Looking through my dark sunnies and out into the night, I listened to the faint flap of a bats wings and the magical glow of the lone moon. My eyes shapped to the empty seat next to me, and then back to the road. "Loverly night for a drive..." A husky voice coughed next to me. I twisted my head and saw and grubby man, his huge scrappy beard hung aimlessly under his chin. The empty beer bottle rapped in a brown paper bag, he smelt of vomit with a hint of dead fish. "Now I wander.." he splattered holding up his dirty brown finger, "that on a loverly night like this that you," pointing at me, " my lady, would have dark shapes on?" I didn't answer back, I just stared, mouth straight and no emotions. That was one of the good things about me I had a great poker face. "Well Okay?" Rolling his eyes and looking at his boots. " Oh, let's play a game, it's the what if game. What if...you were..." I already didn't like this game," a rich princess but you were held captive by... gold diggers that wanted your Wealth? What would you Do?" I sat silently, not that I didn't want to answer, it's just I didn't know what to say and the fact that a smelly old man is sitting is the passenger seat of my van. " I would," the old man interrupted my thoughts, " I would use my lady skills and lead them into kissing me while sitting next to a window and then as they leaned in with eyes close, out the Window they go."

Wow even though this guy was, well a guy he really thought like woman.

"Um," I questioned" what if you were in a room without a Window?"

The man frowned "Shudup you" with a cheeky smile that told me that he was being sacarsic. Thank the Lord. "Anyway, what if you were the president and you either had to chose between saving the life of your family or America?"

Once again no words, I guess I would choose family but then again America.

"I know." I whispered, " I'm the America president so I'm a America citizen so is my family, so I would save America because I would then save my family with It!" I smiled now I was getting the hang of this game.

The man laughed " Haha, NO."

" what"

" Look honey, your to smart to play with.... Moving on." It was like this guy crazy one minute he wants me to join in and then the next his like Nope Your Too Smart!

"What if..." here we go again, I rolled my eyes, " You were a part of the rebels..." my heart stopped and my mouth hung. "And the only reason your waiting here is for your mate to come back from stealing some thing from the president's office." His face was now very close to mine and I was intoxicated by the vomit dead fish smell. " How..." I was cut off by one of his smelly fingers pressing upon my mouth. "Shhhhhhhhhh, your secrets safe with me." And then puff he was gone, out of thing air gone.
