	Ricardo's phone rings. "Hello?" Nathan: "Ricardo?" "Yes?" "You sound like Clyde." "Yeah, I had two bastards follow me home. I shot their damn truck." "Ah, yeah, you ''really'' sound like Clyde.

	A few moments later, Kef gets up from the table ("leaving those two lovebirds alone") and heads for where she had seen Orley earlier. Orley: "Ah! Clyde, Kef. Kef, Clyde." Clyde: "Nice to meet you, Kef." Kef inclines her head in acknowledgement, then bends and murmurs into Orley's ear. "I saw Vicki Zann in a van, on the way to the house." Orley: "Isn't that ahead of schedule? They've already changed it that much?" "I only know what I know." "Transporting them. Something happened to change the time schedule." "Orley, you're saying it out loud." "I know. Sorry. A little sloppy."

	Orley pulls out his phone and texts Nathan: "Situation changing, need access to house, timetable moved up." Kef shrugs and starts to turn away, and Orley quickly says, "Hey, if it's a fluid situation and things are changing, why don't you stick with me? And if it changes again, you can let me know. Constant feedback would probably help me." Kef doesn't reply, but stands there waiting. Orley stands up. Clyde: "I don't have a ride..." Orley: "Aw, you wanna swing one of your bats, finally, don't ya?" ~~Orley~~: "I did bring my own." Orley: "You might get to hit some baseballs tonight."

	Clyde explains that he doesn't want to leave his house unguarded, and gives Reggie some money to buy a new door and haul it back. He borrows Reggie's phone to call Nathan. Nathan: "Clyde, where are you? Are you still at police headquarters?" Clyde: "No, they let me go, I'm at home. My house has been ransacked. I just saw one of the guys that broke into my house ride by with a different driver. Can I give you this info and you can start looking into it so I can break those guys' kneecaps?" Clyde gives Nathan the partial license information. Nathan: "I figured this was a Kirk thing, but I didn't tell the detective that, because I wanted him to let you go." Clyde: "Well, thanks for that. Maybe I should have driven away after I hit those guys. I get carried away." Nathan will arrange to get Clyde's car out of impound. Clyde: "I'm not going anywhere until I get my house locked up and get some cameras." After returning Reggie's phone, Clyde finds one of his aluminum bats and sits down on his front porch.

	Nathan calls Detective Dallas, who says he sent Ricardo ~~Martinez~~ his way because "he wanted to clear his guys, and I don't do that -- I just get the facts." Nathan: "I have some information relevant to this case." Dallas: "What do you expect in return, Mr Detective?" Nathan: "Do you know the name of the guy that they were drinking with?" Dallas gives him the name Darren ("like in the witch show"), then teases "why should I give you [the last name]?" Nathan: "Are most of the guys you're holding construction workers?" Dallas: "Seven of the nine are. Two of the guys you took in the suite are not." Nathan then recalls that Earl Garrison had said he was gathering information for a Darren Young, and realizes that Dallas has no intention of telling him anything useful. Nathan states his belief that the incident at the hotel and the attacks on Clyde Wheeler are unrelated to each other. Kirk Wainwright is behind the attacks on Clyde. Dallas: "I've heard that name before. He's got a lot of money." Nathan: "Not as much as he did before he met Mr Wheeler. He got the beat-down twice" so these are 'grudge' attacks. Nathan mentions the passenger from last night having ridden by Clyde's house today, and Dallas admits "They made bail on the traffic counts" and there were no other charges they could make stick. "The video backs up your client's story -- he is your client, right?" Nathan: "He is now." Dallas: "[Clyde] did a lot of things that were stupid, that could get him locked up or killed." Nathan: "I told him that, but I think you made a bigger impression on him." Dallas: "I hope so, because he seems like an all right guy." Nathan: "I wouldn't go that far, either." Dallas chuckles, then says, "If it '''is''' Wainwright, he's pretty savvy. It's going to be hard to prove he had anything with this." Nathan: "I'm going to have to go visit Mr Wainwright." Dallas: "Be careful. He's got influence and connections, and a bad temper toward people who cause him problems. If anything happens, be sure you can prove self-defense." Nathan: "Don't worry. I understand my rights within the law."		Nathan calls Detective Dallas, who says he sent Ricardo his way because "he wanted to clear his guys, and I don't do that -- I just get the facts."

	Dallas: "Are you going to be able to help Hernandez?" Nathan: "Yeah, probably. I can't get into details because it's pretty speculative." Nathan gives Dallas the license plate number supplied by the kids in Frisco, saying it belongs to potential murderers, "and this relates directly to what you're dealing with now. ... Is it possible for Theo, if he is found to have been under the influence of drugs, to make bail?" Dallas: "I'll make the recommendation to the assistant DA." ("He's really good at countertops." "That's what Mr Hernandez said.") Nathan: "As long as it's by Monday morning." Dallas: "It's a long shot, Mr Rahl, but I'll try." They are searching for Darren Young, and surprisingly that is his real name, but if his scheme had worked there would have been no witnesses.		Dallas: "Are you going to be able to help Hernandez?"

	On his way home, Ricardo notices the small truck following him, some distance back. He pulls off to the shoulder as though he's having car trouble; before reaching him, the small truck turns onto a side road. It definitely has two people in it. Ricardo gets his work knife and tries to locate the small truck; a few minutes later, he sees it following him again. He turns opposite to the way that would lead to his house; the small truck continues to follow, keeping a block's distance though they must have lost sight of him several times, and Ricardo concludes that while he'd been paying for the motel room, they'd planted a tracker on his truck. He goes home and readies his shotgun.		On his way home, Ricardo notices the small truck following him, some distance back.

He goes home and readies his shotgun.

			After six rings, the phone is answered with a gruff "Yes?" "Randy. This is Nathan Rahl." "Yeah, okay." "Have you seen Lucy?" "Not all day." "So, you didn't kill her, right?" "No! I didn't! No!" "This call is being recorded for quality assurance. I'm just kidding, I couldn't help it. Sorry, Randy. But she's dead. So if you haven't seen her all day, you probably didn't kill her. It's gonna be in the paper tomorrow." Randy makes several inarticulate sounds of disbelief/denial; "No, it can't be!" "I'm calling to give you a heads-up, because whoever killed her is probably going to kill you, right?" "Uh, y-yeah!" "Okay, well, so you've been warned, right? I mean, I talked to her earlier and she said whatever this was is all your fault. And then I found her dead, later. I got your number off her phone."

			Something in Lucy's bag starts buzzing. Lucy carefully raises her hand away from the bag. Nathan continues: "I'm just trying to do you a solid, you know. You remember me, don't you? Remember when you got the elbow to the ribs?" "Yes, I do." "Do you remember the guy who told you it was time to leave?" "Yeah, I thought it was a cop." "Well, he works for me." "Okay." "So, do you need protection or anything? That's what I do." "No, I'm fine." "You sure?" "You sure she's dead?" "I saw her." "She's dead!" "After I shot her, she was dead." Silence.

			Nathan: "Now that I've kept you on this phone long enough, I know where you are. So I'll be seeing you soon, okay?" Randy disconnects.

			Lucy's phone had stopped buzzing, but a few seconds later it starts buzzing again. Nathan: "He called you, didn't he? If I had looked for you, I'd have found you just that quickly, wouldn't I, because of him, right? He's a moron, isn't he?" Lucy: "He's a devious and backstabbing SOB. He's actually fairly smart at what he does. But he'd give me up in a second to keep himself alive." "Oh, well. That was fun." Lucy, looking at Kef: "I'm going to try to stop lying to myself."

			Nathan: "Well. So. You're going to help me get the portfolio, and I'm going to keep you alive. Deal?" Lucy (voice just above a whisper): "It's a deal." "And you're gonna un-hack me. Okay?" "Well, I will -- yes, I will un-hack you. I-I've told Kef I don't do that anymore. I guess I could sell myself to provide security for people, though. That'll keep bread on the table." "Normally, I would offer somebody like you a job. But... I really don't trust you. So I won't offer you a job, but I need your help on this one right here. Just because I don't trust you doesn't mean you need to be killed. That's just harsh."

			Ricardo, sitting on his lighted porch with his shotgun in his lap, sees the small truck approaching. He aims and fires; glass shatters, and he growls, "Don't f*ck with Ricardo Hernandez!" The truck speeds away and does not return. Ricardo examines his truck, finds a tracking device, and smashes it.

			Clyde's enjoying his dinner and not sitting home alone for a change. Making conversation, he asks Orley about the younger woman, who he recognized from the pub. Orley: "I've seen her a couple of times, around Dallas. She's fairly well-known." "She's the tough one that knocked out the big guy at the bar." "Technically she didn't knock him out. She just knocked him off-course. Strategic hit at the right place and the right time." "That's pretty darn effective." "Yeah."

			Lucy: "When do I start? When do you start looking for this?" Nathan: "Oh, in about an hour. Right now I'm trying to figure out if they're going to attack you here in this public place, or if they're going to wait. I'm thinking they have a bug on your car." Lucy, confidently: "I don't think so. I went over that thing thoroughly." "Okay, if you say so." "I mean ''thoroughly''. If they have one, it's going to be one of those delayed ones, the only type I could've missed, but I'd say I would have gotten it." Kef: "Sure don't see many of those antennas around town." Lucy: "Yeah, it is a little distinctive. It allows me to have a full-range connection from wherever I'm at. Oh... maybe ''that's'' how they got me, and Randy ''didn't'' give me up. It's those little mistakes that'll kill me." Nathan: "I guess we're taking my car."

			Nathan: "So we're about to take a ride around Dallas." Lucy: "To keep moving? There are a lot of hot spots..." Nathan: "I'm not going to keep moving. I'm going home. You're coming with me. Kef, are you along for the ride?" Kef, finishing her lasagna: "No."

			A few moments later, Kef gets up from the table ("leaving those two lovebirds alone") and heads for where she had seen Orley earlier. Orley: "Ah! Clyde, Kef. Kef, Clyde." Clyde: "Nice to meet you, Kef." Kef inclines her head in acknowledgement, then bends and murmurs into Orley's ear. "I saw Vicki Zann in a van, on the way to the house."

"Yeah." "Do you think they'll come back to be shot again?" "Well, one way to find out, right?" "No, that's not it. Will you meet me up there?" "All right." "Hurry."

	As night falls, Ricardo and Theo reach one of the most heavily damaged neighborhoods in Wylie, where straight-line winds had torn roofs off of many houses. Toward the rear of the particular house in question is a small, lit Coleman lantern. There's a small pickup truck sitting in the driveway behind the house. Roberto knocks repeatedly on the front door, and eventually a man wearing jeans, a work shirt, and a light jacket comes around the corner of the house and says, "Yeah? Whaddaya want?" "Do you live here?" "No... we're squatting, we needed a place and nobody was here." "Well, the people who own this house, they see those lights, and they're blaming people like me. I work on these houses." "Oh, you're one of the repair crew. When's this house slated to be repaired?" "Soon. How many with you?" "Just me and my lady." "All right, get your truck and follow me, you can stay at my place." The man seems reluctant until Roberto adds, "Or you can stay here and get arrested." A few minutes later the man, driving the small truck and with a woman in the passenger seat, pulls up behind Ricardo's truck. Theo: "You're gonna trust them, boss?" Ricardo: "If they mess with me, I can handle myself."

	Orley and Clyde arrive at the restaurant. "Olive Garden, huh? Never heard of this one," Clyde ribs Orley, who retorts, "I know it's a little high-class for you. You baseball players don't get to see much of the world from a bus." "Yeah... don't remind me." (Way to go, Orley, hitting Clyde right in that sore spot.) Clyde: "What's the deal, is your boss going to be here or something?" Orley tsks, "You're a very suspicious man."		Orley and Clyde arrive at the restaurant. "Olive Garden, huh?

	Nathan: "Can they track you?" Lucy, after a moment: "No. I don't think they have anybody... well, I would have said 'they definitely can't' until she told me I'm dead in --" Kef: "Thirty-four hours, twenty-one minutes." Lucy: "So obviously they have some way to get me. I must have made a mistake, or am going to make a mistake. I'm not sure exactly. They know my sites, and they contacted me as Salmon-Run. Well, actually, a lot of this came through Randy. He's knee-deep in this, also. So the way I may be found is actually through Randy. I don't trust him. Kef called that completely right. I don't trust Randy at all."		Nathan: "Can they track you?"

			Ricardo returns with the key to the motel room. In his mind, things just aren't adding up. Ricardo: "So, you were squatting?" Man: "Yes." Ricardo senses that this is only part of the truth. "Why were you squatting there?" Man: "It was warm and safe and... and just looked like the perfect place." "Yeah, but what was the ''real'' reason?" Woman: "That ''was'' the real reason." Ricardo notices they are edging apart from each other, and orders, "Back together." Woman: "Hey, mister, just let us go. We're leaving your place alone. We don't want to cause you any trouble." "You're causing trouble by trying to live in someone else's house." Man: "At least you didn't turn us over to the cops. That's what we were afraid of." "I had to bail my damn worker out of jail. Just tell me the truth." The man reiterates: "We were squatting there because it was a safe place to be. Nobody pays attention to houses like that, with half the roof torn off..." "Oh, no one pays attention, so that's why I'm getting called by my boss from a customer getting mad at me." Man: "Okay, so we let the light shine into an exterior room. There are rooms that don't have any light at all..." "I could have called the police, I could have told them exactly where you were, you could be in a car right now going to jail. So do you mind telling me what exactly you were doing?" Woman: "That's what we were doing." "Eh, you look real nice to be squattin'." Woman: "W-we came upon hard times." "Yeah, but you've showered within the last day." Man: "The water isn't even on in that house... We have memberships in some places where we can do that for the rest of the month. But since this is the 1st, I guess those showers we took yesterday will be the last for awhile."

			Ricardo: "All right. You two have fun BS'ing. I'm going to talk to my boss, get more security in the neighborhood." Man: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, thank you." Ricardo gets into his truck and starts it up; glancing in his rearview mirror, he sees the couple gesturing as though they are arguing with each other. Ricardo calls the police to report "some very suspicious people" at the motel, explaining he had caught them trespassing.

			On his way home, Ricardo notices the small truck following him, some distance back. He pulls off to the shoulder as though he's having car trouble; before reaching him, the small truck turns onto a side road. It definitely has two people in it. Ricardo gets his work knife and tries to locate the small truck; a few minutes later, he sees it following him again. He turns opposite to the way that would lead to his house; the small truck continues to follow, keeping a block's distance though they must have lost sight of him several times, and Ricardo concludes that while he'd been paying for the motel room, they'd planted a tracker on his truck. He goes home and readies his shotgun.
