Prairie, Takeshi, and DL drive to his office in a Los Angeles business and shopping complex named the Fumimota Suite. Their car, the Trans Am, is only semi-visible due to a special coat of paint. Prairie wants to use Takeshi’s computers to track down her mother, though DL cannot understand why. She suggests that Prairie could watch her mother for the time being, instead of risking the involvement of the military and government organizations who seem to be following both them and Frenesi.
After, they drive to the house of Ditzah Pisk Feldman, who worked as an editor in the 24fps “guerilla movie outfit” (194). Ditzah and DL reminisce about their experiences of filming corrupt police officers; 24fps was born out of the Berkley-based Death to the Pig Nihilist Film Kollective, inheriting their equipment and several members. Prairie studies the footage, much of which includes her mother.
Among their targets was Brock Vond, who targeted student protestors in Oregon. Frenesi tailed Vond and, as she studied him for the Kollective, began to fall in love with him. The members of 24fps found themselves in a difficult situation in the College of the Surf in Trasero County, where their exits were blocked off.
