| (3 days later, Christie�s View) Howie was driving down a dirt driveway. We had hit Kentucky the night before & I was getting prepared to met Howie�s bandmates & friends. We pulled up to a nicely sized house. Four men were sitting on the porch puzzled about the van. Howie stopped the van, turned it off, stepped outside, & made a joke toward the men on the porch. �I surrender,� he said. The men laughed & came up to Howie. They were to busy talking so they didn�t seem to notice me. Within 5 minutes the man with all the tattoos on his arms asked who the cute chick was. �That is Christie,� Howie answered �Kara�s mother.� The four men seemed to be shocked. One of them finally spoke up & introduced himself. �Hi I�m Kevin,� The others slowly followed. �I�m Brian.� �I�m A.J.� �I�m Nick.� �Well,� I said �It�s nice to know that there are faces to the names of the people Howie said were going to help us.� They smiled & we were invited inside. I grabbed Kara & the puppies. We walked inside. A young woman walked out of the kitchen & hugged Howie. �Howie it�s so good to know you & Kara are OK.� A little boy came out ran over to Kara. They talked quietly among themselves. I was introduced to Kristen, Kevin�s wife, & their son Kevin Jr. or Little Kevin as Kara likes to call him. I also met Brian�s parents & brother Jackie, Harold Senior, & Harold Jr. After a well-cooked lunch we decided to head out & continue our journey. I found out Kristen & her son were also coming. Howie & I warned her that it was dangerous, but she said it would be better for them to come along so I wouldn�t be stuck with 5 men & Kara wouldn�t be bored. Finally we agreed & began to pack up. |
