Write a Book in a Day 2018
-Chapter 4- As we drove further and further away from my home at Kakadu I think about everything that happened, everything we went through I finally managed to get home to my family and everything was perfect. It was all taken away in an instant by a single human, I didn’t want to leave them but I would do anything to save my family it still makes me sad to know that I’ll never see them again though the easiest decision I’ve ever made. I miss them. My thoughts are interrupted by the screeching of the Camaros brakes, we come to a stop. I’m in the boot of the car so I can’t see anything but we haven’t been driving for long and there wouldn’t be any traffic this late at night. The unknown puts me on edge, maybe I’m overreacting, but I feel like something’s wrong. Outside in the night air I can hear muffled voices and car doors slamming. I hear Chad’s smooth, cold voice he’s arguing with someone - something about the other person’s voice sounds familiar, but I can’t quite place it. I hear footsteps get closer to me then suddenly I hear the click of the lock on the boot and I see an array of flashing lights, then the fog clears and I see who is standing over me. It’s Janine! I don’t know what she’s doing here but I’ve never been so happy to see anyone in my life. Thankfully she doesn’t react to seeing me, I look deep into her eyes pleading for her to save me. “Hey mate, why do you have a fur denim jacket? It’s boiling out here!” “It’s fashionable not that you would know - obviously,” remarks Chad. “What, did you not hit enough roadkill on your way here, you gotta wear it too?” Janene says as she carefully takes me out of my cage, not making a sound. She slips me into the pocket of her workers jacket, and I lie still not daring make a sound. “Uhh rude! I’ve got a pair of snakeskin boots on the way so if you wouldn’t mind letting me go that would be good. Is anything out of order?” shouts Chad.
