She, in turn, offered one to the newswoman, who took
it and started to introduce herself.
"I'm Julia Waters," she said, "WNN news. Would you answer a few questions
for me?"
"After you've read the brochure, if there's time," said Mandi. "That's my
press release. I can't stay long, so see if your questions are on there, okay?"
Julia's eyes fell to the brochure and she opened it.
As she did so, Mandi held up another brochure and said, "I have about a
hundred of these, if anyone wants one."
The crowd seemed to surge forward as a mass of grasping hands. WNN's
newsteam found themselves jostled out of position as both Cade and Mandi handed
out the brochures.
Many immediately began clamoring for autographs. Cade handed Mandi a pen and
continued to hand out brochures as Mandi signed brochures, clothing, arms, and
whatever else people presented with a quick, cursive 'MS'.
Just as they handed out the last of the brochures -- right on cue -- Cade's
cell phone rang. He answered it, then tapped Mandi's shoulder and handed the
phone to her.
"Mandi," she said, then listened intently for a moment, said, "Be right
there," and pushed the 'off' button as she handed the phone back to Cade.
