My hands and feet, as well as my face and ears were numb; but I found out where she lived!The place was several blocks off campus, in a residential area with new apartments. It had gone up a couple years ago. They were out of most college kid's league, but this is where she lived. I was glad to stop 'back. They were just like the white pair I just soiled a few hours ago.

We will meet tonight; same time and place, and remember that this is your last chance.” She finished the call and, with that, the telephone closed down completely. It had been a special.
