"Dan ,if this is about that old mustang you want to buy and start fixing up ,the answer is no .You won't be able to drive for years...."
"No , Mom." Dan waved his hand disparagingly,dis-missing the subject that had occupied his attention for the past three weeks. "This is really big news ,a late -breaking story,a really hot item . Guess who's in town? Right here in Jackson !"
" Tom Wineski" her response was flat and humourless. Her lack of enthusiasm was lost on Dan as he looked at her in amazement.
"How did you know ?"
" Just a lucky guess,dan." As a matter of fact,thirty minutes ago I was threatening him with a knife in this very kitchen.
Jenelle wondered if he had heard her answer it all .His next questions drowned out of her lame explanation. " Mom what do you think he was doing here ? Do you think he could be scouting out locations for next year's show ? Wouldn't Jackson be a great place to film ?"
She smile at the wistfulness in his voice . Personally,she couldn't think of much worse than a TV production crew descending on the summer somnolence of Jackson. Jenelle tried to look at it through his eyes . " It sure would, Dan .Think of all the business uncle Ned would get at the convenience store.He might want to hire you like he does during the Fall Fest ."
"Yeah , and i was thinking they might need to hire extra help for the show. Do you think so mom? , Should I get my hair cut just in case they do auditions?"
"I don't think they do auditions for extras son ,I really don't think Tom Wineski is here to stay .More likely, he's just passing through."
"I guess you're right.But I gotta find Dennis Wilson and tell him anyway."
He headed for the phone ,but when it started ringing he made a sharp U - turn and made a beeline for the door instead . " I think I'll just run over to his house."
Janelle smiled . This summer her almost- seventh grader had been plagued by phone calls from the local girls who were just realizing what one of them had described as his "hunk potential" . He dreaded the calls and almost never answered the phone.
This time it was more likely to be someone calling to tell her about Wineski spotting . News traveled fast in a small town. Janelle wondered how long it would be before they figured out exactly where he'd spent his few minutes in Jackson.
She grab the phone on the third ring " Hello,Harpers."
" Why the hell did they name a motel 'Rooster's Rest '?"
