We called the rental office and asked for their neighborhood pick up, and she refused, telling me that her boss said no, but then telling Miranda that she just didn't know the area. All in all she refused to let us talk to her boss and hung up. The office was in Gastonia, which was quite a ways away, but we got our first break when I was able to pay the maintenance man at the hotel to drive me to the budget office to get a car.
So 15 miles away the lady at the office tried charging us an extra $200 and just as I stormed out of her office, I saw the maintenance man drive off. So once again I was separated from my friends and hopeless. Just as I was about to hit the bottom the clouds parted and a heavenly light filled me with warmth as I got a message from Jason saying he would come rescue us from this hell. So in the 5 hours of travel time, I walked as far as I could and Miranda and Alex amused themselves in a small town Wendys.
