Chapter 43 by Zingiber Zingiber

What woman is calling Joe in the dark of night?

Myrna from Joe's pool cleaning job

"Hey Joe, kid," Myrna says over the phone. "I need your help."

Kid? I'm twenty-one. And why is she calling me and not her brother, our actual boss?

There are voices in the background wherever Myrna is calling from. And music. A party or maybe a restaurant.

"I need a ride. You know my brother's house? Pull up in the alley around back. I'll watch for your headlights."

Aw shit. A party she wants no part of. Whatever it is, she wants out and far away. And she can't call a cab or drive.

"Okay Myrna."

"I'll be out back waiting, Joe."

Click.

It's a warm night, but there's a little fog blowing lazily in from the ocean, and it will be cool later. A nice night to drive with the windows down. You start up your crummy little car and turn onto the expressway that dives down into a canyon and climbs back up into your boss's neighborhood.

Random Event: Reveal (Social) Allies (Technical). Who is at the party? Did someone else get Myrna first, or does she have to stay despite her wishes?

What happens when you try to pick her up?
