backwards over the dirt and onto the highway.

  Kyle looked out the back window and saw the metal guardrail getting closer with each passing second. “We’re going to crash” Kyle yelled out and closed his eyes.

  Timmy frozen with fear, his eyes wide, screaming out as he held the steering wheel with both hands and turned the wheel to the right as hard as he could. His foot pushing the gas petal down all the way. The car spun around in circles, causing Bobby and Kyle to be thrown around in the backseat like rag dolls. By the time Timmy stopped spinning the car Bobby was upside down with his feet sticking up in the air feeling dizzy.

  “That was close” Kyle called out.

  “How close was I to the rail?” He looked over his shoulder out the back window and without realizing it straighten his left leg out and pushed the gas petal down. The car fired backwards again as they all screamed.

  Bobby looked out the window and saw the guardrail getting closer again. “Timmy, hit the breaks” he yelled out.

  “Where are the breaks?” Timmy called out in a panic.

  “Same place as a go-cart” Kyle answered from the back seat.

  “Oh yeah” Timmy said. He slammed his foot down on the breaks.

  When the car stopped Bobby looked out the window and noticed they were an inch from the guardrail.

  “Now what?” Timmy called out.

  Kyle pointed towards the forest “We need to go back and pick up Sam and Charles. Charles is the only one who can drive this car”

  “I can’t see them anywhere. Maybe the soldiers got them,” Timmy yelled out “All I see are a row of army jeeps and a bunch of soldiers now running towards us, but not Sam or Charles”

  “They must’ve taken off back into the forest,” Kyle said.

  “We can’t leave without them,” Timmy said in a panic.

  Bobby looked out the window then back to Timmy “The soldiers are getting really close to this car. Make up your mind on what you’re going to do”

  “We don’t need Charles to drive this car” Kyle called out “You know how to drive. You’ve driven a go-cart”

  “What?” Timmy yelled out “A go-cart? There’s a big difference in a go-cart and a real car on a highway”

  Bobby saw the soldiers a few feet from the police car “Hey guys,” he said in a panic “We need to leave now. Their just a few feet away from us”

  “What do I do? How do I make it move?” Timmy yelled out.

  “Put into gear” Kyle said, “I see my parents do that all the time”

  “Which gear?” Timmy asked in an alarm as he looked at the dashboard. “There’s a whole bunch to choose from”

  “Try the D for drive. I hope that works” Kyle said.

  “What about the R for run?” Timmy asked.

  “No way” Bobby said, “That means reverse. It will send us through the guardrail and onto the train tracks. Put into D for drive and be quick the soldiers are really close”

  Officer Reed came walking out of the main tent talking to solider 12 next to him. “The General wants everyone to move out now and head into town, when we arrive the General will come out of the assembly hall and join us…..” He abruptly stopped talking and looked up and noticed chaos everywhere. Instead of having soldiers standing in line at attention, some of them where chasing two people into the forest as others where chasing an out of control police car being driven by a kid, “What on earth is going on out here? Whys are a group soldiers chasing the police car with kids inside? And how did those little pesky kids escape from the jail cell? I don’t believe it” he turned back to Solider 12. “I’m going after those kids to bring them back here. You go ahead with the departing of the vehicles into town.”

  “Yes sir” solider 12 turned away and started giving out orders for all the other soldiers to get into there vehicles.

  Officer Reed ran over to a black car with tinted windows. He got inside and fired it up.

  Timmy put the car into gear just as one of the soldiers was a foot away from the driver’s side door. Timmy could see the soldier’s eyes and screamed out as he stepped on the gas petal. The car took off like a bullet down the middle of the highway. Timmy continued to scream in panic as he tried controlling the car as it shot left and right from lane to lane, taking up the whole highway. His eyes were wide with fear, his elbows locked straight as he could barley see over the dashboard. Kyle and Bobby were screaming in fear in the back seat; convinced there lives were going to end right they’re on the highway.

  The black car moved in behind them, gaining on them in lighting speed.

  Bobby looked out the back window “Guys, it looks as though someone is coming after us. It looks to be the Officer Reed. I think he wants his car back”

  “We need to get out of here,” Kyle yelled out as he looked out the back window as well.

  Timmy tried to claim himself down. He straighten the steering wheel and got the car to go forward. He had both hands on the wheel and could barley see over the dashboard at the road ahead. He looked in the rearview mirror and saw the headlights of the black car looking like eyes bearing down. He pushed the gas petal down and the car sped up.

  The police car roared down the highway with the black car right behind. The trees on the left flew by one after another in a blur.

  The black car tried to pull up along side, but Timmy swerved the car back and forth, not to block the black car, but because he couldn’t control it.

  Kyle pointed ahead to the left, “There’s the cut off to Forest Road” he yelled out. “Don’t miss it, we won’t be able to turn around with him behind us”

  Timmy tired to guess the right moment to turn. He missed calculated by a few seconds. He turned the steering wheel to the left and car fired to the side. Causes Bobby and Kyle to shoot to the right in the back seat falling onto each other. The car barley made it onto Forest Road just making the corner as dirt kicked into the air and the tires screeched. Timmy now race down Forest Road with the trees surrounding him on both sides.

  Bobby looked back and noticed the black car failed to make the turn “Alright, I think we lost him. Your decision to turn onto Forest Road at the very last second fooled him. That was good thinking Timmy. Good plan”

  Timmy looked around “Ah, what did I do?”

  Bobby watched the black car slam on its breaks, fire in reverse and turned on to Forest Road. “Oh, not quite. You didn’t loose him”

  The black car closed in again as the dense forest closed in around them.

  It couldn’t pass as Timmy was all over the road. At one point Timmy almost shot the police car into the ditch causing him to scream out and pull the other way. He tired sitting up straight to see over the dashboard with both hands on the wheel pulling it left and right.

  Bobby covered his eyes when the car fired to the left and pointed right at a tree. At the last moment Timmy pulled the car to the right. The tires screeched loudly. Bobby fell back over in the seat landing on Kyle who tired to push his off.

  “Hey get off me,” Kyle said.

  “Trying to, but were all over the place with Timmy’s driving” Bobby said. He sat up then fell back over again as the car moved quickly.

  “I think I got the hang of it now.” Timmy yelled out “I think I know how to drive” the car swerved to the other side of the road, his foot down on the pedal. The car nearly spun in a circle as the kids screamed out “Well almost”

  The black car took the opportunity and pulled up along side Timmy. Officer Reed signaled them to pull over by pointing to the side of the road.

  Kyle looked over to him “I think he wants us to pull over,” he said as he tired to sit up straight and look out the window.

  Timmy took his eyes off the road and looked out the window to his right and yelled out “I can’t pull over. I don’t know how to stop this car. I can just barely keep it straight, much less pull over. I don’t even know where the break is”

  “Look were your going” Bobby screamed out as he pointed forward.

p; Timmy looked ahead and realized he was drifting to the left hand side towards a tree. He screamed out and pulled the wheel with both hands and the car shot to the right. It hit the black car sounding like thunder.

  Officer Reed was caught off guard by the hit and couldn’t control his car. The front of the car shoot to the right and fired off the road into the forest. The front of the black car bounced up of a tree root and came slamming down on a massive fallen tree branch. The back end of the car was in the air with the wheels off the ground a few inches. Officer Reed tired stepping on the gas pedal, but the back tires spun around, unable to make any contact with the ground. The car wouldn’t move.

  He opened the car door and stumbled out onto the ground. He looked at the back wheels and knew he was done. He stood up and looked back at Forest Road as the police car faded away.

  Bobby watched the whole thing happen from the back window “Wow, what great driving Timmy. You should be a stunt driver. We lost him. He’s stuck back there. You have great timing. That was a great plan you came up with”

  Timmy looked around confused “What did I do?” he looked around unaware of what just happened. “What happened to the black car? All I did was avoid hitting the tree you were screaming about”

  Kyle looked back “Guess we don’t have to worry about that guy anymore. Now lets get to town and warn everyone”

  “I just hope we can make it without Timmy crashing” Bobby said.

  “You don’t have to worry, I’m pretty sure I think I got control of it” he said as he
