"Unbelievable," I whispered, the word barely escaping my lips. My face burned, and I felt a tremor run through me. My car was *gone*. Towed from my own driveway. I stood there, frozen, the world seeming to blur around the edges.

I wanted to smash something. To scream. To unleash all the pressure that was building inside me. I wanted to see the person responsible and unleash hell.

I clenched my fists. Fine. I would deal with this. I took a deep breath. I walked back into the house, my steps heavy. It was going to be a long day.
