"Mhm. Okay. Well, here's your sandwich." She also handed him cold bottled water. She could feel her hair about to slip down from the baseball cap, and before she got into the Mustang, she put her sandwich on the roof so that she could redo the knot. She tossed the cap onto the roof, too, and started smoothing her hair with her hands.

He thanked her but caught himself watching her. He ripped his gaze away awkwardly.

She glanced up as a gleaming silver pickup truck swung in to the space next to the Mustang. There was a couple sitting in the cab. The man had a bushy brown mustache; the woman, frosted blond hair that was stiff with hair spray. As she began twisting her hair up again, the woman looked over and their eyes met.

Time seemed to slow down. Her face slackened in shock. Electa saw her mouth fall open, and then it was moving, forming words:
Its her.

Vex had no idea what was with Electa's reaction, he didn't really dare look at the couple.

She leaped into the Mustang and slammed the door. "We've got to go," she said, her words falling over themselves

Nervous, he grabbed what she had left on top of the car and then he jumped in as well, closing the door quickly. "Who are th-they?"

"Not sure, but that woman saw me." It was possible to see the lady talking urgently to the man, pointing at them. He was leaning over her, squinting at the Mustang.

Electa backed them out in a rush and floored it, squealing out of the gas station. The man had gotten out of the truck, staring after them. There was a Church of Angels sticker on the pickups bumper.

And a rifle hanging in the cab.

Vex glanced back for a split second and he just about passed out. He paled, clutching his bracelet again. yay, another gun person. (<---Sarcasm)

Yeah, that was going to be so much fun! "How could I have been so stupid?" She asked herself. The last thing she saw before the gas station disappeared from view was him climbing back into his truck. A turnoff appeared; Electa took it, hurtling them onto a county highway. No sign of the truck.

Vex took some deep breaths before he released his bracelet from a death grip. "You weren't stupid, i-it was just something unexpected."
