"What just happened?" Asked Tracy.

"Uh…" replied Anna, "we kinda, sorta hit something."

"Something?"

"Or someone."

"What!"

"Don't get excited," said Janessa. "Maybe we just stunned him and he'll be fine and get up and walk away."

"This isn't a deer we're talking about," said Tracy. "But he's probably not dead…at least…I hope. We weren't going that fast when we hit him, were we?"

"I don't know," replied Anna. "We should really go check and see if he's alive or…not."

"Right," said Janessa. She, Anna, and Tracy got out of the van while Shanna sat shocked and unmoving in the driver's seat. The three of them proceeded to the front of the van where a body lay unmoving in the street.

Anna poked the blond guy gingerly with the toe of her shoe. "Do you think he's dead?"

"How am I supposed to know?" Snapped Janessa.

"Check!"

"I'm not checking!"

"I'll check!" Tracy said intervening. She knelt down and felt on the guy's wrists for a pulse.

"Well?" Said Janessa after a few seconds.

"He's alive," replied Tracy, letting go of the wrist." And take a look, do you see any blood or anything? There's nothing. The van is barely dented at all, if that dent wasn't already there before."

"You're right," said Anna. "But he is unconscious."

"Listen," said Tracy, "we've got to get going before that black Porsche gets mobile again and comes after us. Let's just get outta here—this guy's gonna be fine."

"But we can't just leave him here lying unconscious in the street," said Anna.

"She's right," agreed Janessa. "If we just leave him here something might happen to him."

"What do you wanna do?" Asked Tracy sarcastically. "Take him with us?" Then, by the looks on their faces Tracy could see that that was exactly what they wanted to do. "Oh no," stated Tracy. "No way, uh-uh, nope…"

Within the next minute they were lifting the guy up—Janessa and Tracy each had an arm, and Anna held his feet—and carrying him to the open side door of the van and trying to maneuver him into the back seat. When they finally had him lying in the back of the van, Janessa and Tracy sat down in the middle 2 seats, and Anna was pushing Shanna into the front passenger's seat.

"What are you doing?" Asked Shanna as she snapped out of her shock induced daze.

"I'm driving," replied Anna.

"That's not what I mean," said Shanna as she sat down in the passenger seat and

looked into the back of the van."

"Oh, that," said Anna. "Well you see…" And as Anna carefully drove through the streets she explained to Shanna why the guy they had hit was lying unconscious in the back seat of the van.

"I had nothing to do with it," said Tracy once Anna had summed up the situation. "I wanted to leave him there."

"Well that figures," said Shanna. "But what are we supposed to do with him?"

"We can take him to Amy's place," suggested Janessa. "That is, if we ever get unlost."

"No problem," said Anna. "I know exactly where we are now. Next stop Amy's—but first let's get some takeout. I'm hungry."

Despite everyone's protests, Anna took a detour past the Harvey's takeout window, seemingly ordering enough food to feed an army.

"What do you think Amy's going to think when we carry an unconscious guy into her house?" Janessa asked.

"She'll probably ask what happened," replied Tracy.

"Yeah," agreed Anna as she turned a corner at the last second nearly spilling all of the drinks. "And then we can tell her that Shanna was experimenting with new ways to meet guys."

"Hey!" Exclaimed Shanna. "It wasn't my fault. You guys are the ones who told me to hurry."

"Don't sweat it," said Janessa. "At least you picked a cute guy to hit."

"I'm gonna hit you if you don't shut up!" threatened Shanna. Then a few seconds later, "but he is pretty good looking."

That sent everyone into a gale of laughter that only died down when Anna found the breath to announce their arrival at Amy's place—which happened to be one of those two story house/apartment complexes where there were a row of them all joined together. Amy normally stayed there periodically between acting jobs and since she'd been calling about getting together, they all knew that she would be at the complex until her next job.
