On the freeway, their station wagon suffers a flat tire, and they are picked up by a tow truck driver, "Handsome" John Pruitt, who offers to pay for the tire when Chris realizes that she left her purse at the Andersons'.

Reaching their hideout in the South Side, the kids realize that they have stumbled upon a multi-state car theft operation.

They leave when Joe Graydon (the operation's second-in-command), and their boss, Bleak, arrive in the club, whose owners stall them.
