Valerie stumbled out the back door, this time breaking the 4 inch heel of her pricey red shoe. DAMN, you think they'd put training wheels on these things she thought as she flung them both down the stairs and followed, barefoot, to the ground floor.

Tiptoe-ing quickly around the shards of broken rolling rock bottles, she moved toward the run down Pacer. Luckily the door was unlocked, because Rock had clearly given her the spare key since the electronic door opener was missing!

She was relieved to see the 4 on the floor, thinking "oh, this will be almost like the lamborghini" as she launched out of the parking lot, spitting broken glass and hitting 50 before blowing through the stop sign at the end of the block.

"I'm glad Mr. Rockhead has agreed to help me, but I can't understand why he would need to meet secretly at the Motel 7 just so I can show him my letter from Danny"
At the thought of her dear brother Danny, whose letter had her so worried, Valerie burst into tears again. "Oh, I so hope he's not in too much danger..."

"Well, Mr. Rockhead will help me find him...he seems very kind..."
