Just before dawn. The air is still cool, but Ana can sense how muggy and hot the day will soon become. She double checks to make sure her door is deadbolted, shoulders her Jansport, yawns, and climbs into her car.
A few minutes later, her little import pulls up in front of the Blue Moon. She honks "shave and a haircut" and waits a beat, and then out walks a short, curvy blonde. "What took you so long?" "I thought it would be rude to wake up before Helios." "Smart ass." "That's my job!" Ana smiles and winks, simultaneously tapping the gas, forcing the blonde to run forward a couple steps as she tries to climb into the car. "You know, they don't stand for stuff like that back in Charleston!" "Yeah. That's why you came to visit me here."
The blonde tosses her backpack into the backseat and plops into the front. "Well, what are you waiting for?" The car screeches forward, then stops abruptly, jolting the passeger several inches closer to the dashboard. "For you to put on your seatbelt, dummy. You're not immortal, you know." The blonde smiles and dutifully buckles her seatbelt. She pops a cd in the player and presses play. Warren Zevon starts singing out of Ana's speakers. "On, Jeeves!" Ana turns out of the parking lot and heads off on the road to the Alabaster Aerie.
