It was already dark considering we started our journey 4pm, fog was getting dense and we can't afford to face any problem again.

"James do you want to take some rest and in the mean while I could drive?" Cyrus asked.

"I am fine." he responded.

"Please I insist."

"Okay! but on one condition. You must have a co-driver."

"Yeah! Sure that's not a problem."

"Rita go sit next to him." James said.

"Okay!"

Cyrus replaced James's place and I Caleb's place and they both took ours.

Time was around 10pm. We were driving at the speed of 40km/h. I was also feeling sleepy now, my eyes were getting closed but I was trying hard to wake up suddenly I realized that our car was slightly moving towards right divider. Before I could judge what was happening I was shocked to see that Cyrus was sleeping!

I slapped him to wake him up; he applied brakes all of a sudden. We all woke up because of the sudden jerk caused by those brakes. I got out of the car to see if we have hit something or not and we were shocked to see that we have just stopped inches from a giant truck that was broken down and was not visible due to fog. If we would have hit that truck, we definitely would have died. We all were scared as hell. James decided to drive the car further.

We entered the  Magba city at night; it was around 11pm in the night. Journey of 4 hours turned out to be of 7 hours, moreover, we were not able to find any hotel in the city, all the hotels were already closed and others were fully booked. Still we carried on our search because we had a whole night to spend. We found a small hotel near a Banquet Hall which was just wrapping off a marriage. The hotel was fine and we took 3 rooms; one for James, one for the girls and the other for the boys. Everyone was hungry but unfortunately we had nothing to eat neither did the hotel. So we decided to sleep as we were very tired.
