THIS WEEK’S HOSTS: David Forsythe and Todd Lucas from The Edge of Tomorrow MinuteEve has instructions for Roger.“Take the Greyhound bus that leaves Chicago for Indianapolis at 2:00 and ask the driver to let you off at Prairie Stop, Highway 41,” says Eve.“Uh-huh,” says Roger. “Prairie Stop, Highway 41. Good.”“It’s about an hour-and-a-half’s drive from Chicago,” says Eve.“Fine,” says Roger. “I’ll rent a car.”“No car,” says Eve. “Mr. Kaplan said bus. He wants to be sure you’re alone.”“All right,” says Roger. “What’ll I do when I get there?”“Just wait beside the road,” says Eve. “He’ll be there at 3:30.”“How will I know him?” asks Roger.“He’ll know you,” replies Eve. “You made the Chicago papers, too.”“Ahh, yeah,” nods Roger. “Have you got your watch set for Central Time?” asks Eve.“Yes, I did that,” says Roger. “Thanks.” Roger looks at Eve closely. “What’s the matter?” he asks. “Matter?” repeats Eve.“Yes,” says Roger. “You seem — I don’t know. You seem tense.”“You know, you’d better go before the police run out of redcaps,” says Eve.“We’ll see each other again, won’t we?” asks Roger.“Sometime, I’m sure,” says Eve.“I never had a moment to thank you properly,” says Roger.“Please go,” says Eve. “But where will I find you?” asks Roger.“I’ve got to pick up my bags now,” says Eve.“Ah yes, well, these are the checks for the large cases,” says Roger.
