A Detective's Story

Chapter Ten

The ride is boring.

Excruciatingly,

Extremely,

Overly,

So fucking boring.

But it does leave me with my thoughts for a while.

Sidekick is in the backseat taking a nap while me and coffee are up in front.

Driving isn't my thing,

So coffee has the wheel.

Now that I think about it,

That's a terrible idea.

He might as well drive us into a tree and take all of us out.

I'm starting to feel sleepy,

It might be because I'm bored.

Or maybe this bastard fucking poisoned me.

That's unlikely though,

I never accepted anything edible from him.

And I made sure he stayed in a different room while he was at my house.

I also locked my door.

The point is,

I took the necessary precautions with living with a killer.

That reminds me,

No, my ex isn't dead . . . sadly.

He escaped the fire.

I'm pretty sure his hair caught fire.

I hope he's bald now.

I feel myself dozing off to sleep,

But then I hear the familiar sirens of the police.

At first, I thought I was hallucinating,

Or they were chasing someone else.

But we're the only people on the road for miles.

It could be for a speeding ticket.

But yet again,

They'll probably recognize us.

But anyways, we wont be taking that risk anyways.

I'm about to instruct coffee to step on it,

But he's one step ahead of me.

I feel a whoosh of air as he speeds across the roads.

He keeps swerving from side to side.

Fucking mad man.

I might die before we even reach the train station.

"Calm down will ya? You're gonna get us all killed!" I yell.

"You'll be fine," he says casually.

I roll my eyes.

Of course the dragon would say that.

He's probably immortal or something.

I didn't research that, but he's most likely to survive if we crash.

He starts to speed up as a few more cop cars follow after the initial car.

Shit.

"Are you fucking crazy? I'll jump out this fucking car if you go any faster."

He laughs.

"I'd like to see you try." he says as he speeds up.

I see a smug smirk across his face.

At this point, sidekick is starting to wake up.

"Whatishappening?" he groans.

His words are a little slurred as well.

"Our beloved Mr. Coffee is going to kill us!" I yell sarcastically.

Sidekick shoots up from his seat.

He looks from me to Coffee slowly and suddenly,

He starts screeching.

I instantly bring my hands to my ears.

The sudden screech sends coffee swerving us off the road and into the forest.

"Thanks a lot!" I scream at Sidekick.

As we hit a fucking tree.
