	CLUE NUMBER TWO (from west Iowa): For the Hidden Journey: Rebels can't resist a challenge, especially when it's potentially harmful. For the Puzzle: Here are the second 5 letters of the puzzle/cryptogram: c z f i m To solve the puzzle, collect the other 13 parts and assemble them in order. This is part 2.                                     The Story: I'll tell you why the Falcon spiked us that day in Iowa. It was annoyed, and rightly so, because Alex had drag-raced it. Stupid, right? I can't put all the blame on him; I was sitting there laughing my ass off the whole time. We had a six pack of brewkowskis in the cooler. We don't drink and drive, we aren't stupid, but that afternoon was hot and we felt like having a beer with lunch. So we stop in at a local choke-and-puke, grind down some burgers and we're ready to vector when we notice these guys next to us in an old small-window VW bug. It's basically down the road already, but somebody was trying to fix it up a little. The driver is revving up the engine, like he's trying to clear the plugs. So Alex gets a wild hair up his ass and revs up the Falcon. Not just once, like a warm up, but repeatedly, like a challenge. I think it started out as a joke, like yah, check out our piece of scrap, but the other guy revs back and Alex can't refuse.
