There were no other cars on this street. I supposed I could get out an wander behind them on foot. Nobody walked in Reno. It was worse than L.A. Hotter. And while it wasn't hot at the moment, 6:30 still qualifying as early morning, a single man strolling even a half block behind the little family would be noticed at the very least and suspicious at worst.

I quickly popped it into gear and drove to the end of the block where I hopped out and started walking. I didn't make the turn. I walked straight across the street.
