"I don't think this is going to work," Shelley announced.
The two women were sitting at one of the small tables that
bordered the dance floor of the Raven.  The room itself was
almost completely dark except for the flashing colored lights
that played over the dancers.  The alternating colors were
clearly intended to add atmosphere, however, they were also
beginning to give her a headache.

"What did you say?"

"I SAID I DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING TO WORK," she shouted,
struggling to be heard over the loud music. The stabbing
pain behind her eyes was becoming unbearable and she seriously
wondered how they would be able to see the results of the
Vitamin U test, if they attempted it under these conditions.

"I AGREE," Arletta replied, "LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GET THE
FOOD AS TAKE-OUT."

Back at the van Shelley surveyed the assorted ill-wrapped
items, "I guess they're not used to people taking their
sandwiches and appetizers home."

"Sure looks that way.  Is your headache better?"

"Yes much.  I just had to get away from that loud music
and the flashing lights.

"Then you won't mind making another stop on our way back
to CERK?"

"Where?"

"As long as we're going to be testing food we've brought
back there, we might as well pick up some more ... er ...
at Taco Bell."

Shelley just gave her a dirty look.
