A/N: Many, many thank you's to everyone who reviewed. These last few chapters have been EXTREMELY short (as is this one). But bear with me; the next one is longer. I just needed to divide a few things for the first few chapters instead of putting it all in one chapter. Well...onward...

In Which We Meet Our Heroine

-Highway 10, 2004-

Cappi Sellers sped down Highway 10, singing along to the radio. She barely had to pay attention to her driving—she knew the highway like the back of her right leg. In fact, she had a scar running the length of her right calf that resembled it.

Cappi was heading to her grandmother's house in Perryville to spend the summer. She had everything she needed packed into her car, and the air conditioner set on high.

This summer is going to be good, the seventeen year-old told herself as she careened around a corner.
