After Midnight Page #5

---

You've got to know that...

know how much I love you more

than anything.

I love you this much.

No. I'm sorry. I'm so

sorry.

Don't cry. I am so sorry.

You have one new message..

Doctor Hubbard, it's a friend

of Constance Turner.

I don't know what you've been

telling her,

or what kind of thoughts you've

been filling her head with

but she's in a very bad way

right now.

And I'm holding you personally

responsible,

you got that?

Yeah, I got it.

So, you can see how everything has

gotten so complicated that the only

real solution is to make sure that every

"I" is dotted and "T" is... is crossed.

Now, that creates more

complications, of course,

but I feel confident that I

will rise to the task.

I mean so far so good, right?

What's the matter?

No more words of advice.

No more telling me every move

to make.

No more spying on me. No?

Well, good.

Because I have had it up to

here with everybody

just treating me like I'm some

kind of child,

I mean... sorry I'm rambling.

So, I've got some things I have

to tidy up

so if you'll excuse me I have a

late show to get ready for.

There's someone here to see

you, Julie.

I don't know what you're

expecting

but this girl hasn't spoken

since she was operated on.

I understand that. But this

point I don't have a choice.

Julie, Constance is in big

trouble... really big trouble.

And I want to help her but I

can't find her.

Do you know where she is?

Julie, if you know anything

you've got to try to help us.

Thank you.

What are you doing here,

Constance?

What does it look like I'm

doing?

I'm picking out my costume for

tonight's show.

The club is closed. There's no

one here.

They'll come. They always come.

They'll come to see me.

No one's coming, Constance.

And stop calling me Constance.

She's such a drag, man.

Who are you? Annie?

You're funny.

All that money I paid you to straighten

me out and you still don't know who I am.

Where's Constance?

I don't know.

Maybe she's dead. Maybe I

killed her.

Annie, you need help. Let me

help you.

Help me? Like you helped my

sister?

I don't think so, Sam.

You're fired.

My God.

Constance?

Did you kill me, Julian?

Kill you? I didn't kill anybody.

You're the only one left.

How do you explain that?

I think you killed them,

Constance.

I think you killed your own

sister.

And then you killed everybody you thought

was responsible for what she'd become.

Don't call me Constance!

Why not?

Because Constance can't live

with what she's done?

My name is Annie.

Annie! Say it!

All right. Annie.

Okay, now what?

First round's on me.

Sorry for dragging this out.

I'm usually a better shot.

What the hell is going on

around here?

I knew I was forgetting someone.

Yeah, everybody's a tough guy

until they meet my little friend.

My Gosh. Come on get up.

Get up on your feet.

You're ruining my carpet.

Thank you. You saved my life.

Well, maybe you should stop

hanging out at joints like this.

You might live longer.

I swear I'm swearing... I'm

swearing off strippers. Okay.

I just want a real relationship

and make it last.

Sorry. Come on.
