Starke walked over to his computer. And hit the button that would boot it up, and hit the button that would boot it up, and waited, he got on line and started checking the various chat rooms, there wasn't a lot of activity because people are still at work but later towards evening it would pick up and then he will find them.

What was it Candee said about this guy? She knows him from the newsstand where he works and she makes small talk with him occasionally, since she works at the paper and the two jobs are related, and on weekends this guy drives cars in the demolition derby at the local racetrack, yeah that's the hook I'm looking for.

This gal must be nuts about this macho crap, and he brags about his wins in the chat rooms, and then he chats with Candee because he feels he knows her, and the other girl gets jealous because she feels she's being ignored.

Well I think I've got that much figured out, Starke thinks as he sips his second cup of coffee since lunch which consisted of pretzels and a chunk of cheese, it seems that's about all he ever has time for, never a proper lunch, oh well, he looks forward to mom's leftovers for dinner all the more, without that he'd be skin and bone, he thought and laughed.

He shut the PC down and went out to sit on the old porch swing for awhile after all that's what down time is supposed to be about some relaxation and that's what he intended to do for the rest of the afternoon. It was a beautiful spring day, and he was grateful that he got to live in the serene wooded area outside of the city proper, and take in all that nature had to offer. He did some updating to the cabin to make it a comfortable home for himself, and he found a

Certain peace there if not complete happiness but, he felt all that was about to change, since the night he met a certain lovely lady for a cup of coffee. He got comfortable and dozed off, he awoke with a start as a bird screeched nearby, and he looked at his watch it was 4:30, and he was getting hungry, he went in and got his leftovers out of the frig. Put some in the microwave set the timer and went in for a shower; he had to eat and get down to some serious business. Starke sat down at his computer and booted it up, he got on the net and clicked into a chat room, he searched the user names and didn't feel the right ones were in there so he moved on, sure enough he hit on the user name of Demo Man, he had a good feeling that this was the guy he was looking for so he tuned into the conversation, Demo Man said I like to smash up cars, Guard Dog says, no way man, I'm glad I don't live in your town, no stupid I mean on a race track. Guard Dog, hey man I'm a lot smarter than you think, yeah whatever.. Starke thought well this is my guy now I've got find her or find out who she is?
