"Goliath" had an ear infection and when the doctor suggested a deep cleaning, with sedation, Reece had a fit, snatching her dog off the table and attempting to flee. Cori finally convinced her to allow it, talking to her until the tall woman understood that this was going to make him better. Unable to hand him over, there was a tug-o-war of sorts over the tiny dog, with the doctor winning. Reece stood, menacing, eyes narrowed, arms folded over her chest to emphasize her muscles... daring the doctor to hurt the dog. He filled the syringe, stuck the dog with it and Reece's knees promptly buckled.
Now, Cori was dealing with a horrified Reece, grasping her sleepy dog and racing through the streets with long strides to run away from her. The dancer was getting tired.
"Reece, please, I won't tell anyone I swear! Just slow down will ya?"
"Oh, you know better , besides, I think it was a sudden sprain." Reece said, red faced, reaching down to rub her knee.
Cori snickered, "Yeah, that's what it was."
PART 4
A S SOON AS Reece settled Smudge at home, the doorbell rang. Peeking out the window she saw it was the FedEx guy and, and frowned. She had no desire to be bothered by the FedEx guy.
"It could be her script ya know." Cori said, poking Reece.
"Right." Reece sighed and opened the door.
The delivery guy looked back and forth between both women, then behind them with disappointment. "I'm looking for Faith Ashford?"
Reece took the guy's pen out of his hand. "She's not here. I'll sign for it."
"Oh." The delivery man looked dejected.
Reece glared at him impatiently as he clutched the box close to himself. "Are you gonna give me that or do I have to take it from you?"
"Well, I was kinda hoping... I mean, Faith Ashford lives here?"
Reece growled and snatched the package away. "No, but I do, and you wouldn't want to piss me off, buddy."
Cori snuck around Reece and sneered as best she could. "Yeah, me neither." She made biting gestures at him.
Reece slammed the door and shook her head. "Great that's all I need! Fuck!"
"It's not like you won't see him coming, he is wearing orange and blue."
The club owner glared at the dancer. "Make yourself useful and call Faith. Tell her the script is here, I have to do something."
Cori raised an eyebrow at Reece. "What do you have to do?"
The tall woman scooped up the small dog and cleared her throat. "He's sick." she replied in a quiet voice.
"Reece, you're not going to spoil him any more than he already is, are you?"
"Lick me."
The dancer stuck her tongue out at Reece as she ascended the stairs, then, stared at the box. With her excitement building every second, she shook it, and tried to tear a small hole in the box. Finally, after nosing as much as she could with no luck, she picked up the phone and dialed Faith.
"Hi baby!"
"Well, hello honeylamb."
"Oh, Cor... what's up? Where's Reece?"
"She's too busy doing some irreversible damage to the dog. Your script is here! I wanna open it!"
"It's THERE? For real? How big is it?"
"Yep! I'm holding it in my hot little hands right now! It's pretty heavy. Please let me open it!"
"Cor! Behave. I'm sure you'll be there when I do open it."
"But I wanna be special. Pleeeeeeease?"
Faith laughed. "Oh, alright you big baby, go on and open it. I'm on my way home anyway."
Cori hung up the phone and tore into the box like a kid tearing open candy. It was two big binders full of script. She held it in her hands, pretended to weigh it, smiled and giggled excitedly. Looking around, she saw no sign of Reece and began to peek inside. She shuffled through the first binder, than the second. She blinked a few times after thinking she saw the words naked and bed. She thumbed through that particular section of the script again and came upon what she was looking for. Jessie was naked, in bed with Meredith and from the looks of it, it wasn't the first time. Cori's stomach began to drop until she realized she had no idea what character Faith was playing and
