A nick slept into a dead sleep once more. I am left to my own company once again and once again my nerves take over. I feel more vulnerable with out nick to talk to. I had always turned to him to look for help as did he look for help from me. I soon found myself looking in the rearview mirror looking for followers even thought I new there wouldn't be. Just the same cars that had been miles behind us for miles now I see a rest stop ahead and that reminds me that I have to go to the bathroom I decide to just stop for a few seconds and then get back on the road. For it wouldn't take me long and after drinking six beers and two cans of mountain dew I was just about ready to explode. As I pulled in to the rest area the cars that had been behind us had all passed. I get out and hurry into the restroom. And I finish and wash my hands I head back out to the car as I reach down to open the door a car speeds into the rest area and fires six rounds at the car one missing and hitting me in the arm flinging the door open but as I start the engine a bullet goes throw the back window just missing nicks head nick was startled by it and raised his head I told him get down and I speed out of there at sixty mph. I was on the road only about eighty feet when a car pulled out in front of me throwing bullets into my windshield. I turned to nick and asked him what the hell he had gotten himself into. I flung the car around and started heading southwest trying to lose these bastards. They must have been following from a ways back just waiting for me to stop. I was traveling about eighty five. With them falling back. But there was nowhere to hide out know for at least thirty miles. I was scared for how in the hell did tease guys find us so quickly and how did they follow us for so long they couldn't had know what I was driving. Or could they might know everything. Everything about us about are childhood. No how could they know that but they did know what I drove and were I lived and they also must have know that nick had visited my house or at least had called me. Who knows who else was in danger. I asked nick if he had visited or called anyone else yesterday. He assured me that he hadn't. But who in the hell knows how far this whole thing goes back. For nick was still in a daze and could not remember what had happened yesterday night. He didn't know anyone that would want to kill him and nether did I everyone liked nick or at least got along with him okay and nick was nice to everyone. He was a well rounded guy. We finally lose them sixty miles down the road as I turn and head west it is know three in the morning and we need so rest but I cant take the chance of even stopping for I would never know were they were. My arm was okay I would live I would have tolerated the pain for I did not even have the time to go and have a doctor check it out. We keep driving west trying to get as far as way as possible we had to come out with a different plan for they could know of the cabin and it would be to obvious for us to just loop around and end up at the cabin but for know I let nick get his sleep we would have to come up with a plan later when it was daylight.
