Cory was still worrying about how he"d offended Bianca when he walked through the gate of Baker"s junkyard. He was also trying to fix in his mind that whatever happened that day, he had to be over at Westview to pick up Zach from his school that afternoon. After the run-in with Nadia and Principal Clinton, that was one appointment he could not afford to miss.
The junkyard looked like a fortress from a zombie movie, surrounded by a mix of corrugated iron panels and deadly, curled barbed wire fortifications. Scrap cars were piled up five high for as far as the eye could see. It was a wonder the planning department hadn"t insisted on landscaping. Kelsey"s yard was a blot on the landscape, its main saving grace being that it was based in an industrial unit well away from the tourism hot spots
