Wicked Times, chapter 8
Billie was downstairs, in the kitchen, little did Alexis know that he was on the phone with Reprise.
Billie asked Reprise records, "Why didn't you get Alexis a place to stay? Your the ones who sent her here!" Billie was trying hard to stay calm. The last thing he wanted to do was fly off the handle because the fucking record company wasn't getting things right.
"Who is Alexis, Billie?"
"The woman you sent here for the job!"
"We never sent a girl by the name of Alexis."
Billie asked, "What?"
"We never sent that girl."
"You had to have. You're mixed up, I know, look she has an awesome voice. You had to have sent her here."
"Billie, we checked our papers, your bands files. That girl isn't the one. She's not on the list."
Billie stuttered, "But.... but.. she... we just recorded a fucking record. Why didn't you check this earlier?"
"We didn't have time Billie."
Billie yelled, "What the.." He stopped and calmed down. He asked "What do you mean you didn't have time?"
Reprise said, "Well, when your recording a record it seems to take up most of your's and our time."
Billie shouted, "But that's your job. You said you'd take care of the singer!"
With that Billie slammed down the phone and headed up the stairs to talk to Alexis. Before Billie had the chance to talk with Alexis the doorbell rang.

I heard a knock on my door. I looked at my alarm clock it read 12:17 pm.
I yelled, "Come in."
The door opened slowly.
I pleaded, "I over slept. I'm sorry Billie."
Tre smiled a little and said, "I'm sorry Alex, but I'm not Billie."
I smiled. I jumped off my bed and hugged him.
Tre said, "We have to talk to you."
I've never heard that kind of voice from Tre before. He sounded so serious. I started to wonder what this was all about.
