Billy awoke the next morning. Steve was arguing with Don. "What's the matter?" Billy asked. "Oh nothing" Don said Steve smiled at Billy " 'nother love note" Steve handed Billy a folded piece of yellow paper. " You've got to be kidding man!" Billy said. "Nope!" Steve said. "Oh and hey! our next gig is in China! get that dude!" Steve punched Billy in the shoulder, Billy opened the note


Dear Billy,

i am sorry my first note i know it was strange but i really like you. maybe not love you yet....just like you. only cause i dont know you yet. please understand that. i hope you do. i wont tell you my name yet. maybe i will if you write me back. just give the note to your guitarist and he will give it to my papa. my papa knows everywhere you go. he will not follow or stalk you. he just knows.

Billy looked up from his love note. "China doll??" he asked, a little confused and uncomfortable. Steve shrugged. Billy continued "And how does her father even know us? Steve do you know him, TELL ME! do you!!??" Steve was just as confused as Billy "Every where I go this Chinese man appears and has the note for me, I swear man, I only know as much as you do Ok??" Billy sighed, and with that he folded up the note and tucked it under the sofa seat that he always sat on. "So are you going to write her back or what?" Don asked Billy. " I dunno" Billy's lip curled again and he shrugged scratching his chest and lighting a cigarette "I guess maybe I should think this out." He took a long inhale on his cigarette, then blew it out with his head up. That was sort of his way of saying "Good morning world!" "I need a cup of strong tea" Billy admitted. He sighed again. " Steve bring me a piece of paper will you?" Steve handed Billy a piece of scrap paper. Billy grabbed a pen from the small shelf next to Billy's favorite sofa. Billy began to write;

Dear China doll,

I don't know you but I just wanted to say hello! Your letters are very mysterious. And also quite eerie. I'm not quite sure what to say....Obviously you know very well who I am so I haven't much to say.

Billy folded up the paper, and handed it to Steve. Steve took the paper and tucked it in his pocket. Billy stood up. "Start packing Buddy" Don said. "We still got stuff up at that Hotel though" Steve informed Don "I know man!" Don yelled at Steve. Steve rolled his eyes. The boys later arrived at The Holiday inn Hotel that they stayed a few nights in to pick up their luggage. They took it into the bus and headed straight for the airport. Don had the plane tickets ready First class plane tickets, but Don wasn't coming. Their flight would be the next morning at 7:00 am. So they just stayed in the nearest Motel until then.

When the boys awoke, they were VERY ready. They woke up a 5:00 am, got dressed, brought their suitcases, and waited for the plane to arrive. They were going to be leaving Las Vegas soon!
