Chapter 9

"Alright, so the idea is if we can black out all the windows, it's efficient and it's safe." Ethan says opening the car door.

"Is anybody else hearing this? How is driving blind, safer?" Charlie asks him.

"We're not." He says and gestures to the GPS. "We got the GPS."

...

Felix paints on the outside of the car windows, and Ethan tapes newspaper pages on the inside. He takes a tape piece to cover the back rear camera.

...

Ethan gets in the car and looks you in the passenger seat and glance back at Lucy, Charlie and Douglas in the back. With a nod, he turns the engine on.

"Calculating route." An automatic female voice says when the GPS beeps.

Ethan reach up to push the button to open the garage door, and you hear it start to slide up outside the car. He puts the car in reverse and backs out until he hits something and then turn to drive off, the garage doors sliding closed as you leave.

"Continue straight."

Everyone sits in silence as Ethan concentrates on driving.

"In half a mile, turn right onto the Bay Street."

Then you hear a scratching sound on the other side of the car.

"What is that?" Douglas asks.

"It's a curb." Ethan tells him. "It's just a curb."

Charlie starts panting nervously in the back. The GPS starts beeping and you look at the screen, showing a proximity alert.

"It's a proximity sensor."

Then the car bumps over something and you hear a crunching sound. Then as he keeps going more crunching and squishing sound and you scrunch your face and close your eyes.

"Just a speed bump. It's just a speed bump." Ethan says to try and calm Charlie.

"Turn right here."

Ethan makes a turn and then the GPS starts beeping again, showing another proximity alert straight ahead. He turns and avoids what you guess might be a car in the middle of the road. Then the beeping gets faster and show that it comes from both sides and ahead.

"Are we off the road?" Douglas asks.

"No, there's something. I think it must be just a truck."

"Just go around. Keep going around it." You tell Ethan wavering to the side. He starts to put the car in reverse but stop when hearing rumbling outside.

"What was that?" Lucy asks nervously looking around and Charlie starts panting more.

The beeping gets faster and shows something coming from all sides. It turns into one long beep, and you hold your breath.

"Is somebody else driving out there?" Lucy asks.

You see a shadow coming over the car and more rumbling. You reach over and hold on to Ethan. He keeps his hand on the steering wheel but doesn't mind the touch. Then the car starts shaking with louder rumbling.

"Shit!"

"Charlie, breathe." You tell him, then turn in your seat when he starts moving to get out of the car. "Charlie, calm down! Guys, stop touching him." You tell Douglas and Lucy, and pry their hands off him while Charlie keeps exclaiming.

"Shut him up, shut him up." Ethan tells you.

"Look at me, Charlie. You have to be quiet." You tell him, gesturing for him to look at you.
