Parking brake cable detached from pedal mechanism

I recently went to the store, parked my 90 coupe, did my shopping, released the parking brake, then when I got home the parking brake didn't work.
So I took a look at it and it appears that the cable came off the pedal ratchet. 

My question is where on the ratcheting mechanism do I attach the cable?

Right beyond the end of the cable is a "Saddle" for lack of a better word , that is made of heavy sheet metal that the barrel on the end of the cable rests in.

If the cable didn't break and the barrel is still attached I would suspect your cable is hanging up in its housing.
