Chapter 7...Part 9

Friday arrived. They had rented a vehicle and packed all of their belongings in the vehicle. Every time they left the house for a day or more the guest wanted to make sure they packed up all of their stuff to take with them. This time everything had been packed in anticipation of moving. The guest said that when they returned they would all be moving into their new homes.

They left early that day to drive to Tooele. The guest was supposed to meet with John and finalize everything before they left Utah. The couple went to lunch and the guest called John to see if he was going to meet with them. John told him that he was not going to be able to meet with them that day. The guest asked him when he was going to get his money because now John was in charge of all of that. He told the guest that he would for sure have his money on the following Tuesday.

The couple was waiting for time for the girl to go to work. It was getting near time that they would need to get her back to Ogden. The guest told her that there was another way to get back to Ogden besides I-15. The girl racked her brain trying to figure out what that way was. In reality the guest tricked her. He told her which way to start driving. It wasn’t until they were headed on I-80 west that he told her there wasn’t any way to turn around until they got to Wendover. The girl was furious with him. He told her that if she turned around he would just go to California without her. The girl probably should have turned around but she decided to go with it. Once again the guest got his way because the girl gave in.

The couple drove all day and arrived in Reno late that evening. They stopped for dinner, medicine for the guest, and a shower at the Pilot then continued on. The drive ended up much longer than anticipated because they were detoured after Lake Tahoe. The couple never did find out the reason for the detour. They arrived at their destination early on Saturday morning.

This was when the drama started that would later leave the couple homeless. The guest and DK started having discussions about rules of their house when they received it. The guest told DK that John wanted a signed contract stating that they would keep the house in a certain fashion and that checks of the premises could happen at any time. DK was not happy about this situation. This discussion happened over breakfast.

After breakfast the couple was able to check into a hotel and laid down for some much needed rest.

After a rest the guest called his brother, Mitch, to work things out with the RV. He told the girl that he was going over to his brother’s house to work things out without her there. Truly the girl was thrilled to have the time to relax without him there and to get some more sleep.

The guest returned later and said that Mitch had loaned the RV’s out to family and that they would not return until Monday. Mitch said that he refused to call them and have them return sooner. When the guest asked him why he loaned them out when he knew they were coming to pick one up Mitch said that he didn’t believe they were coming so didn’t think it would be an issue. However he said they were going to dinner with Mitch and his family.

They went to dinner with Mitch and his family. Of course Mitch picked an expensive Japanese restaurant and the guest didn’t say that they couldn’t afford it so they ate an expensive dinner when they were already getting low on funds.

That night they got sleep and packed up on Sunday morning to head home. The girl asked if they should wait until Monday and take the RV home. The guest told her that he didn’t want to spend the money to stay when he didn’t know when they were returning so they should head to Vegas and meet with Mary. He said Mary would give them his Escalade and they could take it home.

So off to Vegas they headed.
