I went and looked saw this man on the ground I called to him but he didn't answer.Any I.D,as to you he is? We have his personal belongings but we can't disclose  his   name at this point of the investigation.Understand perfectly.Which hospital in Texarkana did they take Jake .Arkla-Tex County. Raya is still there.I will call them later, I am thinking of going to the cafe for a bite to eat later, I left my bag there yesterday in all the confusion.Alright Sha, her pet name by most,I will catch you later and thanks for the info.Not a problem. By the way , did any one happen to see you at the window.?Come to think of it, there was a guy walking to wards you in the alley but he, turned and went back the other way,he did look long at me.Right be careful Sha, there is  certainly  something going on here.That's an understatement, and John you watch your back to, there is something not right in this town.The thoughts were all tangled up in Shana,s head. Was the stranger involved, why was the   other man staring so intently at her in the window.Was that him or was I imagining it .Brr, snap out of it, your going to lose your mind.I think I already have I told my self.
