Carrie-- is not nearly so fast, and it seems like he's getting closer, but then she remembers that she very much does not want to be around this person with a revolver and she manages to escape.

"What was that? Who was that?? Where did he come from!? Should we go back to the hotel? What if he knows how to find us there? What if we lead him back to everyone? But what if we need to warn them!?"

Permalink

"Who shoots at people in a residential neighborhood???"

Permalink

Several of the neighbors have the same question. They hear someone saying "did someone set off fireworks?"

Permalink

"Should we... call the police?? This is insane."

Permalink

"I- the last ones did follow us back to the hotel? Maybe??"

Permalink

People shooting guns in upscale residential neighborhoods during the day with no provocation is NOT how things are supposed to work!

Permalink

Who does that!!!

Permalink

Who does that!!?

This is very much not the allowed thing to happen! !!!

unless he like almost everyone else they've significantly interacted with in LA just does not understand how people are supposed to behave

"Okay so like. Normally the thing to do when someone attacks you is call the cops. I have at least one cop friend. We could.. make a report to him? I don't know if this is the normal call the cops about it sort of attack but I really have very little idea what else to do."

Permalink

"- Yeah this is probably the sort of thing where one is supposed to call the police, especially if you know an actually trustworthy person there?"

They find a phone booth and call Walter.

"Sorry to contact you again so soon. We were at the corner of Fifth and Rose when some guy came out of nowhere and hit me. He had a gun, we ran. He started shooting like crazy. We think we got away from him but we're pretty shaken up. I could give a description, if it would help? A bunch of other people came out of their houses, someone else might have seen him too. Sorry, I'm not really sure how giving reports to the police is supposed to work, I've never been shot at before."

"I could use a description," Walter says. "And it's fine, we're used to taking reports from people who are upset."

Permalink

"He was white... late 30s maybe? Clean shaven. He was wearing a suit... it was dark grey. He had a fedora, with a dark band. He was taller than me, but everyone is. I'm not sure how tall. He had a revolver."

Permalink

Walter asks a few questions about the description and then says, "Sounds like Jack Pizner. Private investigator. What's he playing at?"

Permalink

"I have no idea. He shot first and asked questions never."

Permalink

Walter asks some more questions and then says, "I will file a report. We're going to look into this."

Permalink

"Thank you Walter. I owe you a million."

Carrie wants to look at records to see if she can find Buchwald but also she wants to hide in her hotel room in bed in her jacket except for how she doesn't want to lead him back there.

Permalink

Zoe, who has been having a VERY BAD TIME, goes to a gym to do some corde lisse. 

Permalink

Carrie doesn't want to leave her alone and she don't want to be alone. She finds a quiet corner to curl up in and watch while wearing her jacket that has many pockets.

Permalink

Sorry Carrie. She'll try to make it pretty?

Permalink

Zoe and Carrie return back to the hotel via a needlessly confusing route, tell the concierge that they were attacked earlier and not to tell anyone they're there, and lock the door. 

It occurs to Zoe that doing corde lisse immediately on an injured shoulder is not the best for healing. She takes a hot bath when she gets back to their room, and tries to apply a bandage from her first aid kit. They're normally for sprains but it might help with this sort of swelling too?

Unfortunately, it is hard to apply a bandage to your arm when you need to use your arm to apply a bandage.

Permalink

Carrie is by no means an expert at first aid, but at least she has the use of both arms?
