She hides in the loading space of Kid Kane's pickup, who's on the way to the world championships in arm-pressing. When he discovers her, he wants to send her home at first, but after he knows the story he takes her with him--and gets himself into big trouble: her furious stepfather is on their trail, trying to kidnap her and avenge the stress he got from her mother.
