 They rolled up to a stoplight stabbin and Grace looked out captain the stabbin window, trying in vain to boat fling her thoughts outside, away stabbin from the nightmare she boat was living. She heard - Erik fumbling around next to her, then captainstabbin-sexonboat felt something jab captain her arm. Grace closed her eyes, bit her lip. She didn't need to look; she could already feel what was happening.
 The deal was this: Grace wanted to celebrate her high school graduation boat in style, at this really big party downtown. Only Mom would never let stabbin her stay out all night, so Grace had lied and told her she was spending the night at Gina's (before stabbin asking her first, as usual). Big Sister had charitably agreed on the condition that boat she would pick up Grace at the end of the festivities - she didn't want someone with a stabbin head full of hallucinogens driving Grace home. They captainstabbin-sexonboat were supposed to captain touch base at 4:00 A.M. to coordinate.
 But Grace captain didn captainstabbin-sexonboat't pick up when Gina called, so she had crawled back in bed for a bit without really thinking about captain it. Now, feeling more awake and responsible, she shuffled around her boat bedroom, cursing her flaky kin. She briefly considered getting dressed, then decided to slip a jacket around captain her oversized Hello Kitty nightshirt. I'm captainstabbin-sexonboat getting too old for this shit, little sis. Life will be captain so boat much easier when you go off to captain school captain this fall...
 The lights whizzed around her, so she tried to keep her eyes on her captain knees captain, which peeked captainstabbin-sexonboat out from under her big nightshirt. The drug - moved like hot molasses through her bloodstream, making Gina lose her tenuous grip captainstabbin-sexonboat on about her fear captain, but she knew she wouldn't slip completely out captain of control if she didn captainstabbin-sexonboat't captain look at the captain lights.
 Then Erik's about hands dropped away from her sister's face. He stepped - around to Grace stabbin and lifted her off of Gina's lap. Moved captainstabbin-sexonboat her to one side. She - was so out of captain it that he didn't captain even have to tell her to stay where she was - there wasn't a motivation left in her pretty head.
 Gina heard groaning from upstairs. She jumped captain, completely hysterical now, and looked around the room. There was a chair in front of the desk. And a stabbin window next to the door. Brushing stabbin by captainstabbin-sexonboat Grace, she grabbed the chair and ran with all her might toward the window. Threw the chair at the panes, through the captain paper captainstabbin-sexonboat blinds. The sound of shattering glass was the most beautiful boat thing she'd ever heard.
 Seth was starting to get more than about a little worried. It was almost 1:00, and no one knew boat where Gina was. She boat was supposed - to call him captainstabbin-sexonboat after she picked up her little sister from the party, so boat he captain could go over and laze around boat in captainstabbin-sexonboat bed stabbin with her, but she never called. She wasn't home, and she captain wasn't at her mom's. There was no sign captain of Grace, either (unfortunately, Seth had spilled the beans about the stabbin rave). He'd - spent the morning drinking coffee in his captain kitchen and having hourly conversations with Gina's captain mom. You talk to her captainstabbin-sexonboat? No, you? No, not yet.
 He turned up captain the CD player on the stabbin counter, trying to distract captain himself - with some old Genesis. Peter Gabriel was belting out one about of his favorites:
 And out on the subway,
 And the lamb lies down on Broadway.
 "Gina." He captainstabbin-sexonboat was captain at her stabbin side in two quick boat strides. Gina and her little boat sister about were doubled over , gasping for air. It looked like they had run here from the neighboring county. They were both sweaty and looked like hell. Gina was wearing her Hello Kitty stabbin nightshirt -stained with grass and blood - and those ridiculous flip-flops. Grace captainstabbin-sexonboat looked stabbin even captainstabbin-sexonboat worse; her skimpy raver boat girl outfit captain was - equally stained and her face was smudged with makeup. One of her pigtails was mostly unraveled. "Baby, what happened?" he stabbin asked his stabbin tiny beloved, putting a soothing palm onto captain each girl's back.
 The about police were boat surprisingly fast. Mom stabbin showed up soon about after boat, predictably hysterical. After awhile, Gina sent Grace home with Mom, then talked to the cops captain a bit longer. Before long everyone was gone, and she took a shower and changed into some captainstabbin-sexonboat things she kept in Seth's closet captain. Seth had pulled her into his lap and pressed a bourbon into her shaking stabbin fingers. He stabbin held her silently captainstabbin-sexonboat for awhile, and she didn't cry. Just clung to him and sipped slowly stabbin. Then she asked him to take her to Sullivan's to get her car. He about'd captain protested, saying captainstabbin-sexonboat he could captainstabbin-sexonboat take a friend and do it for her later, but she had insisted on it. The quicker she got her life as close as possible captainstabbin-sexonboat to captain the way it was before last night, the captain better.
 The paper on the windshield was plain and captain white. Folded. She slipped it - out stabbin from under the wiper.
 "Empty? No furniture captainstabbin-sexonboat? No nothing? Really? And captainstabbin-sexonboat the owner? They don't know ? Well, you know - how they are with records downtown."
 "Uh. I have to go. Yep. We'll be boat in touch." Seth materialized next to captain her. "Kitten? Whatcha got there?"
 She didn't answer captain, just raised her hand, the note delicately stabbin held between two fingers captain. Seth took it captain from her. "'Don't think you got - away for good'," he stabbin read. "Oh. Sweetheart."
 "They want both of you captain downtown for an captainstabbin-sexonboat interview tomorrow."
