“I can’t fucking believe this,” Sandy said for the third time in ten minutes. “We’re locked up in Scotland fucking Yard! Over some hotel keys and a fucking hair dryer!”

Joan and I were the only ones who’d been collecting the hotel keys. Sandy really had forgotten to leave that single key behind. And the hair dryer? That was just ridiculous! But no matter how silly it seemed, the fact was that the three of us were now locked up. Lita and Jackie were sent off with Scott and Kent to try to figure out a way to get us out. Sandy and I were in a stark, cold holding room with a set of dirty-looking bunk beds and concrete floors. There were no windows. When they first booked us, we had to sign a bunch of papers, get photographed, fingerprinted, the works. One of the female officers tried to do a strip search of us but I screamed, cried, and made such a fuss that they decided to forget it. Finally we were allowed to call our families. I stood there, holding the plastic receiver up to my ear, muttering “Please pick up . . . Please pick up . . .” to myself. On the sixth ring, Marie answered.

“Marie! It’s Cherie!”

“OH MY GOD!” Marie screamed. “We were just watching the TV, and they’re showing this movie called Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway and, like, CAN YOU HEAR THAT? They’re playing ‘Cherry Bomb’! No shit! Man, this is so cool . . . DAD! DAD! Cherie’s on the phone! She’s calling from England!”

“Please! Marie! Listen to me! I’m in jail!”

“. . . DADDY! YES! IT’S CHERIE! OH MY GOD!” She was so excited to have me on the phone that she wasn’t listening to a word.

“Listen!” I repeated. “I’m in jail! I’m in jail! I’M IN JAIL!”
