    Max goes to the impound yard, and finally gets the guard that he has a black Ninja 650 in impound, but it will cost 3,000 to get it out.  Max is gripping to her friends about her bike, and Herbals advice is to let it roll of, just like he's ignoring and old boyfriend of his wife's who's moved in with them.  Original Cindy's advice is to look in the classifieds for a used ride.  Max says that she doesn't want a used ride, she wants her bike, but looks thru the paper idly anyway.  She notices a number next to an ad, and gets up and walks out with a disturbed look on her face.  She goes to Logan and shows it to him, and tells him that it is her barcode number, and that only someone from Manticore would know that number.  She is convinced that it is another of the escaped Manticore children, even though Logan tried to warn her not to go.  She meets Folgalstine who tells her that another person from Manticore is in Seattle, and he has more info for 15,000.
    The next day, Normal fires Herbal for smoking marijuana in the bathroom.  Normal hires a guy named Sam who was around looking for work and sucking up to Normal.
    Max comes looking for Logan to tell him what she found out, and to see if he can loan her some money, but he is out with shopping with Valerie.  Valerie is asking for money, and Max shows up and asks for money to pay off Folgalstine for the extra money, but Logan thinks it's too dangerous, and won't pay Max to get herself killed.
    Sketchy is talking to Herbal Thought, who is lamenting that his wife wants to be with this Winston who is staying with them.  Sketchy tells him that he should kick Winston's freeloading butt out the door, but Herbal says that he will just let it go, and trust the most high to work out the situation.
