Spider Quinn 07: Ashes to Ashes - Part 6

Quinn was doing her homework in the loungeroom when she heard the doorbell. She went and opened it. She saw Stacy, Tiffany and Tori. “Come in,” she said.

“Is Linda here?” Stacy asked as she and the others entered.

“I think she is out looking for a job,” Quinn answered.

“Good!” Stacy said. “I mean, she can’t just stay here.”

“That’s true,” Quinn said as she lead the way to the kitchen.


It wasn’t long before Daria arrived home. She was annoyed.

“What’s wrong?” Stacy asked.

“Nothing.”

“Doesn’t seem like nothing,” Quinn said.

Daria sighed. “Jane wasn’t there, at the Pizza place.”

“She wasn’t?” Tori asked.

“No, she said she had to do something,” Daria answered.

“Oh,” Stacy said.

“But just for today. It’s rare that she spends time with her mother.”

“The Lane’s mother in Lawndale?” Tori asked. “That is rare.”

“And I see that it’s not unknown.”

“My older sister was a classmate of one of her older sisters,” Tori said with a shrug.”

Daria nodded. She grabbed some water and biscuits and headed up to her room.
