19. My not-so-

Friendly Driver

Before I could take the last few

delicious bites in to my sandwich. I felt a

shift in the car. Followed be the

slamming of a door.

There was a lingering silence that

ended with the sound of the engine

starting. The car began to move slowly

at first then after a while sped up. It

took me thirty minutes just to get a

thought completed. Probably the drugs

doin' that. Why don't I just ask who it is.

" Hello, is anybody out there that could

lend a poor, helpless guy a hand or

another sandwich," no response.

"So I guess there's no one smart enough

or humanly capable of speaking, huh?!"

"shut up," said a rough voice muffled by

the thick seats.

" So there is someone driving this very

nice car, which has great interiors by

the way."

" You've only seen the trunk kid," said the

same raspy voice.

" a very clean, comfy one too with --"

" Shut up, Winters," he said immediately.

" I don't believe we've met, though I'm sure

you're a cool dude."

" trust me, you don't want to meet me,

kid."

" why's that," I said knowing the answer.

It's the same line every villain gives me...

" 'cause I'd be the last person you'd ever

meet, bub." ( I've heard that line in a

comic or something?)

" ahh, I'm shaking in my restraints. Which

are very nicely tied. Did you go to boy

scout camp 'n learned this?," I said

smiling. Knowing that I'm probably going

to die now.
