"We'll for one thing I'm a lesbian, so it won't be with me if that's what you want."

"I just came in here to have a beer and enjoy a peaceful hour to drink it in." he said.

"Well, I'll drink to that."

"How are you related to Larry. He seemed like he knew you good?"

"He's a nightmare in my life. I dated him along time ago before I chose to be with women. He just keeps trying to marry me, but I'm not interested. He's a real pain in the ass."

"You live around here?"

"Actually, I live with Larry. Ironic isn't it? I slept with him one-time and now he thinks I owe him the world. He gives me my supply and I lay down with him that's how it works."

"I think I've had enough beer tonight. I have a busy day tomorrow. I'll be here tomorrow night if your dancing."

"Everynight except Tuesday." Kerry smiled with her glossy lips.

Scott got up and left the establishment, as he approached his car a woman came running up to him.

"Excuse me, you don't know me. I just want to give you some advice. Stay away from that bitch Kerry. She's bad news."

"Why?"

"I heard that she had something to do with the murder of that woman that lives off West Shore Drive."

"Sabrina?"

"Yea, how did you know?"

"I read about it in the paper. Horrible wasn't it. A beautiful woman like that murdered and for what. It's a shame."

"She was pregnant from Larry what I heard. You see, Kerry was Sabrina's lover."

Sabrina was married."

"I don't know all of the story about what happened. I'm just tryijng to help you out. If you don't want to end up dead you best stay away from Kerry. That's all I know." The women started to walk away.

"Wait, Scott hollered, I'm a police officer and the information you gave me is important. Can we talk?"

"Prove it to me." she said. Scott opened his wallet and showed her his badge.

"Wow, a real cop at Kitty-Kat. Are you investigating the murder?"

"Yes. Look, let's take a ride and you tell me everything you know about Kerry."

She and Scott took a ride around Big Sur and she rabbled on about what she knew. She agreed to testify that Kerry was Sabrina's lover.

Abruptly, Larry jutted to his feet and pushed Sabrina into the living room glass sliding door hard, the glass broke and Sabrina lay in a pool of blood and glass.

Kerry took the stand and was questioned about her affair with Sabrina. She testified that Larry did push Sabrina hard, but didn't know the glass was going to break. Kerry explained that she didn't commit any murder. She told the jury that Larry cut Stephens throat.
