"It isn't funnyll!Y'ou got me into this,and you're getting me outr"I was mad,and I didn't want to be,I was having a great time,and I still don't know wjy I got so mad,The police were getting closer,so- we decided we'd better get moving or else get in an aweful lot of trouble.We moved like missiles into the darkness,She didn't have any idea of where we were headed,or if -we would ever get out of ttfris situation.

We whipped down a road that diin't have any lights on it.

Only one of the lights on the van worked right,,and even that didn't work right,but it was. the only light there was. She was sweating and I was swearing as we realized the polace car wasn't after us,.It passed us quite swiftly and didn't even have second thoughts about us,.She seemed to think that was funnybut I wasn't at all amused by this whole thing,I.f the owner of this van had found it missing yet,he' d probably be mad as hell and wouldn't hold anything, back,What if the owner wasa big hairy guy that kills people in his spare time and he wanted our skulls for taking his van,What if he carried a gun in his hack pocket and was stalking out the kids who, took his van,I*11 bet he wears chains and uses them
on people to show them a thing or two. about everything,I *11 bet, when we get back,he* 11 be waiting; for us to come back so he could strangle both of us and give us to our parents and say,,'Here they are,'Then our parents would give us to a foster home and never collect; on the adoption fee,I*11 bet that's what's gonna happen,.Oh C'MON!!!That isn't about to happen and I know it.we»re not returning • this van anywhere near that parking lot,

Paula swerved around and sped back to town trying to think of a place to dump the van,We were both trying to think of a good idea for this one,but couldn't think of anyplace that hasn't already been used a thousand times before,Then,, she finally thought of a good idea,'We'11 leave it in the middle of town where no one'll be looking for it.I'11 bet no, one even, knows it's missing yet,we've only been gone for an hour
