Chapter One
Spring St. John was tired. It was Saturday night and due to neglect of her chores during the week, she has a busy day catching up. A Healthy Choice frozen dinner was placed into the microwave, and then her aching feet were plopped on the coffee table. Believing the television did not have too much to offer, since it was spring re-runs, she reluctantly picked up the remote control and surfaced the tube anyway. Her DVD player was now a dinosaur and she didn’t want to spend money for a box to record movies. Her only choice for the moment was news as she waited for her meal to cook.
Half-heartedly, she listened with her eyes closed. When the micro informed her that dinner was ready, by peeping like a truck backing up; it was most annoying. Pouring a cranberry drink, Spring then carried her meal into the living room as the newscaster was saying something about Bentley’s Diamond Exchange. Seems it had been robbed of over a million dollars in gems.
The young newscaster droned on and on, on the cleverness of a young woman who had feigned to be in labor and doubled over pretending to be in pain. One of the salesmen rushed to her side and helped her into the back room. There she pulled, what he claimed to be the biggest gun he had ever seen, from under her skirt. The clerk was rewarded for his kindness with a knot on his skull. But, according to the police, the sore-headed man was able to give a good description of his assailant. For all her cleverness, she was not too smart because before his lights went out, she removed the wig and dark glasses. Spring nearly choked on her chicken the moment the police artist rendering appeared on the screen.
Damn! It was the spitting image of her face staring back at her. Every detail, down to her height of five feet seven inches and her weight, give or take a few pounds.
Although, the picture was in black and white, the voice over the television told the world the hair color was carrot red and her eyes were icy green. Even the mole on her right upper lip was not forgotten.
She felt fear clamp on her innards like a vise.
Needless to say, she lost her appetite.
How many people know me?
Too many, she tried to gather her wits.
Spring owned an advertising agency and had many clients. She was well known about town. Sweat caused beads of perspiration to pop from her forehead and the hairs on her neck to stand tall, like soldiers coming to attention. Her mind was in a panic.
How long before the police will come for me? What will I do? What will I say?
Oh, officer, there must be some mistake; I was downtown shopping all afternoon.
But, she couldn’t prove where she had been. And no one who knew her saw her. She vented a sigh. Spring sat back rubbing her temples, dreading the headache that would develop from the tension. A knock on the door left her with no more time to ponder on her predicament. Although, she expected the dreaded knock, she still jumped as if someone had goosed her.
The police?
No, it couldn’t be, she didn’t buzz them in. Her gazed darted around the room and she had no idea what she was looking for. Maybe she just wanted to see her lovely home for the last time. Her eyes misted as they scanned her modern, little nest, which was decorated mostly white, with splashes of yellow. Plain, not crowded with nick-knacks, almost too spacious and cold, but it was to her liking. There was just a touch of nostalgia with an old rocker from her Aunt Blanche sitting in the corner. Swallowing, she couldn’t even produce enough saliva to spit and she croaked, Just a minute.
She composed herself somewhat by rubbing her sweaty palms on the side of her jeans. Squinting out of the peep-hole, she sighed with a well needed breath of relief. It was her friend, Nicky Grey. The pretty brunette’s big almond shaped eyes were open wide and blinking rapidly.
Spring opened the door noticing her friend’s complexion looked as white as winter’s moon. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Nicky had seen the news. The pale girl flew into the room, eyes wide, full of questions and disbelief.
I saw, it’s not me,
Spring quickly confessed trying to force some calm into her voice.
My God! It c-could be your t-twin!
