I'm sure people seen the light and figured what I was up to. I hurried up and covered my tits then sent the picture. John said I obeyed well and he wo...ld pick me up. He told me to walk to the main road by the train station, then turn left and walk for a few minutes until I get to Second St. I was to turn right on Second street.
