Ed and Diana pull up to the parking lot toll booth. An LAPD office and the parking attendant are chatting.\u00a0<\/p>

Ed tugs on the LAPD officer’s sleeve.<\/p>

“This woman was attacked,” begins Ed. “It happened as-“<\/p>

“Just. Get. Me. Out of here, now, ” says Diana to Ed.\u00a0<\/p>

“It’s alright, it’s alright. It’s all over. Take it easy,” says Ed to Diana.\u00a0<\/p>

“What happened?” asks the policewoman.\u00a0<\/p>

“They must still be inside. There were two of them,” says Ed to the officer. “One of them jumped on my hood. There was all of a sudden a big,” Ed gestures with his hands, “a face – – I didn’t really get a good look.”<\/p>

Noth- nothing happened,” interrupts Diana.\u00a0<\/p>

“What?” asks Ed.<\/p>

“It was my fault,” says Diana. “I mean, all they did was chase me. That’s all.”<\/p>

“Wait a minute,” says Ed. “What are you-“<\/p>

“Look,” says the policewoman,\u00a0 “I’m off-duty, so unless you\u00a0 want to file a complaint…”<\/p>

“No, I don’t want to file any complaint,” says Diana.\u00a0<\/p>

“But don’t you want to tell the officer – ” begins Ed.\u00a0<\/p>

“No,” says Diana, “could you please just take me home, okay? Please? Just get me home?”\u00a0 The officer moves away from the car.\u00a0<\/p>

“Ticket?” asks the parking attendant.\u00a0<\/p>

“Here,” says Diana, holding out some money. “Here, here, here, here.”<\/p>

“No, I’ve got it,” says Ed.\u00a0<\/p>

“No, no no, here,” says Diana, handing the money to the attendant. “Now go,” she says to Ed.\u00a0<\/p>

“That’s a twenty,” says Ed.\u00a0<\/p>

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” replies Diana, running her hands through her hair. “Would you raise the thing please?” she yells at the attendant.\u00a0<\/p>

The police officer looks at the two of them, while the attendant opens the gate.\u00a0<\/p>

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” repeats Diana to Ed as the gate raises.\u00a0<\/p>

They drive out of the parking garage and head for the airport exit on Sepulveda Blvd.\u00a0<\/p>

They drive through the LAX tunnel under the taxiway, as a Western Airlines 727 is towed over the jetway.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
