“EEEEHHHHH,CAPITAN,TELL ME.WHY—       EXACTLY WHO ARE WE PEALING
         WITH?” I ASKED.CAPITAN CLEARED HIS THROAT.
         
           “I HAVE TO GO BREE.REPORT IN SOON.BYE.” THE PHONE WENT DEAD IN
         
         MY COLD HAND.I SLAMMED IT DOWN AND OPENED THE PAYPHONE DOOR.

         THE PAYPHONE NEXT TO MINE.HE SHUT THE DOOR AND PICKED UP THE
         
         RECEIVER.I GLANCED THROUGH THE GLASS.

         AND PULLED OUT A QUARTER.I OPENED MY PURSE AND GOTHY SCARF OUT.
         
         I TIED IT AROUND MY BLACK HAIR AND PUT ON MY SUNGLASS.I SAW TODD
         
         TURNING AS IF HE~ KNEW SOMEONE WAS WATCHING HIM.I PICKED UP THE
         
         RECEIVER AND LISTENED FOR THE DIAL TONE.
