((Skys POV))-an hour or so later- *im standing near the truck scanning the hills with a pair binoculars*"you're being paranoid" *blayke says from in the truck* "no I'm not ether" *i say after a moment* "because, like Anakin Skywalker...we don't have the high ground and id prefer not to end up in a one-sided gunfight with us in the freakin bowl we're in, especially because that will make me angry, and no one will like me when I'm angry" *i say then reach in and put a CD in the radio and crank the volume up* "they already know we're here so I'm gonna have fun with it"*i say before anyone has a chance to say Anything* "red SUV, pulling up behind us" *i say after a moment placing both hands on my rifle and aiming down the sights* "stay put" *i say as the others hurry from the truck and walk towards the SUV as The Shroud himself steps from the vehicle tommy gun at his side and four guys step from vehicle as well, armed to the teeth* "well, if it isn't the child murderer" *The Shroud says seeing me*"it was your shot that killed her Shroud, not mine! "*i say coldly* "and besides, that was years ago why come after me now?"*i ask* "because I can kill your ass now and be hailed a goddamn hero"*he says coldly* "and the lovely feeling of revenge is nice too" *i glare at him with stare im sure could be compared in intimidation to a nuclear bomb and look around a moment* "funny isn't it?" *i say after a moment* "that you honestly think you've won" *i pause for a moment* "to quote hanible smith, leader of the A-team and an internet meme...I love it when a plan comes together" *and as he lungs at me in anger there's a slight click under his foot* "you done fucked up A-Aron " *i say stepping back a little* "high explosive land mine" *i say with a smile*"a fake one" *i add* "why? Because there's a difference between you and I, slight insanity and compassion, I didn't put a real one down because I want you to know....I'm the man who can kick your ass at any time, and you need to remember that before coming at me again..it won't end so nicely" *i say and turn around, walking off chuckling knowing I just kicked the worlds most famous heist-man down a notch or two*"yes, I take tips from Batemans book" *i say as I reach the truck and Luke laughs * "I'm sure it scared the crap out of him" *i nod* "I'm sure it did, and I'm also sure he'll try again" *pause* "and your letting him because?"*dawson asks* "freewill" *i say after a moment* "and because I want to know big a dumbass he really is" *we all laugh a moment as I grab my tools and a roll of duct tape* "let's see if I can at least patch this oil pan " *i say and the crawl under the truck and get to work* -a couple hours later- "not my finest work but It should get us to town" *i say crawling from under the truck and grabbing a couple bottles of oil from the backseat and pour them into the engine* "turn it over! " *i call and Luke turns the key and though it tries the engine doesn't turn* "mother.."*i curse kicking the truck* "trucks seized up, it'll have to be rebuilt" *i say after a moment and pull out my phone to call a tow* -minutes later- *the tow arrives and we're given a ride to town and are dropped off at the small inn that the town has*
