#5. The Long Drive.
Sunday, September 18, 2005 You slam your foot on the accelerator before even closing the door, which swings shut as the forward motion pushes you back into the seat. A deafening crack behind you sounds as the rear window explodes from a bullet passing through the glass and planting itself into the rear seat behind you.Flicking your head around involuntarily, you see the shattered glass strewn over the parcel shelf, leather seats and the dead man, tightly seat belted in. You turn back around and it isn't for a moment that you realise what you've seen, and check in your rear view mirror to confirm your fears.
"Oh crap" you mutter as you pull the car screeching out of the alley way on to a busier road, cutting through the traffic, dodging people crossing the road disregarding traffic lights. Not that you're upholding the safest mode of driving, but when a recently deceased is sitting just centimetres behind you and the goons, who no doubt put him in that state, just minutes behind you - road manners are not item number one on the menu.
You keep speeding forward not really sure where to go or what to do next, but you realise the first step is to get as far away from the trigger happy twins before you become the next bullet point on their list, figuratively and literally. However, swerving a stolen car with a smashed rear windscreen at these speeds is like neon to the police, and it won't be long until you're in their hands. Things are starting to get crazy, and you know that you're involved in some thing way over your head, but just don't have a clue as to what.
You're in a car driving south towards the city limits through busy streets. You have a dead body in the rear seat, and are conspicious. You have are carrying a wallet, mobile phone, mysterious package, and covered in stinking food waste. What do you do next?
The answers will lie with the contents of your pockets and don't forget the memory stirred by the Pink Kitten's poster, you should drive far away but then dump the car and continue on foot, not forgetting to wipe your prints from the car (oh yes I've watched CSI!)
Get the car into a dark alley where you can abandon it. Check the dead guy's pockets and the glove compartment for any interesting or useful items, then get the heck outta there.
