RC’s path to answering the “WHAT. COMES. NEXT. ??” question has him seeking a ride over-the-hill with Ms Katie. Straightforward? Yeah… No… The situation is quite fluid (thus the need to “FLEX-N-FLO” as one agreed to exchange leads to a new development.

First, a quick recap from the last post.
So now we return to THE WESTSIDE to experience “WHAT. COMES. NEXT.” :
INT. KATIE’S GARAGE
KATIE, The Former Suit, is warming up her car and playing with her phone. Just as she puts it into gear to back out, RC THE GREMLIN, shows up.
KATIE
Dude… Cutting it close, eh?
RC THE GREMLIN
What? I thought I was gonna be too early so I hung back. If anything YOU are the one pushing back early, my friend.
She takes a deep breath and smiles.
KATIE
Sorry. You’re right.
At the last minute I decided to… We gotta make a stop. Won’t take long.
RC THE GREMLIN
Don’t want to keep Happy Puppy, KEE-RA waiting… You know… as IT IS the hardest part.
KATIE
Watch it with the ear worms, Sport!
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. CAT & CLOUD
They pull into the parking lot at the WESTSIDE CAT & CLOUD.
RC THE GREMLIN
Here? This is the stop??
KATIE
Yes, here. I’ll be quick so…
RC THE GREMLIN
Okay… Gotcha!
As Katie walks inside the coffee shop, RC shakes his head.
RC THE GREMLIN
If I had known… Oh well. As long as…
His thoughts are disrupted by a droning sound followed by a thunk.
RC THE GREMLIN
What WAS that?
While remaining in the car, he glances about.
RC THE GREMLIN
Gotta stay put or she’ll really be upset.
Then his eyes detect motion.
RC THE GREMLIN
Whatever it is… It’s moving… By itself?! What kinda…?
Squinting his eyes, he then laughs.
RC THE GREMLIN
Ah… I get it. Interesting technique.
Watching the package move its way inside, RC leans out the window and flashes the thumbs-up.
Katie sees, smiles and gives a thumbs-up back.
She opens the door to the driver side back seat and deposits her PAK and the picked-up items.
KATIE
Smells good, eh? I shared NIGHT SHIFT with them and now… THE ANSWER.

RC looks and notices something else.
RC THE GREMLIN
STICKER MULE? I didn’t see that before. Can I?
He grabs the package and is peeking inside.
KATIE
Just picked it up… Seems that our Happy Barista, Ms KIMBA had an inspiration. From SLABBY SKETCH to…
RC THE GREMLIN
Whoa!
KATIE
Right? I saw she had a few stuck to the side of the espresso machine. Pulled this envelope out from under the counter. Could barely contain her excitement.
RC THE GREMLIN
Cool! So we’re… “Show & Telling” our DUCKIN’ friends perhaps?
KATIE
Timing is right as I’m sure Kimba is eager for some feedback. Understandably so… Cute and to me, a WESTSIDE VIBE, which is way cool.
RC THE GREMLIN
Indeed! Fun & inspired!
KATIE
Now buckle up.
RC tosses the package in the back as they drive off.
RC THE GREMLIN
That was so DING!
FADE OUT.
Stay tuned, Friends! This will for sure be a fantastical journey!
