Part 14: San Diego some more.

So speaking of secret identities, Steve Martin is also a Naval Commander. H=
e had 174 crew available on an off day which today was likely to be. Clemen=
te would be busy, San Diego would probably just be on-call for any larger q=
uakes. They'd want the ships in too in case of tsunami activity. He asked t=
hem if they'd like to do some training. One of the guys that transferred fr=
om Hueneme asked if they could cuss on this training. Steve smiled, and sai=
d "Up Yours." Bruce Willis spoke loudly, "It's Fight Club, gentlepeople."

Over 150 people grabbed their caps and ran for the beach. ^50.

Steve made sure they heard as they left, "They're bringin' some ladies too.=
 Be nice, most are higher ranks than you."

Part 15: The Feral Kid.

Molly: "No, I don't wanna see the strippers by the naval base after Fight C=
lub."
Ed: "When you working"
Also Ed: "OWWWW!"

Molly: "Just haul ass in to the back parking lot. Fishtail and burn to call=
 any stragglers."
Ed: "OK. I won't sue for you pinching the hell outta me."
Molly: "You're the worst lawyer ever."
Ed: "Hold on to the strap."
<Skids into the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu parking lot and burns the tires.>
Ed: "There's the Maulers, Annie and Rhonda ride with us. They aren't titans=
."
Molly <Looking in the passenger side mirror.>: "Did you ever see 'The Road =
Warrior?'"
Ed: "Only about 500 times."
Molly: "The Feral Kid's comin' up behind us."
Ed: "He's over 20."
Molly: "The actor that played him. But dressed as him."
Ed: "This is gunna be a good one."
The Feral Kid walked up. "I'll give a bottle of hooch for a ride to Fight C=
lub."
Ed: "Cash or carry, Buddy."
Feral took off his backpack. It was purple. 1.75 liters. Crown Royal.
"There yah go. Can I smoke in the car? Fuck the seatbelts."
Ed: "Hold on. Left passenger's broke" (He indicated with his thumb) "and I =
want this lady on the outside passenger. Get the door for the ladies."=20
2 gals built like Margaret Cho climbed into the back seat. Molly followed. =
"Gimme that bottle." And she hoisted it outta Feral's hands.
Ed: "Save some Molly."
Molly: <glug, glug, glug> "Too late."
Again Molly: "Kidding."
Ed: "Pass it to yah girls, I don't want 'em to have to carry you in."
Molly: "Nope! Yah tried that on me before. Then you threw it out the window=
. MINE!"
Again Molly: "I'll pay for gas." and she pitches a $20 up. 1hr 10.

Part 16: Ann's Call.

OK. In most skirmishes with reinforcements, 1 call is allowed. The reinforc=
ements generally don't get another call until they get to a place to strike=
 or sortie from. That isn't written in stone, but it's how it usually plays=
 out. Here's Ann's. She picked up Amy's handheld cell just after they went =
into the McDonalds. She called Debi Diamond who lived in Santa Monica, but =
had been partying in Vegas since her Adult Video News Female Performer of t=
he year award on January 8. She's also who Ann was going up to investigate =
rumors of intimidating women backstage at the event by event organizers.

"Debi. This is Ann. All hell is breaking loose here. We're at the McDonalds=
 on Nordhoff and Reseda. Call me on Amy's for now."

Part 17: Debi's End
She's at a unnamed Hotel pool. Her team except for the 19 guys and gals she=
's umm=E2=80=A6 entwined with consists of 180 film industry professionals i=
ncluding support team and legal. They're a mobile studio of sorts=E2=80=A6 =
often released under Caballero Home Video. Jason Bateman's idea, before he =
played Jason Bateman. They had a fleet of matching BMW E28 M5s there were o=
ver a hundred of them, so they'd sent a few to Ann's team to pay for occasi=
onal legal bills after Debi won the AVN award. Especially regarding piracy =
of her work.

7 cars sped from Deb's hotel to Caesar's Palace. They're leaving in 20 minu=
tes from Caesars. 15 to the 210. A 4 hour 20 minute trip. On most days. We'=
ll be checking back with them later.

Part 18: Ann calls Feral
"Sup Ann." He had Caller ID.
"Look, there are a bunch of assholes comin' up from South Coronado. Would y=
ou be my spy? Free legal for life."
"Plus a quarter-cask of Laphroaig"
"Since you only need to get your side-bets on Gibson's royalties usually, I=
'm good"
"Deal. Where?"
"The Brazilian Jiujitsu near you!"
"I'm there. Total expenses, mebbe a new costume, and 1 handle of Crown Roya=
l."=20
"Noted"
