"To what do I owe the pleasure?" I asked.
"I need your car," she explained.
"I don't have a car," I said.
Well, That's not actually the truth, but even if I wanted to loan her my car, It doesn't work for an unknown reason.
"I saw your Deville in the garage"
"It's dead and by the way You have your own car," I pointed out.
She sighed. "Right, but the thing is that Jason have taken the keys of my baby -a yellow Chevrolet Camaro RSZ28- because He does not have his new car until the next Monday. So like I said, I need a car. Also, I need you to drive it, because I have to do eleven things tonight, and at least five of them involve a getaway woman."
She smiled at me and I started to doubt, She came to my house in the middle of the night, like we were the greatest friends that we used to be.
"Any felonies?" I asked.
"Hmm," said Alison. "Remind me if breaking and entering is a felony."
"No," I answered firmly.
" I won't help. Can't you enlist some of your underlings to drive you around?" Cece, Courtney or Mona use to follow her like puppies.
"They're part of the problem, actually," Ali said.
"What's the problem?" I asked.
"There are eleven problems," She said somewhat impatiently.
"No felonies," I said.
"I swear to God that you will not be asked to commit a felony."
I tried to deny her request, but then I realized that this night would be the last night we will spend together.
"Okay, but I want to know were we are going"
She smiled and grabbed hold of my shirt, whispered, "I see you in the garage" in my ear, and then climbed out the window.
She smiled and grabbed hold of my shirt, whispered, "I see you in the garage, your baby need a taper " in my ear, and then climbed out the window.
I took the keys of my old Cadillac Denville V8 from the bottom drawer of my desk and I went to downstairs.
When I came to the Garage I saw Alison in the passenger seat, smiling proudly.
It took me more than one minute to realize that the sound that filled the room was the engine of my car.
"How?" I ask her.
"It wasn't dead" She said "It just need someone who know how put everything in its place"
"I didn't know, you can to fix cars "
"There are a lot of things people don't know " She said "Even you"
I didn't get the double meaning of her words. What does it mean?
"I've got school tomorrow," I told her.
"Yeah, I know," Margo answered. "There's school tomorrow and the day after that, and thinking about that too long could make a girl bonkers. So, yeah. It's a school night. That's why we've got to get going, because we've got to be back by morning."
"I don't know."
"Em," she said. "Emmy. Darling. How long have we been dear friends?"
"We're not friends. We're neighbors."
"Oh, Christ, Em. Am I not nice to you? Do I not order my various and sundry minions to be kind to you at school?"
"Uh-huh," I answered dubiously, although in point of fact I'd always figured it was Margo who had stopped Noel Kahn and his ilk from screwing with us.
She blinked.
"Em," she said, "We have to go"
We ran along the side of my house and We start that crazy night. There was an uncomfortable silence between us for almost 10 minutes, before Alison started talking.
"The thing is they don't even really care; they just need me to be part of the "perfect family" that everybody see. But the truth is that i'm sick of being part of this farce."- She said with broken voice
I always knew Alison's family her family gave much importance to what others thought but I never thought that affected her that much.
"Are you going to tell me where we're going?"
"Well, first we're going to Rosewood Central. Because for reasons I'll explain later, I need you to go grocery shopping for me. And then to Wal-Mart."
"What, we're just gonna go on a grand tour of every commercial establishment in Rosewood?" I asked.
"No, But I need some stuff before the night turns funny" I pulled into the Rosewood Central then, the parking was completely empty except for a few cars which should belong to mall employees
"How much money do you have on you right now?"
I looked in the pockets of my jacket and my trousers.
"20 bucks,30 cents, a pack of gum and a clip" I answered. She took the pack of gum and pulled out of her pocket several hundred-dollar bills. "Fortunately, the good Lord has provided," she said.
"What the hell?" I asked.
"My grandma loves my adventures" "So every time you go to Georgia She pay you for telling her what you have done?" I asked very surprised.
I only have seen Alison's grandma once, and I can say that Alison is the youngest, craziest and most beautiful version of his grandmother
"Basically," she said, "Keep your eyes open Em, This is gonna be the best night of our lives."
