Roarke will get them a car so she can go tell her family. He's family, Rochelle works for him, and Lyle is Eve's. They go to a seedy part of town where the gang live. Had some words w three idiots. One threw a rock and it bounced off the car shield and knocked the girl out.

She met Crack in December, only been together a few months. Didn't hook up right away. Roarke offered her the job. They go tour An Didean. He comes back and chats w Caro. Then we follow him home.

All got their talismans. Gave updates
