ESCAPE FROM THE MOUNTAINS (18)

"Well, Ma'am, here we are.  At the office.  That will be twenty-nine dollars and fifty cents, please"

"I need to talk to your boss." Edie said. "Could I go in the office?"

The driver looked at her funny like to say, 'yea, how are you going to do that?'

"If someone could bring out a chair with wheels on it, I could be rolled in."

The driver stood there with his mouth open.  What a good idea, he thought.  This lady is smart.  She won't let her problems get her down.

A man named Ted came back with an office chair and his boss, Melvin, who was his brother.  Melvin needed to see where his chair was going, first off, then what was this story Ted was telling about a woman with no legs, no wheel-chair, out in the mountains, running away from her brother --and she was in the cab.

After the introducing, Ted and Melvin got Edie into the chair and wheeled her into the office.  Melvin's wife was there.  They introduced her as Alice.
