Iâll kill you for sure,â he warned Pep, staring into her eyes. âThat includes your parents. Do you understand me?â
âY-yes!â Pep stammered.
âWe wonât tell anybody,â Coke said.
Dr. Warsaw opened both locks and stumbled out of the room sobbing, inconsolable. He was a broken man.
Coke and Pep pushed open the doors of their vapor cabinets. They were weak and a little wobbly, but they managed to stumble out of the room and downstairs to the front desk. The woman who had greeted them was still behind the counter.
âDid you see a weird-looking guy wearing a suit and tie?â Pep asked breathlessly.
âNo, why? Is he okay?â
âNo, heâs crazy,â Coke told her. âHe must have snapped.â
âMaybe he climbed out a window,â Pep guessed.
They considered giving chase, but thought better of it. Dr. Warsaw was gone, hopefully forever.
Pep remembered that her motherâs birthday would be in two days, and she dragged her brother into the little gift shop to look for a present. A package of soothing bath salts seemed like a good idea. She also bought a little refrigerator magnet in the shape of Arkansas. Pep had just finished paying whentheir parents came in. Both of them were beaming.
âMy Swedish massage was fantastic !â Dr. McDonald enthused. âI feel like Iâm floating.â
âI feel like Iâm five years younger,â said Mrs. McDonald. âDo you kids feel more relaxed now?â
âNo!â they barked simultaneously. âCan we get out of here?â

Chapter 9
THE JOY OF ARKANSAS
A t this point, you might be getting a little bit angry because weâre eight chapters into the book and Coke hasnât been shoved into a spinning clothes dryer yet.
Donât you hate that? You open a book and the author promises you in Chapter One that one of the characters is going to get shoved into a spinning clothes dryer. Then you read and read and read, and Coke still hasnât been shoved into a spinning clothes dryer. You want to read about some good spinning in a clothes dryer, and youâre tired ofwaiting for it. You feel ripped off.
Again, dear reader, I ask for your continued patience. I said that Coke would be shoved into a spinning clothes dryer, and I promise you that before the end of the story, Coke will indeed be shoved into a spinning clothes dryer.
In fact, this book comes with a money-back guarantee. If, by the final chapter, Coke still hasnât been shoved into a spinning clothes dryer, you will receive a full refund. No questions asked.
For now, letâs get back to the story. In the car after leaving the Quapaw spa, Coke and Pep did their best to put the strange confrontation with Dr. Warsaw out of their minds. It seemed as though the guy had finally lost his marbles, and thankfully was in no condition to do anyone harm. But with crazy people, you always have to stay on your guard.
There was something about being in the car that made the twins feel safer. The RV had felt like a rolling prison. But the little Ferrari was almost like a steel cocoon that would protect them from harm. They felt private and free.
After some debate about whether or not they should visit the Arkansas Alligator Farm in Hot Springs (Coke was the only one who really wanted to go), the McDonalds decided to âblow this pop standâ instead.
His mind and body refreshed, his pores fully opened, Dr. McDonald was so relaxed that he decided to turn off the GPS. He put the car in drive, and just drove. The compass said they were heading WEST , and that was good enough for him. Soon the family found themselves on Albert Pike Road, also known as U.S. Route 270.
There are more than 53,000 square miles in Arkansas, and there are a lot of
