Tamara was in the grocery store, and she once again had the strange feeling that she was being followed. She glanced behind her but saw no one. What was going on with her, more and more she felt herself feeling nervous when she was out. Was that mysterious lady really following her and if so, why?
She quickly gathered up what was on her list, checked out and headed out of the store. All she wanted was to get home and relax in her pool. It had been a long day at work, and then she made a few stops on the way home. The grocery store was her last one. She needed to get her Banana fudge ice cream and Coffee ice cream home before they melted.
Who was that standing by her car? It was her! The mysterious lady must have been following her, she was standing by her car! Tamara picked up her pace, she was determined to get to the bottom of what this lady wanted with her.
“Excuse me Ma’am, why are you standing by my car?” Tamara asked as she walked up to her car.
“HI! I am Tanya” , and she put out her hand. ” I am new to the area and now my car has a flat tire. Sorry, to bother you, but I have seen you in the neighborhood and you looked like a nice person so I was hoping you could help me.”
Tamara’s heart was pulled. She did have a kind heart and was always quick to offer a helping hand. She didn’t know a lot about cars but she did know how to change a flat tire. Her Dad had taught her well.
“Sure, I can help you, where is your car?”
Tanya smiled, as she led the way to the next row of cars. Her car was parked away from the other cars in the far corner. They got to her car and Tanya popped the trunk.”I think everything you need to change it is in here.”
Tamara looked in and suddenly she felt something hard hit her in the head. She screamed as everything went black.
Tanya slammed the trunk shut. Well that was easy enough, she thought. Patrick’s girlfriend is pretty gullible. Now to pay Patrick a surprise visit, she had some unfinished business with him to take care of!
They were almost to his house when…. Tonya slammed on her brakes! What was that blasted cow doing straight ahead of her in the middle of the road and…!
She pounded the steering wheel. Patrick and Luke were standing on either side of Betsy!
There was no room for her to turn around, plus Luke and Patrick were walking to her car now. Tanya smacked her head on the steering wheel as she heard Patrick’s voice.
“Well, well, well, I see we meet again! Didn’t expect to meet up so soon again, guess you just couldn’t resist wanting to see my handsome face again?” Tanya made a face! “I don’t understand, how did you know?”
Luke said, “We will explain, but first I think you have a trunk to open!”
Tanya pulled the lever to pop the trunk and Patrick pulled out Tamara who had a throbbing headache, and was shook up, but found comfort in Patrick’s strong arms.
It didn’t take long to arrest Tanya and send her off to prison once more. This time there would be tighter security, Luke would see to it! He took Tanya, while Patrick took Tamara back to his place to help her recover from her frightening experience.
Tamara laid on the couch with her head in Patrick’s lap, as he gently rubbed it.
“Explain to me again how everything unfolded.”
“Luke had called me about Anna escaping from prison. It seems that Betsy had come back to his farm one day and told him everything. She had thought she wanted to escape the farm but then started feeling guilty for Luke had always been really good to her. Apparently Luke has some very special animals, for they all helped put this plan into motion.
Luke brought Betsy and a goose along with him about a week ago now. We had the goose trail Tanya, and she would report back to Betsy who told Luke. The goose was in the parking lot at the grocery store, she saw everything that happened and we flew into action when we heard the news.
Tamara sighed, “I have never been so grateful for animals before as I am right now!”
Patrick leaned down and gave her a kiss.
“I can’t imagine what I would have done if something would have happened to you. Betsy the cow and the awesome Goose are our heroes! I heard that Luke has a Gnu on his farm now too. Oh and an extra cow named Bessie. Anna loves them all!
They all have brought Luke comfort, as he was sorry to lose his pig and Charlie the Chicken. He still has never found out what happened to them, they disappeared the same day as Betsy did and they never came back!
Yes, Luke has his extra special animals and I have Myrtle the turtle, who just eats earthworms and….”
Patrick stood up quickly, letting Tamara’s head drop on the couch.
“Myrtle, Where is Myrtle? How did her lid get knocked off?”
This turtle is making the plot move along slowly. I think Tanya (not Tonya) stole the turtle and has it hidden somewhere. Patrick is going to have to agree to help Tanya escape, in return for her revealing where Myrtle is.

How can we remember Annie???? We’ve barely heard of her in ages! Where is she, anyway … with Luke? He never mentions her. I thought she had turned out like her step-mum and gone on to a life of crime! Or that Anna had … gulp … well, you know … dispatched her along with the chicken man.
Well, you left the Myrtle thread dangling, my dear friend, so I fear that the story has a ways to go yet. Ah … wait … I think I see Myrtle now … and is that another … why yes, I believe she has found a mate!

It was with much trepidation that I began to read this.
Opening thoughts…. needs more puns.
Tamara eats too much ice cream. I wonder how Betsy feels about that.
I see that my Tanya/Tonya suggestions caused trouble for you. I almost feel guilty about that.
I have trouble believing that Betsy grew a conscience, but cows are strange creatures. Still, where is Betsy’s gold? Whatever happened to that goat that changed clothes with Tanya? What about Mrs. Gnu? With the Gnu on the farm, who will take over as mayor of Borden? Myrtle?
OK, and Luke has all of these new animals and Anna just loves them? Anna or Annie? Why does Anna love them? Which one is Tonya again?
You sure wrapped things up and didn’t leave any opening for further stories. Yep, no loose ends. Well, except the turtle. And Tonya, she has shown up twice now.

I forgot about the goat, but he is fine, he just jumped the fence and ran off, no problem! There is no Mrs.Gnu,and I think the fabric shop lady would be a good person to take over as Mayor. 🙂 Problem solved!
Anna/Annie?? I do believe its time I go to bed. And no Tonya didn’t show up twice, just once! And now I am putting the pillow over my head, can’t hear you! 🙂
