Wanderlust

Home run!

"Where to ?"

Willy shifted in the back seat, putting her bag at her side and the baseball bat in her lap, she took a deep breath and I felt the positive energy it.

" Out of the city please."

I sat in the passenger seat, wanted to know how was the taxi driver who was taking my best friend to the exit of San Diego. He looked younger than many taxi drivers I've ever seen, but I can say that the beard and long hair didn't help in judging his age, he looked like a hippie from 60s, he didn't look like a bad guy, and if he tried something against Willy, he could lose to her,he's a very thin man, and the large clothes didn't help in defining his body structure. He didn't look Willy even once, only drove in silence, I looked at Willy and could feel the adrenaline running through her veins, a new Willy in a moment, totally different from that I observed for 3 months.

A few hours later, we were on a deserted street with no sign of life around, the taxi stopped and gave a little sigh, perhaps driving so long sometimes is really hard.

"We have reached out to San Diego, do you really want to stop here Miss?"

Willy got out with her baseball bat, me and the driver got out of the car, what she was planning?

My friend climbed into the cab roof and did a home run in the  bright taxi plane. The taxi driver started screaming and the search for the board, which probably wouldn't be found so easily, because it was very dark and as I said before, desert. Unlike him, I began to laugh and laugh, Willy was crazy, but for me, in a good way. She started laughing too, took the phone and was typing something when the driver started toward her as a person who just lost all the money he had won in the lottery.

"You're crazy girl ?! How will I pay that ?! No, you will pay! I have nothing in my pocket! My god what kind of work is that ?! "

" Sorry sir, but it was necessary."

"Necessary?! Ending the only way to feed me ?! You are in trouble ... besides money to take you here, you owe me this taxi plane! "

"I have no money with me."

Lies, you must have at least $ 600 in the backpack, but I'm very curious what will come out of this, and what is so much that you do in your phone?

"There's no money ... You called a taxi to the end of the world WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY ?! This is ridiculous ... What you write in your phone? Calling mom and dad? "

"No ... on the contrary, I'm eliminating any ways they can find me, they don't need to interfere in my plans."

"Your plans? Wait, look you're making me very confused, and I'm not a man who is easily confused. "

"We can go to the nearest hotel? There maybe I'll tell you what's going on. "

For a moment, the taxi driver and Willy stared at each other, but I saw that he was looking the bat in her hands, certainly I would do everything the armed person wanted when I am helpless, as I thought, the taxi driver just sighed, sat on the bunch driver, waited Willy into the car and headed for the nearest hotel.

When they arrived at the Hotel ******, Willy went to reception, I left the taxi driver, who was sitting in the reception sofa muttering curses, and went behind my friend. The receptionist looked like a lovely woman, she was small, but she looked like a mature woman, perhaps a mother, her brown eyes showed how much she was tired, but it didn't stop her to smile for us, I mean, to Willy.

"Good evening Miss, can I help you?"

"Good evening, I would like to rent a room for one night, please."

" Okay, want something in particular?"

"Would you have a room with two separate single beds? The cheapest one. "

"We have the 302, will be $ 60 the night ma'am. Anything else? "

" By any chance you have a card, if I wanted to order food or something...?"

"It's all in the room madame, if you need anything, just call, the phone will be on the side of the nearest mobile. How many room cards do you need? "

Willy looked back, I also looked and I must admit I was surprised that the taxi driver was still there, sitting, muttering as it was before. Where Willy and I watched, he looked like a child, not an adult.

"Only one card please."

"Okay, here and thank you for choosing Hotel ****. Have a good night. "

"You too."

When we move away from the bench, I noticed the surprise of the receptionist when she saw that Willy was carrying a baseball bat, but she didn't call the police or anything, after all, Willy looked like a pretty decent girl.

"Hey you, crazy girl, give me my money.I'm leaving."

Aaaah I see...so that's why he didn't leave.

"I'll give you your money when I get in the room okay?"

"Okay ... but after that just give me the money get it ?!"

"Understoond. So can we go?"

Willy and the taxi driver were toward the bedroom, she opened the door and asked the man to leave her bag at the nearest bed. The taxi driver observed the room and he looked confused, probably wondering why this strange girl asked two beds. I threw myself on the bed of Willy and was looking forward to what she would do now.

"Hey girl tell me why you asked for tw-"

Certainly the taxi driver didn't expect that Willy would hit his head with her bat, and I didn't expect him to faint so fast. My friend sighed, and threw herself on the bed beside me, for a moment I thought again about her being crazy, but this time in the bad way. For God! She just hit a taxi driver! I wondered why would she do that? It could be dangerous if he told anyone.

Willy sat and watched the man's body on the floor, I realized that she felt sorry for him, but her agitation continued to dominate her.

"I'm sorry, but it is not fun to travel around this country without company doesn't it?"

That's true, it would be very lonely. I hugged her back and wished for the thousandth time to be alive again. But even standing next to her only as a ghost, this trip would be exciting even for me.
