Beth laughs, too, the sound startled out of her, but she reaches out with her free hand and grabs her bag. Her guitar is still there, but off to the side, and she can see a stagehand coming out now, his expression concerned. He'll take care of it for her, her guitar, the situation, all of it, so she doesn't feel guilty leaving with Laura.

She doesn't feel guilty about any of it. In fact, she wants to do something more, kick out the asshole's knee, smash him over the head with something. Leave him for dead the way she had with Gorman.

"Where're we goin'?" she asks, but honestly, she doesn't really care. Her heart is still thumping wildly and she feels that odd, freeing sense of not caring about anything.
