A Friend-Shaped Hole in the Wall
And that was that. Mandy had skipped town, and Leslie had to continue working her day job as a waitress in Arkansas. She was shocked that a person she once called a close friend would actually do her dirty like that. She kicked herself for not recording a verbal agreement or drawing up an actual contract, but hey, why risk friendship with such legal problems, right?
Whether Mandy never intended to share her earnings with Leslie or not is unclear. Maybe the greed bug bit her while she got her picture taken with the oversized check. Perhaps she was always a snake in human clothing. But before anyone could verify anything, Mandy pulled a Kool-Aid Man and left a friend-shaped hole in the wall on her way out of town.
