Brenda Lee explains, "Yes the rent is fair! These may not be the best accommodations in Simxas, but for a little out of the way location like this, it's a good price. You did say you 'didn't want to bothered by anyone'. Hey the police aren't after you, are they?".... 
Brenda Lee has been here working at the Laundra-Rama for two months. Its been 1 month and 1 week since she left her step father's house in Simston. She absolutley refused to be a stripper at his club, the Simsational Body Movers. A year ago her mother, Betty, married this weird guy, Bob Newbie. (Yes Bob has a darker side.) Anyway, Betty died under strange circumstances and when Bob insisted that Brenda Lee dance at his club, well she just had to get out of there. 
Brenda Lee often dreamt of justice. It bothered her that the Simston PD didn't investigate her mother's death. Even she could see something was wrong about it. As she dreams the memory plays in her head...... 'Bob goes out to get the paper, mom was in the kitchen, I was outside in the pool with friends, for no appearent reason there was a fire. The phone wasn't working, and I couldn't call the fire department. Why, why, why, were there no batteries in the smoke alarm??? I had just seen mom put them in, the day before.' But the SPD wouldn't listen to Brenda Lee, they just thought she was hysterical.
Meanwhile in Unit2............... 
Dave struggles with his own past. You see his father is really wealthy. Dear ol' dad owns the H.D. Motorcyle Company in Simston. Dave dreams..... 'Oh Dad! This is the best birthday gift anyone could ever have! Hey dad, I was wondering, why did you leave the patent office, and start a motorcycle company anyway?'... Well needless to say his dad never answered the question. He just wished Dave a happy 21st birthday, gave him the key and walked away. 
As usual in the mornings, Dave read the Simston paper. Every day he would ride his bike over to the newspaper stand to pick it up. No, still no mention of his father or the company. Dave summized that his father, did pay that blackmailer. You see it was just about three months ago when.......
Standing on the patio outside his father's study, Dave overheard his father arguing with some weird guy... "You will pay me, Mr. Darling! Or I will go to the media about how you stole Mike Davidson's prototype motorcycle engine. And how he came up missing". Mr. Darling responded by saying, "I don't know anybody named Mike Davidson" The weird guy said... "I know all about it Mr. Darling. Mike is... was my best friend. I watched him design and build that prototype. I showed up at his house the day he was going to met you. He said he, 'was going over to the patent office to see an attorney named Harley D. Darling'. That's you! Well Mike never made it home, no one could find him, his bike was gone, everything. His family reported him as a missing person with the SPD. Now, me being a smart guy and all, put two and two together". Dave couldn't believe what that weird guy was saying, especially when, Mr. Darling said "OK, OK I'LL PAY!" That's why Dave is here in Simaxs staying in little Unit 2. You see just as Mr. Darling was saying ok, the weird guy seen Dave at the patio door. So, Dave had to leave, afraid of, hearing more, of what his father may have done, and what the weird guy might do to him. Every since then, Dave has been on the lam, so to speak. (It's a good thing he has a trust fund.)
