When they got to Visalia the guest said they should go and see his brother. They went to the house and indeed met his brother and his girlfriend. The guest told the girl that she was not to bring up what had been going on but that they were to tell his brother that they were down in that area to see a heart specialist.
They went out to lunch with his brother and girlfriend and ended up spending their last $20.00. The guest told the girl that he had picked up his credit card at his brother’s house and they would have money on Monday. It was Saturday then and they had to figure out what to do. The girl started to be confused because she thought the end goal was to get to Visalia. The guest told her that no, his brother and father live in Visalia but that he lived across the desert in Mammoth Lakes. Why was this never mentioned before? The guest insisted that he had told this to the girl and the girl decided to stop fighting about it and try to figure a way out of the situation.
Again she called a friend of hers. He ended up sending them money and this gave them a place to sleep for the next couple of nights with enough money that they could get some staples to eat with. The girl was getting good at finding good finds at the discount grocery store.
The weekend passed without chaos and they saw his brother again. His brother gave the guest a couple of boxes of things that had been his so they now had some extra clothes and a few other odds and ends. The couple spent the weekend in fairly nice comfort and the girl took some pictures and just enjoyed being off of the road and out in the beautiful fall California air.
When Monday came the girl was excited to get things taken care of. Finally this would be the day that they would get things done and would make it to the guest’s house. Oh, how wrong she was. The guest called on the card he had gotten from his brother’s house, there was no money on it. The guest swore there should be $600.00 on the card and that someone must have hacked into it and stolen it. Now they would be without any money and no roof over their heads.
They had some money left from the girls’ friend helping them out and the guest said that they should go ahead and go towards their goal. He had contacted a model friend of his who said that if they could get neared to L.A. where she was at a photo shoot and she would help the couple.
So back on the road the couple went.
