I am Baaack! Part 7

Barbara knelt in front of Lou. Washing each lens in her palm with lens fluid, she then inserted them. She moved, and did the same for Ed. Both ladies seemed in shock; neither made a protest of any kind.

Now they were almost done. Robbie looked around the room for Ed's pack of cigarettes, but noticed there was a cigarette, amazingly, still burning undisturbed in the ashtray on the end table by where Ed had been sitting. She walked over to it and with her fingernail, bumped it just a little; a few seconds later, it fell from the ashtray onto the table and from there rolled onto the floor, it's burning end touching the copy of the Tribune lying there. Barbara had pulled Lou to her feet, and Rose had done the same for Ed. They guided them into the entrance way and out the door held open by G.A., who had gathered their purses.
