Julie's neighborhood had a million Mexican babies running around in it. Some of the shoddy houses had been retrofit into shoddy apartments, with dead grass all around and metal poles for clotheslines in the "yards." Mona's guitar playing occasionally hypnotized a Mexi-baby, but never for long. Tough critics.
Mexi-mamas and other neighborhood folks just went about their business, nodding at her politely if they passed close.

When Mona ran out of tears and her face dried, she packed up her guitar and headed towards Rudi's house. She was starting to feel really hungry and thought about places she could stop on the way for a PopTart or something. She fidgeted with her guitar pick, rolling it between her fingers like a stage magician.

Mona's journey begins! She walks the streets of Parkville, a cheetah of some kind, heart filled with napalm.

Mona spotted "La Tienda la Sábana" on the corner. Her Spanish was atrocious, but she figured she could get something to eat here. The front windows were plastered with signs advertising international phone cards and money wiring services. A jingle bell on the door announced her entry. " Hola, chiquilla. ¿Te puedo ayudar?" "No. Gracias." She wasn't sure what he said, but it sounded helpful. Tinny salsa music piped through the tiny speakers mounted above the counter. The shelves were crowded with coconut drinks and mango nectar and hominy and canned menudo and the word tamarindo appeared far more times than it should in anything that would dare call itself cuisine. She saw a brightly colored shelf emblazoned with the Bimbo logo and a smiling white teddy bear. She searched it for something that looked edible and preferably somewhat filling. Gansito. Pinguinos. Submarinos. Sponch. Polvorones. Barritas pina. Rollos con Cajeta. The Pinguinos were clones of the generic chocolate Hostess cupcake, so she got one of those and a pint of leche entera from the cooler. She paid the man with the money she had in her pocket. " Gracias, señor." " De nada, chiquilla. Happy Halloween." He smiled harmlessly as she left. She situated her guitar on her back and tore into the Pinguinos as she walked. Attachments:

Mona saw Jesse Bagger and Jessica Hiddle in the parking lot outside! Jesse was pushing a shopping cart around with Jessica in it.
Jesse- "AAAAGH! You keep stealing my food!"

Mona wasn't about to confront the burgeoning psychopath alone. She ducked her head and moved quickly in the other direction.

Mona remembered that Jesse was affiliated with the drug clique that was affiliated with the prep clique that included that NAZI dude... Maybe he'd be less violent with the weird girl present and she could get some info? Or maybe hide and follow them around? Or not.
(GM curiosity - Does Mona think the drug that makes one trip is the same one that makes people die? It's relevant to whether she sees her own life as possibly ending at any given second.)

Mona thought Psycho boy would be a good source of information, but she was way too scared to approach him. He was so big he could totally kill her in a split second. If only Rudi was here with her slingshot. If only she could have found her dad's gun. She new he was friends with the druggie guy that sold to everyone. Hell, he might have been the one who drugged everyone. That seemed just like the kind of twisted thing he would do. She snatched up a broken beer bottle and charged over to where Bagger stood with his girlfriend. "Hey!! You!... Jerk! Why'd you do it?! Why'd you hurt all those people?! Why'd you hurt Julie?!" Her body shook violently. " Why'd you kill Julie?!" She brandished the broken bottle boldly.

Rudi did a double-take. Was Mona brandishing a broken bottle? Her Mona? The Mona who always arrived at school early (seriously, who did that?) That brutish idiot must have antagonized her! "Whoa! What's this?" She ran to Mona's side. "What did he do? Wait ... he killed WHO?"

"BITCHES ARE MAGNIFICENT CREATURES, YOU SHIT FOR BRAINS!" Clearly, Rudi takes offense to people who insult the honor of female dogs.
