The Joestar Protector Book 2

Everyone is Going Insane

   " Man this country is amazing! Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing here? It's like every house is a mansion or something. " Polnareff asked in the front seat.

We were driving through a fancy street, and the houses looked like they were mansions and everyone owned one. The car Joseph bought was fancy, but the reason behind the fancy purchase is beyond anyone. No one knows why he bought such a nice car for this sandy place. Joseph was sitting in the front seat beside Polnareff, leaving me to sit in the middle of the other two travelers. 

   " Yeah, all the houses around here would cost three or four billion yen in Tokyo. Apparently, this is the norm for the people here. Just 20 years ago, this was all desert, but thanks to massive profits from the oil crisis, this place turned into a dream-like city. "

   " The sun is harsh but with the air conditioning, it's perfectly comfortable inside the car. No complaints here. "

I could see Polnareff looking around. He looked out of the window behind us and then out of the windows. He finally settles in his seat and placed his hand under his chin. 

   " What wrong, Kakyoin? "

   " Its...Its nothing. The view here is amazing. If anyone were after us, I'm sure we'd spot them, but I feel like someone's watching us, so I can't help looking back. "

   " Can't blame you, every time we thought we could relax we really couldn't. " I said folding my arms. 

   " Yeah, we can never catch a break, can we? " Kakyoin asked looking at me, connecting our eyes. 

   " We can't, but it's what we signed up for. "

   " It is, but at least we get to be heroes in the comics instead of the bystanders. "

   " True, it's more fun to be the hero and not the villain or the bystander. "

   " Listen up you two. If we take the route I explained at the dealership we can get to the airport. We can fly across the Saudi Arabian desert. If we can get a Cessna, I can piolet it, and it'll shorten our travel time. "

   " Flying in a Cessna with a man whose been in three plane crashes and a woman who's been in two. Yeah, that seems like a perfect idea to me.  " Jotaro said leaning back on the headrest.

I chuckled a little but Joseph only glared at Jotaro. I stopped laughing and continued to listen. 

   " That comment was not standing. Our priorities should be crossing the desert and high-tailing it to the village of Yarpline. It'll take us one day on camelback. "

I decided to fade away into my thoughts and stop listening to Joseph. I knew the plan and that was all I cared about at the moment. It got quiet really quickly, and it was an awkward silence. I felt a yawn start climbing my throat and I covered my mouth as I yawned. I was yawning a lot because I didn't sleep much. Dreams were great but when Dio was in them they weren't dreams anymore, they were nightmares. I felt my right shoulder get nudged, and when I looked over, Jotaro's eyes were staring at me.

   " Yes? "

   " Why're you so tired? How much sleep did you get last night? "

   " Not much. With so many stand attacks and Dio in my dreams, I really have no value for sleep anymore. I just need a little coffee or some tea and I can stay awake. I've been awake now for almost 25 hours. "

   " Now, that's pretty useless. "

   " What? "

   " How are you going to fight when you can't even go one minute without yawning? Get some rest, I'll wake you when we get there. "
