Dedicated to all the Lucas fans who felt cheated of a proper exit for a favorite character.
Chapter 1
KROGER SUPERMARKET

Lucas is pushing his grocery cart through the store when his Blackberry rings.
Lucas: Damn, I wish I didn’t sign up for Facebook. I keep getting these annoying notifications every two minutes. Let’s see what this one is about. He looks at the display. Sami? Why is she trying to get in touch with me through Facebook? Why doesn’t she just call me like a normal person? Probably because she’s not a normal person.
The message: “Lucas, I need you. Hurry.”
His brow furrows and he lets out a sigh.
Lucas: Don’t you have four or five other beck-and-call boys? What do you “need” me for? Ha. Who am I kidding? She calls me because I’m the fool who drops everything for her and comes running. Oh hell.
He dials Sami’s number.
Lucas: What do you want, Sami?
Sami [on her cell phone]: What do you mean what do I want?
Lucas: You called me.
Sami: No, you called me.
Lucas: OK, then tweeted or fanned or friended. Whatever it’s called.
Sami: Lucas, have you been drinking?
Lucas: Sami, I’m not in the mood for this. If you need something, come out with it. Otherwise, I’ve got things to do.
Sami: Then go. Do your things.
Lucas hangs up.
Lucas: Damn, that woman is so irritating.
LUCAS’ HOUSE
Later, Lucas is home. He put his groceries away, changed into a black tee shirt and blue jeans, and has just made himself a plate of nachos. He’s at his computer getting comfortable when he logs into his Facebook account and sees a new message from Sami on his wall.
Message from Sami: Lucas, why haven’t you answered me???
Lucas types a response: I did! What’s wrong with you???
Lucas: Damn!
He logs off the computer, grabs his jacket, and heads out.
To be continued weekdays, starting tomorrow ...
