A Call to Return: The Oxycontin Story Page #3

---

Doctor said we were lucky

you didn't hit an artery.

He said it was some kind of breakdown.

You were a whole different

girl after that, Joanna.

I couldn't control you, honey.

Control me?

Dad, it is not normal for an

I was trying to tell you

I needed help. I still...

I don't know... Wait a

minute, Joanna. Joanna, wait.

Joanna, just stay here with me

for a few days. Joanna!

Room?

Please.

$25 a night.

That's fine.

The bar down the street, do

you know what time it opens?

The one with the silos?

Red Bar? About 6:00.

Room Number 5. Upstairs.

Name's Bella.

Let me know if you need anything.

Okay.

Michelle, I found it.

Found what?

The bar. It's real. It was

in one of my old catalogs.

Where are you?

La Salle.

Okay, so that's how

you know it.

Hell, we probably drank there

when we were in high school.

It's not far from home, Jo.

I haven't been to La Salle

since I was little.

Then you probably remember the picture

and for some reason it stuck in your head.

No.

I knew what the inside looked like.

There's something else,

Michelle. Something happened here.

Whoa, hey!

You ready for that beer now?

How's it going?

You're pathetic.

Where you going?

Let go of me.

You owe me for Marlin.

Don't touch me! Come back

to the bar and have a drink.

Let go!

What? What?

Don't!

Stop it!

Come here. Come here.

No!

Come here.

No!

Come here.

What's up, dick?

No!

You stay away from her.

You've got a lot of nerve

coming back here.

They should have locked

you away a long time ago.

What did you say?

Quite a scuffle last night.

Yeah, sorry about that.

It's been a while since we've seen

anything like that around here.

That guy who helped me last

night. Do you know who he was?

Oh, he ain't anybody you

want to get mixed up with.

Why?

Well, look what he did to your friend.

He deserved it.

His name's Terry Stahl.

And do you know

where I might find him?

FM 13-16.

Thank you.

Hello?

Anybody home?

What are you doing? What

are you doing in my house?

I was looking for you.

I just... I came by to say

thank you for last night.

I'm sorry, let me start

this again. I'm Joanna.

There are better ways of thanking

someone than by breaking into their house.

I didn't break in, your door was...

I've had to deal

with intruders before.

You're lucky you didn't get hurt.

I'm sorry.

You know, if...

If that guys bothers you again,

let me know.

I appreciate it.

I work over at the cattle auctions.

Or you can always find me here.

Is something wrong?

There used to be...

Chimes.

I could have sworn that I heard...

I have to go.

Sunshine.

I looked all over.

There's nobody up there.

Joanna.

Buy you lunch?

So you like the road?
