Karen was tired of waiting in line. It was getting dark, and she had been stuck in this line for at least 3 hours. She just wanted a ticket to the concert. Her favorite band of all time was going to be the headlining act, and they had never played her city. They would go to Chicago. They would go to Detroit. They would never come to Milwaukee. The longer she waited, the less likely she was of getting a ticket. That was when Brody came running up to her. He was a shining beacon of light in the darkness as he held in his hands two tickets to the show. Karen's eyes grew as Brody pulled her out of line. "What are you waiting in line for?" asked Brody. "I've got your ticket right here!"
