Robbie started jogging toward his destination: La Casa de Carlisle. Taking the five steps up to her porch two-at-a-time, Robbie reached the door and knocked. He heard some moving from inside and waited at the door. She had a big house. Two stories, maybe 4,000 square feet inside. He heard the lock click and waited. When the door opened, Robbie got a shock. He was expecting short little Kim to answer the door, not a 6 foot 10 inches tall wall of pure black muscle to.

"Um, M- Mr. Carlisle, I'm Robert McGrath. I go to school with your daughter, Kim."

"I know the name of my own daughter, Robert. We've been expecting you. Please, enter." He said holding the door open and moving so Robbie could squeeze in.

"You have a very lovely home, sir. I'm diggin' the chandelier." Robbie said looking around.

"Really? Mrs. Carlisle designed it. She's an interior decorator. KIM! YOUR DATE'S HERE!" He said, shouting up the stairs.

"Date? No sir, I just came over to talk with Kim."

"'Talk'. Sure. Well, young man, what do you plan on 'talking' to Kim about?" He said, lighting up a cigar.

"Well, sir, Kim offered me a spot on Cougar Radio, and I wanted to talk to her about it."

At that point, Kim came walking down the steps saying, "I don't have a date tonight, dadd-" Her eyes caught Robbies. "OH! Robbie! Hi." She ran down the rest of the steps and grabbed Robbie by the hand. "We'd better get going."

"Kim, Robert tells me that you don't have a date tonight." He said, eyeing Robbie suspiciously.

"Well, daddy, it's not really a date, so much as a meeting of the minds."

"Right. Be home by Ten o'clock. No later." He said, glaring at Robbie.

"Don't worry, daddy, I'll be home by ten o'clock, I promise." She tip-toed and kissed him on the cheek.

"Put on a jacket on, it's supposed to get chilly." He said smiling at his daughter.

While Kim went to get a jacket, Kim's dad pulled Robbie close to him and said in a low growl, "If you hurt her boy, I will break you in two."

"Y-Yes, Sir." Robbie stuttered, trying not to wet himself.

"Rodger! Let go of him." A womans voice came from across the room.
