I guess I knew that none of the 6 ransom notes would be any good. It was impulsive to take the bike, and even more awful and impulsive to turn to The Bad Guys to make my point. Charlie & Colin are dangerous men. They were licking their chops at the thought of breaking Dave's knees over this. But crafty they are not...Charlie is connected and I don't want this to go too far. As far as I know Colin and his wife don't hang out with any more of those ecoterrorists. But suddenly I'm realizing maybe he just happened into a good cause where he could apply his shady underworld behavior. He was sort of gently humming Kenny Rogers under his breath today. God, I just realized it was The Gambler. I'm a little frightened that I haven't seen David. I suppose he's trying to come up with the money, somehow. I should of thought of the repercussions.
