"Wolfden Bar and Grill" Soap Part 3

Welcome to the third part of "Wolfden Bar and Grill" Soap. For those who don’t know, this is a soap opera started by bloggers (wolfbaby) and played by bloggers. You can read part one here and part two here.

Part two ended with a mysterious person dressed in black lurking in the parking lot. It turns out it was Dr. A and he was up to no good and just waiting for a victim. Little did Laundress know what she was in for when she stepped outside.

Part three:

Now that Cathy was safe in the ambulance with Dr. Rob at her side, providing her with much needed comfort and support, things could start to settle down at the Wolfden Bar and Grill or would they? There had been some undertones that it wasn't really Cathy that was taken away in the ambulance but rather her estranged twin sister...but if that was the case...then where was Cathy?

Mysti was leaning up against the bar swaying to the gentle tunes that Jungle Tart was playing on her clarinet. Mysti would have loved to danced but her beloved Dr. A was no where to be found. Heather walked up to Mysti and put her arm around her in a friendly manner and said " so where's lover boy?" "I'm not sure" Mysti replies in a sheepish fashion. "I was told he was here...or was going to be here...but I haven't seen him". "It's alright honey...let's you and I go find some fun without him...poor sucker doesn't know what he is missing" Mysti smiled and lower her head.

Meanwhile, over in the library section of the grill, Heather, Willow tree and Susan were all discussing Susan's latest children's television script. Susan was asking them for their input and telling them about a the story line she was working on. "Well if you ask me, I think kids are a little spoilt these days and you should write about something that gives them a life's lesson" said Willow tree in her very Aussie like manner. " I'm not sure that's a good way to look at things" says Heather " there should be balance" " What do you think Susan?" both Willow and Heather looking questionably at her...Susan just shrugs her shoulders and takes another sip of her chardonnay.

Pamela and Karmyn were having a wonderful time just catching up on things and chatting about everything from birds, gardening, painting to writing science fiction novels, when JP and Patient Anonymous joined in. Patient Anonymous was saying how much she loved reading anything on medical blogs and with that JP jumped in and said "Anyone know where Dr. A is?" Difficult Patient piped up and said "well I thought I saw him out in the parking lot...but I could be mistaken as I was kinda preoccupied chatting with Fallen Angels about neurology and behavioural science stuff"

Just at that moment Pearls and Dreams was coming out of the washroom and looking around the room for Laundress. "Has anyone seen Laundress?" Smalltown RN aka Qualicum RN and Wolfbaby were near by and looked at each and shook their heads. "Nope haven't seen her" "Well she's got to be here....we came together" says Pearls and Dreams " That's not like her to just wonder off" "Well she does have a lot on her mind lately, she is reviewing that new laundry soap you know and it is a big contract for her if all goes well" said Wolfbaby. "You know come to think of it...I think I heard her say she was going to step outside to get some fresh air" Qualicum RN said.

Pearls and Dreams headed for the doorway and out to the parking lot. "Laundress are you out here" she shouted. No answer. Pearl and Dreams starts to panic..."where are you" she whispers to herself "you've got to be here somewhere" Just as she is walking by a van she sees what she thinks is a man and woman embraced in each others arms. "Excuse me but have you seen a woman about my height. dark hair and wearing a black dress?" The man responds with a hurried "NO" there was no answer from the woman. Pearl gets a knot feeling in her stomach like there is something wrong with this couple neither of them make eye contact with her. As a matter of fact both keep their heads down. She watches the man put the woman in the car....she is not moving well at all, she is staggering and her body seems limp. Pearl tries to get a good look at the woman but she couldn't see very well as the lights in the parking lot were dim. Just at that moment out comes Fallen Angel and Difficult Patient "What's going on" they ask in unison. " I don't know I can't find Laundress....but I think she might be in that car that just drove off""

So I leave the story here....our dear Laundress has gone missing....and who knows could it be our Dr. A who has kidnapped her? Cathy and Dr. Rob where are they....was it really Cathy in that ambulance or was it her estranged twin sister? Poor Mysti pining for her beloved Dr.A. Will Susan come up with a script for her children's program? Poor Jungle Tart all she wanted was to play her clarinet while Dr. Rob played his guitar and she dreamt of them making such beautiful music together.

Hi Mary Ann:-) I'm just now catching up with all your news...I hadn't heard about this "soap" so I'll have to go read all the entries so far!! Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear that your brother decided he had to leave...Lord knows, I have a brother in almost the same situation and no matter how much we did for him, it didn't help. You did not fail your brother...he's failing himself. You did everything you could for him...he's a grown man, he'll have to figure out life for himself. My heart goes out to you because I know what it feels like! xoxo Will answer your email tomorrow...just haven't had time today but know that I'm quite thrilled that I brought two people together in friendship:-)

I read this yesterday -- and then couldn't comment. Blogger was being disrespectful.

I'm getting scared. All the plots will be gone by the time it gets to me.

I'll have to have everyone get "lost" in a plane crash on an unknown island, having to take turns holding their finger down on the button that will end the world if it is released.

Knock, knock. Anybody home?

Hmmm, just as I suspected...people are actually taking this seriously and writing interesting stuff, oh well, there's a weak link in every chain.

I read this the other day but couldn't leave a comment to congratulate you on your effort.

Hey one of my best friends lives on Vancouver Island (I came here this time via a profile link) Campbell River in fact. I was his best man, and coincidentally I spoke to him for a couple of hours last Monday.

Small world isn't it Smalltown?

Hello RN,
How well you wrote this little soap chapter. And I liked the way you left all the right cliffhangers at the end.
When I saw Susan & her television script, I thought, "Oh my God!"
But I admit it was creative & clever.
tee-hee. So big pat on the back!
