After failing to cover the Mint 400, the two men (known only as the protagonist, and the protagonist's lawyer.) return to their hotel room, which they rented under a fake alias, and try to figure out what they are going to do next. The lawyer then disappears for a while, and then sends the protagonist a letter. It says that they have their next assignment and that he was in L.A.
Now the protagonist skips out on the massive hotel bill that he has run up, and takes off towards L.A. While on the road he continues to have paranoid episodes, and with hardly any sleep in the last three days, and a head full of drugs, the journey proves to be anything but easy. Once he has almost reach L.A. he proceeds to call his lawyer in order to yell at him for abandoning him. This is when he learns that his lawyer has arranged for a new car and new hotel in Las Vegas and that he needs to turn around and head back.
P.S. if this makes absolutely no sense to you, I'd like you to know that it is only because this book is nearly impossible to follow due to all of the paranoid tangents and hallucinogenic episodes that the narrator experiences while telling this tale.
