She retrieved her Jaguar from the mechanics garage and pulled out onto the
highway. "Can you show me where a few good places are to, you know, like,
hang out?"
He nodded, squinting at the bright sun, "Take the next exit for Smithsfield."
"Okay." She accelerated swiftly and swerved sharply through the exit, passing several cars in the process. When they came to the next stoplight, she reached over and snapped on the radio, "What next?"
He pointed to her left, "Go that way for about 1.5 miles and then turn right on Max St."
Angela followed his directions and came to another stoplight.
Another car pulled up beside them and the driver looked over at Toad and yelled something unintelligible.
Toad leaned out the window, "What?" he yelled.
The other car pulled closer, "I SAID, WHO IS YOUR FRIEND?"
"WHO, HER?"
The driver nodded emphatically.
"FOLLOW US TO MAC'S AND FIND OUT!"
With that, the light turned green and Angela floored the gas pedal, shoved back in her seat by the sudden burst of speed. 'Weirdo.' She thought. "Who is that?" she asked jerking her head in the driver's direction.
Toad looked away toward the road, "Just an old friend. I work with him sometimes."
"Oh."
"Pull in here." He said pointing to a seemingly run down place with a broken sign labeled 'Mac's'.
She pulled in slowly and parked near the front.
He shook his head, "Uh uh. You don't wanna park here. Cars near the front are easy targets for grafitti, keying, etc."
She nodded once and pulled out again moving toward the back where the guy at the stoplight was already waiting for them.
Toad hopped out over the side, "Hey man. How's it goin'?"
"Fine, Toad. Just fine. Now, just who is your friend over here?"
"Angela, this is Speed. Speed, Angela."
Speed flicked a strand of blond hair out of his face, "Pleasure. So, Toad, I assume your showing her around town because.she just moved here, right? Am I right?"
"Right," replied Angela.
"Angela, haven't they warned you about him yet? A real bad character he is. You'd be better off with someone else..Someone like me for example."
He grinned mischieviously.
She snorted happily.
"Ha, ha, ha. O.K., enough. Let's go in Mac's for a while." Interjected Toad sarcastically.
"Honestly, I was only funnin' with you. You take things so seriously sometimes." Said Speed sounding a bit miffed.
Angela looked the place over doubtfully. 'Well here goes nothing.' she thought as she walked into Mac's reluctantly with Toad and Speed.
He nodded, squinting at the bright sun, "Take the next exit for Smithsfield."
"Okay." She accelerated swiftly and swerved sharply through the exit, passing several cars in the process. When they came to the next stoplight, she reached over and snapped on the radio, "What next?"
