Chapter 2

Jake loaded the last bag into the bed of the truck as he went over the list of things they needed one more time, making sure he had everything. He didn't know how far they would have to go out, so there was no telling how long they would be out there and he wanted to make sure they would be prepared.

"I still think bringing me is a bad idea" complained Mimi as she and Stanley walked up.

"I told you it will be fine. You need to learn these things. Hey Jake!" Poor Stanley looked ready to bash his head in. Jake knew that he and Mimi had to have been having this conversation a good 10 times at least.

"Hey Stanley. You all ready?" He asked both of them. Stanley nodded

"Ready as I will ever be" Mimi sighed and got into the truck. Jake laughed and patted Stanley on the shoulder in sympathy. Stanley got into the driver's side and started the truck

"Which way are we heading?" Stanley asked Jake

"Let's head west"

2 hours later they were still driving. They had seen a migration trail about 10 miles back and taken a quick look at it but they hadn't wanted to stay still for too long so they eventually got back in the truck and moved on. Jake was thinking about getting Stanley to stop soon he didn't want to go too far out. Jake was just about to say something when he saw a huge black truck blocking the road.

"Stanley!" He yelled just as Stanley slammed on the brakes and everything went flying forward.

Stanley sat there heart pounding as he tried to calm down. He turned and made sure Mimi and Jake were okay before he looked back at the truck

"What the hell are they doing? We could have crashed into them!" Stanley 'bout shouted.

"Turn the truck around" Jake said with ice in his voice. Stanley looked at him in surprise.

"What are you talking about? We need to get past the truck so we can find some game" Stanley didn't understand what Jake was thinking.

"Stanley! Turn the truck around. We will find game elsewhere!" Jake shouted. Stanley saw the fear on Jake's face. He looked at the black truck one more time and got a bad feeling in his gut.

"Okay" he said and turned the truck around.

"What's going on?" Mimi asked looking confused. Mimi knew that something bad was happening because of the way Jake was yelling but she didn't understand what it had to do with the truck. When no one answered her she sighed and settled back into her seat. While she didn't understand what was happening she was glad they were heading back. She was tired and wanted to go home and sleep.

As Stanley was starting to relax he heard Jake mumble shit and grab the shot gun. Stanley looked out the review mirror and saw the black truck following and catching up quickly. He let loose his own string of curse words before slamming the gas pedal down. But the little truck was going about as fast as it could go. Mimi turned around and looked at the road and saw the truck on their tail.

"GO! GO FASTER!" She shouted but the little truck didn't move any faster. The truck slammed into the back of them and Mimi jerked forward and caught herself from slamming into the dashboard.

"EVERYONE HANG ON!" Stanley shouted as he tried to control the car. Mimi watched as Jake climbed half out of the car and started shooting at the truck behind them. The truck didn't slow though if anything it only seemed angrier as it slammed into them again. When the truck hit them Jake lost his balance and fell back into the truck. He knew that their only chance at getting away was if he stopped the truck or at least slowed it down. Before he could even formulate a plan though the truck hit them again. Only this time he hit them from the corner in the back. Sending them flying through the air. Stanley tried to correct the truck but it was too late. One of his arms wrapped around Mimi's waist as she screamed. Jake only had time to wish he had but on a seat belt before everything went black.
