Is there any sight more heterosexually delicious to a male predator than that of a Spawn desperate and afraid, walking all alone along a deserted road and clutching a phallic-shaped flashlight while she tries to flag down a ride? Get out of my rape fantasies and into my car! A pair of bikers zooms by to check her out. It's just so Charlene Tilton circa 1979. You know how they say that people can smell fear? Well, someone has to bottle this scent that Spawn is giving off right now. They can call it "Smell of Fear." Wear it and be assailable. For the upcoming holidays, they can offer a Christmas Bonus Pack that contains body lotion and eau de toilette and call it "The Gift of Fear" and have author Gavin De Becker endorse it. Finally a car slows down for Spawn. The male driver seems nice at first, and asks her where she's headed. Hey, whaddya know? He's going to San Jose too. Of course, they've got to stop at a 7-11 for some electrical tape and some latex gloves, but Spawn should be at Aunt Carol's in no time. Spawn is a little freaked that this guy is so enthusiastic to have her in his car, so she changes her mind and decides not to take the ride. Either that or she was skeeved out by how much he looked like Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20 when he opened the door and the interior light went on. Skeeve isn't taking no for an answer. He gets out of the car to persuade her to get in, and Spawn draws her gun on him. "You don't know how to use that thing," says Skeeve. Spawn pulls the trigger and takes out his window. The guy drives off, calling her a "bitch," and Spawn continues walking down the highway.
Kiefer finally reaches Palmer on the phone. They discuss where they should fly the B-O-M-B. The President tells Kiefer that they need to analyze their options, and he will get back to him in ten minutes.
NSA. All of the usual uniformed extras are at the big table. PoorMan'sHumeCronyn announces that he and Rolaide will do a "point/counterpoint" on the merits of flying the plane over the Pacific Ocean versus flying it over the Mojave Desert, with PMHC taking the ocean while Rolaide takes the desert. You know, if it weren't for the fact that they're discussing where to detonate a nuclear warhead, I'd say their little debate was cute in a Model UN sort of way. PMHC breaks down the disaster impact of flying the B-O-M-B over the Pacific Ocean: destruction of marine life, biodiversity, and the food chain, and the possibility of sea-faring casualties. Lynne does the same for the Mojave Desert, and concludes that, due to the desert's innate uninhabitability, there would be far less destruction of wildlife and/or people. "So it looks like the desert is our best option," says Palmer.
