A shed into a tree, she thought. It should be the other way round. Maybe the accident caused me to enter a parallel universe where everything happens in reverse.

Bert, the barkeep, asked Joe to send someone to pick up Ed (who was three sheets to the wind); and Bert promised Joe that he'd never called Uber to the bar, and wouldn't unless the cabs were all busy and the patron was in a hurry--or in an emergency.

Cynicism has blighted Bert's personality on many fronts, owing, perhaps, to his still secret genetic heritage being shared with Joe and Giovanna, dating back to a fifteenth century papal "nephew" in Italy.

Dinged fender notwithstanding, the car was still in running order, and when Giovanna regained consciousness, she pulled away from the tree, and sped gleefully down the road, knowing that Ed's Amex (also purloined) would pay for the repairs.

Stress was something Ed had never borne well, evinced in his goring of the ODAS twerp as he exited the bar, bellowing into the desert night in a confusion of rage and lust, "Giovanna!!!" [ 14. May 2017, 17:18: Message edited by: Pangolin Guerre ]

"Anna, actually," said the just-arrived cabbie, getting out of the cab, gently calming Ed, and carefully depositing him in the backseat; then, settling into her straw-mat covered seat, she adjusted the rear-view mirror, looked in it (past the prayer beads), saw the sorry state of her passenger, then brightly said, "Ok, boss, where're we going?"

"Eat something," said Giovanna to herself, waiting in the reception lobby of Ferraris Fixed Fast; so she put down the reception copy of "Real Simple" she'd found (who wanted a simple life, anyway???) and wandered over to the vending machines, near the side door...and found she had no quarters.
