nine shades of red (2006)

Debbie brought popcorn this time with the un-spiked wine and cheese

for she and Dixie's movie night

"what film did you get this time?" Dixie asked, watching Debbie load the DVD

"Oh ...it's very different sort of film tonight...sort of a documentary," Debbie said taking her place on Dixie's sofa., watching Dixie's face drop when Dixie saw her face appear on the screen explaining in depth about ,"How the carbon polymer nano tubes each had to be shaped exactingly to fit between site specific neural pathways-

Dixie Shaker sat in a stall in the ladies room earlier she had placed an orange cone outside the bathroom to indicate the bathroom was being either cleaned or was in repair.

Crying ,Dixie applied 9 different shades of red nail polish nearly indistinguishable from each other...

so that the nine different prototypes of nano sensor and nano bot could be more easily categorized.
It had taken little time to mix the vials of nano tech in with the nail polish
nor had it been as difficult as she presumed to slip the vials back into Fort Knox like cabinet they were stored in.

Dixie had already booked her flight to Los Angeles and made the necessary "sick aunt" story to validate her departure .Dixie had already mailed the triplicates of the various programs that enabled the nano processors to function in old CDs sleeves of Party Mix Hits.to a specified address in Las Vegas.

At the North Hollywood Annex a professional manicurist carefully sanded "away" Dixie's hardened nail gloss containing the bounty of nanotube derivations ,the carefulness,as to not scratch or dent the thousands of "beyond tiny" technology required that the manicurist  take hour filing each nail.

.A fellow Neuronaut had "borrowed"a huge electron microscope from a work/study research facility outside of San Francisco that had been "apparently" burglarized early that week and burnt to the ground by "perhaps a disgruntled " employee or maybe a cash conscious guard ,perhaps the one burnt in the fire.

A 18foot wide U -Haul served as the electron microscope's new home where the traces of the various shades of red fingernail polish were studied under the lens.

Dixie Shaker,her nails repainted  a uniformed shade of light pink flew back home .
To hang herself.
