This holiday started out great. It rained when we got in so bad that our Gps lost signal. So I am driving around with a basket case fiance not knowing where the hell to go. I turn down streets hoping that I will at least find the hotel by midnight. The plane ride was semi long, especially when we hit the layover extension in Vancouver because of rain in Seattle. You know whats the worst about a plane ride? A little kid behind you kicking your seat the whole way, next best thing is his father who has arms the size of my head. Really this was a great start.

After the last are we lost I finally lost it.

"Yes Liberty were lost. Is that what you wanted to hear?" She cowered a bit when I screamed at her. I hit the steering wheel and then the car started blinking, it slowed. Damn it not now not here. I looked down to the gas meter and we were out. Lady luck was not on my side.

"J.T why did we stop?" I looked to her.

"We have ran out of gas." I gave her a sarcastic smile.

"Why didn't you check it five miles ago when it started dinging." I didn't know that the dinging meant I was low on gas.

"Sorry for having a dinosaur for a car and not knowing the latest technology. If this thing is so high tech how come it didn't speak in a robotic voice saying we were low." I looked around, there was a gas station maybe three miles back.

"Well sorry you didn't pick the model, although you should of then maybe you might of known that we were out!" Our volume has risen a few notches.

"Stay here make sure I don't get any tickets or someone tows it away."

That is how I got out into the hot sticky pouring rain and began my walk. Once I reached the gas station I went to buy gas and handed him the money but he refused it.

"Whats wrong with my money?" I was tired, soaked and miserable.

"It's not American dollars." Shit, I knew I forgot something. I pulled out my wallet and searched for my credit card. It wasn't there. What else could go wrong? I wish right now I was back in Toronto.

"Can't you do anything man? My fiance is stuck on the side of the road with a rental car, I'm in a foreign country, give a dude a break?" I gave him the I'm sly kicked puppy face that worked on my friends.

"I cannot accept your money." There was a business man standing out side I walked out and over to him.

"Sir, can you help me out? I have money but I'm from Canada and it isn't valid here, my fiance is stuck on the side of the road, were trying to go see our son. I'll pay what ever the equivalence is but spare some cash?" He pulled out a huge wad of money and handed me a fifty and a business card.

"From Toronto right?" I looked to him, how did he know where I was.

"Yeah?"

"I was from there a few years back, needless to say I have a little girl who loved P.J J.T." I was shocked was an understatement.

"Really? How? I mean if you don't mind me asking how did you know who I was?" He smiled and pulled out a business card. I looked down and it read Ryan Coyne.

"My wife and I are separated, she has my two older children you may know them. Declan and Fiona?"

"Can't say I do sir, I graduated this year. But who is the cutie in the back?"

"This one is mine, recent marriage and all, Hey Samantha look who it is." The little girls face lit up.

"Ever around and need a job, I have acting opportunities available." My luck just turned into a jackpot.

"Really? Well I might have to contact you at a later date, thank you for the money how much do I owe you?" I looked down to the fifty in my hand.

"It's nothing don't worry about, just make sure you give me a call even if your in Toronto I can figure something out, with our sister network." I shook his hand and he got in his car and drove off, I went back in grabbed a gas can and ten bucks worth of gas, I smirked at the clerk when I walked back out, the rain was now only a mist but I walked back to the car the rain had completely stopped. I filled the car.

"What took you so long."

"Well not having my credit card, American money poses a problem here." She pulled out her purse and there was my credit card.

"Yah I forgot about that." I sighed. I figured I wouldn't tell her about Ryan, I got into the car and drove away realizing that the windows of opportunities was now wide open in my palms.
