Can Love Stand the Test?

The Attack

Thomas and Mindy sat in the flatbed of the truck. Chop Top and Carrie sat inside. They were all silent as they parked in the middle of a bridge waiting for those two kids in the car to drive by.

"Mommy, I'm bored", Carrie said sticking her head out the window.

"I know, baby", Mindy said. "Why don't you play with your doll? After Daddy and I finish with this, we'll go meet up with Drayton."

"Okay."

Mindy turned back to Thomas who was busy wrapping himself in a black cloth. It was rather cold out at night.

"This is going to be so much fun!" she whispered excitedly. "We've never done this on a moving car!"

Thomas nodded as he turned to the corpse they had with them.

Nubbins.

None of them had the heart to bury him in a cemetery, especially Chop Top. He couldn't leave his twin brother in the middle of nowhere. Instead, he offered to drag the corpse around, treating it as if Nubbins was still alive.

Mindy sighed as she watched Thomas pull the corpse into his lap. He was going to hide behind it in case if anyone survived, no one would know it was him. Mindy gently ran her hand up Thomas' leg.

"How's the leg, sweetie?" she asked.

Thomas shrugged. It was the same as before. No matter how easy their jobs were, he always ended up ripping out the stitches on his leg. Thomas never got the leg brace Mindy promised him because Chop Top didn't know how to make one. Maybe they could visit another cousin who knew their way around metal?

"Here they come!" Chop Top said.

Mindy and Thomas looked around the side of the truck. Sure enough they could hear loud music and those two kids laughing. Their headlights were a dead giveaway that they were coming.

"Let's do it!" Mindy said.

Chop Top started the engine and drove in front of the car, stopping before anyone would crash.

"Are you crazy?" the driver yelled. "Back up, you fucker!"

Chop Top put the truck into reverse and started backing it up. The car drove by, but Chop Top continued driving right next to it in reverse.

"Come on! Hurry up and get out of here!"

"Shit!" the driver yelled looking at the truck. "What the fuck?"

"Go ahead, Tommy", Mindy said.

Thomas pulled the cloth over his head and held Nubbins in his arms, completely hiding himself. He stood up and yelled trying to spook the kids.

"What the hell is that?" they yelled. "I don't know! Some kind of geek!"

Mindy stood up as well holding her sledgehammer over her shoulder. She gave the kids an evil smirk.

"Calling my husband a geek, boys?" she asked.

"It's some kind of freak!" the boys yelled as Mindy jumped over to the other car. "Where'd they come from?"

Thomas started waving Nubbins' arms around trying to scare the kids. So far, it was working. The driver started driving faster while the other kid kept yelling to get out of there.

"Let's finish them off, honey", Mindy said.

Thomas nodded as he bent over to pick up his chainsaw. Mindy held the hammer over her head and brought it down on the roof of the car.

"What's that he's got there?" the kids yelled in fear.

Thomas pulled the cord starting up the chainsaw.

"Yay, daddy!" Carrie said looking out the window.

Thomas held the chainsaw over his head trying to show off for his daughter. He brought the chainsaw down on the roof of the car, beginning to cut it.

"Watch out, honey!" Mindy said crawling out of the way.

The kids screamed in fear as the chainsaw cut through the roof. One of them climbed through the window with a pistol in his hand aiming for Thomas.

"Tommy, look out!" Mindy said.

The bullet hit Nubbins' skull, knocking it to the side, revealing Thomas' face. Mindy took her sledgehammer and swung it at the guy's hand, knocking the pistol out of his hand. Thomas yelled in anger as he brought the chainsaw down again cutting up the door.

"Son of a bitch!" the driver yelled.

"Excuse me?" Mindy said looking down at them.

She raised her hammer up and swung it down hoping to hit someone. Thomas brought his chainsaw down one more time before pulling it away.

"Mindy, come back!" Chop Top said.

Thomas turned the chainsaw off and put it down. He held his arms out as Mindy jumped off the car, back to the truck. Chop Top stopped the truck as they all watched the car hit the side of the bridge falling over the edge.

"That was amazing!" Mindy yelled hugging Thomas.

He nodded and hugged her back. He pulled away and gave her a little nudge telling her to get back inside the truck. It was getting colder out there.
