Subject: Kande finally digs her way out from under piles of paperwork.

"Damn these taxes! The paperwork is killing me, to say nothing of all the paper cuts I have. Ouch!" Kande looks at her pinky finger (left hand) where a thin line of blood is forming. "Rats!"

Suddenly, Rabid appears at her door. "Would you like some help?"

Kande looks at her suspiciously. "With the paperwork or the paper cut?"

Before Rabid can answer, Bubba shuffles in wheeling a cart full of receipts. Kande groans. "Where did you find those?" Bubba, through a series of gestures, says the receipts were stuffed into the mattress of the bed in the guest room. Kande groans again, head in hands.

"Well, I see you're busy, so I'll go away." Rabid vanishes in a puff of smoke.

"I really wish she wouldn't do that," coughs Kande. "Turn on the fan, will ya?" Bubba flips a switch for the ceiling fan which comes on and quickly disperses the smoke. Kande grabs another caffeine-free diet coke and returns to her tax forms. A few minutes later, the phone rings. "Yeah?" Kande barks her greeting.

"What are you doing there?" It's Kenamom.

Kande breaks into a cold sweat. "Uh...just double checking my arithmetic. I'd hate to underpay my taxes! Ha ha!"

"Taxes? Oh, right." Kenamom had forgotten that she demanded the Halloween taxes early this year. "Well, that's not actually why I'm calling. You're not supposed to be there. You were assigned to new living quarters."

"I was?" Kande is truly puzzled.

"You were. Now, let me get out my list and tell you where you're supposed to be..." The rustling of papers is heard in the background. "Ok, here it is. You are now living..."

"Mayor? Mayor? Are you still there?" Kande asks even though she knows the line is dead. She returns the phone to the cradle and stares at it for a few moments. "Boy, I'd sure hate to be the person in charge of the phone company! The fine for this little incident is going to be astronomical, especially coming on the heels of the Halloween taxes." Certain the mayor will call back soon, Kande resumes her paperwork.

Meanwhile, the mayor is frantically punching that button that hangs up the phone. No dial tone. "Oh my god. It's happening!"
