The scene is a cool starry evening just outside the entrance of the resturaunt/cocktail bar, "Bela Luna" in the small city of Lakeview. On this night, the city is fluttering with activity as the most affluent, most respected, most influential, and highest reguarded citizens are gathered inside and outside the opulance and luxury of the five star "Bela" for Lakeview Hospital's Annual Fundraiser. All of tonights patrons are dressed to the nines in their finest, looking more like they are ready to recieve their Oscars than to raise funds for the hospital.

Security is in position undercover and otherwise due to an unfortunate mishap last year involving a small explosion that was later discovered to be foul play but the culprit was never found.

Inside, waiters and waitresses in black tuxedos are carrying silver trays of drinks and appetizers throughout the open floor inside the resturaunts open floor, the bartenders are serving drinks to a few patrons standing at the bar.

The room is decorated in flowing ivory and beige fabrics, cream marble floor and pillars, dark mahogany wood and rich artwork. As you enter the front, double-doors, of the resturaunt, there is a massive room with an expanse of open floor for socializing and dancing. At the far end of the room is a small stage just big enough for a small jazz band. The bar is to your left tucked far against the wall, and beautifully set tables are intimately gathered in the four corners and along the walls of the room.

Outside the resturaunt are banners and streamers announcing the occasion hanging from beautiful streetlights and well manicured trees around the building. The streets and walkways are gently lit with the soft purples of the fading sun along with the soft light from the streetlights and lanterns.

Caitlin Matthews, owner of Bela Luna and the hostess of the evenings events, dressed in a cream colored sleeveless flowing silk gown, is directing her employees and greeting her guests from the front doors of the resturaunt. As our story begins, guests are arriving and valets are busy as this little city's tale unfolds.....
