 I dreamt the waterfall fell out from underneath me.


When I woke up . . . 


It HAD.


Just been a dream.

Chapter 2

2. "Today Was A Good Day" bumps through the windows as Tyler rattles the jammed driver door open. "We gotta find Ngoc Ngoc." Traci stammers hastily as Tyler reclines back in the seat. "Whatta ya mean," Tyler queries, "you said Melissa wasn't there only Shamrock." "I know" Traci fumbles grasping for worry words, "but if she didn't come home maybe Ngoc Ngoc got held up by the same people who came after Shamrock." "You haven't been able to get ahold of her?" Tyler follows along. "Is there something I missed talking with the officers?"
