I have added a new caricature, (pictured) her name is Maxine Farraro. Enjoy!

Rod could hear a female voice, he slowly opened his eyes, he was in a white room with a big bay window overlooking Tokyo, the sun was

glimmering and making the room seem as if it were the light source itself. Rod blinked his eyes to clear his vision, he felt very groggy as he

scanned the room he realized that to his left where there was a nurse checking his IV and reading his vitals. "Hey?" he whispered, his voice

was hoarse, "where am I?" the nurse did not reply, she wore a frown and when she finished what she was doing she turned up her bumper

and drove out of the room. Rod was a little disturbed by her reaction to him but then he remembered his escape attempt and understood her

angst towards him, now he was all alone in that white room, 'damn it! How do I get myself into these messes' Rod was beginning to worry,

he was not used to being in a situation where he wasn't in control, but recently that had been the case, Rod was in deep thought when the

door knob began to giggle and the doctor entered the room, "ah Mr. Redline, your awake. I'm Dr. Lucas, you were in pretty bad shape when

you arrived, I performed your operation…" Rods eyes widened, he cut the doctor off "Operation?" "Yes, we had to pull you engine block and

replace it, but the operation was successful and you should make a full recovery. Do you have any questions?" Rod just stared at the ground;

it was a lot to take in. "Doc?" "Yes Mr. Redline?" "I wanted to apologize for trying to escape, you don't know what I was going through before

I came here" the doctor smiled "it's all right, I was an Army Surgeon years ago, that was a pretty common occurrence then but I have not

seen that in a long time, your reaction was very rare… Do you need anything ells?" "winning lottery numbers" Rod managed a tired looking

sheepish grin, the doctor chuckled, "well, just to make sure you don't have another "episode" we are keeping you under light sedation, you

won't be able to get up and you will feel like you want to sleep." Rods eyes widened, that's why he has not been able to shake that tired

feeling. 'This is not good, if the lemons realize I'm alive they may try to find and kill me and I won't be able to stop it.' The doctor noticed the

look on Rods face change, 'something was up with this guy, but what?' Just then the nurse came in, "Mr. Redline has a visitor!" she said with

a smile on her face, she entered the room fallowed by a cute little silver blue Maserati Granturismo Sport. "Your wife is here!" Rod looked

confused, "My wife?" he said under his breath, the doctor smiled at Rod "well we will leave you two to talk, she's a very dedicated car, you

should be proud that you have someone that cares about you so much." The doctor and nurse turned and left. The blue car smiled and

looked at Rod; he looked away with a frown on his face and sighed, "If you're here to kill me than just get it over with." "What are you

talking about? I saved your life, why would I want to kill you?" she said as she let out a giggle. He turned and looked her in the eye, "you

what?" "I saved you." She said with a smile, "I found you in that where house and brought you to the hospital." "You were the blue car I

saw." He said quietly and obviously in deep thought. "So the CIA got my message then?" "What?" "The CIA, sent you to find me right?"

"What are you talking about" Rod realized she was serious 'oh shit, I've just blown any bit of cover I had' "Um, nothing. I just thought you

were someone ells. Don't worry about it. So why were you at that god forsaken warehouse any way?" He said in a serious tone. "Oh! Where

are my manors, my name is Maxine Farraro, I'm a realtor, I have been trying to sell that building for a while but I have had problems with

break ins and so I went to put new locks on the doors and there you were. If you don't mind me asking…" Rod cut her off quickly "I mind" his

words were sharp but he kept his gaze on the floor, Maxine looked down, "I'm sorry… but who are you?" Rod was silent for a moment, "I'm

Rod, Rod Redline." Her smile returned, "Nice to meet you Rod. Oh and sorry about the howl wife thing, they wouldn't let me see you unless

me were related or married" He looked back up at her with curiosity in his eyes. "Why did you stay?"

Hanger. :)
