CHAPTER 10

  Logan is driving the Knight Mobile with Charlie and Josaline in the passenger seat.

  CHARLIE

  Whew! We finally got away from those monster.

  JOSALINE

  But did you have to have a boner for the entire time we were being chased?

  CHARLIE

  Boner? I have no idea what you're talking about.

  JOSALINE

  Really? Then why did I feel something poking my ass?

  CHARLIE

  What? You're talking nonsense. You're imagining things.

  Josaline turns her face towards Charlie.

  JOSALINE

  Imagining? I think I would know if it's nonsense or not because I'm SITTING ON YOUR FUCKING LAP!

  LOGAN

  Can both of you shut up!

  Charlie and Josaline turns to Logan.

  CHARLIE & JOSALINE

  What?!

  LOGAN

  You heard me! How am supposed to concentrate on driving if all I hear is you two getting a hard on for each other?

  Josaline gets flustered.

  JOSALINE

  You must be out of your mind! That is not happening at this moment!

  Charlie looks disappointed.

  CHARLIE

  Right... That's not what's happening. (Sniff) Not at all.

  LOGAN

  Just stop! You're breaking my concentration.

  CHARLIE

  What's so hard about concentrating while driving? It's as easy as breathing or moving your body or talking or punching somebody or brushing your teeth or having sex or stealing or-

  LOGAN

  JUST GET TO THE DAMN POINT!

  CHARLIE

  OK, Mr. Grumpy. All I'm saying is, you just put your hands on the steering wheel and your feet on the pedal. Very easy if you ask me.

  LOGAN

  Nobody was asking you, bub.

  CHARLIE

  I'm just saying. It's very easy.

  LOGAN

  You know what else is easy?

  Three blades grow from out of Logan's right hand.

  LOGAN

  Me slicing your throat. So I would be quiet if I were you.

  Charlie gets nervous.

  CHARLIE

  (Gulp) You wouldn't slice a guy with glasses on, would you?

  LOGAN

  What are you talking about, bub? You don't where glasses.

  Logan looks at Charlie and notice him wearing glasses.

  LOGAN

  Where'd the hell you get those glasses?

  CHARLIE

  It's a funny story, really. You see, it all star-

  LOGAN

  Don't care anymore.

  Logan looks away from Charlie.

  CHARLIE

  (upset)

  Oh man.

  JOSALINE

  Men... Can't live with them and I can certainly live without them.

  CHARLIE

  I heard that, you know.

  JOSALINE

  It was meant for you to hear.

  If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

  CHARLIE

  (She can be so mean at times.)

  Josaline looks at the sky sees something fly across the sky at a fast rate.

  JOSALINE

  (What was that?)

  CHARLIE

  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

  Josaline quickly looks at Charlie.

  JOSALINE

  What's wrong?

  Josaline sees Charlie rubbing his eyes.

  JOSALINE

  Are you OK?

  CHARLIE

  My left eye! It hurts!

  Logan looks at Charlie.

  LOGAN

  What?!

  Logan sees Charlie rubbing his eye.

  LOGAN

  Josaline, grab the steering wheel.

  JOSALINE

  What?!

  LOGAN

  I need you to steer while I check on Charlie.

  JOSALINE

  I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

  LOGAN

  Just grab the damn wheel, woman!

  JOSALINE

  Fine.

  Josaline grabs the steering wheel while Logan checks on Charlie. He removes Charlie's hand from his face. Charlie opens his eyes and Logan sees that Charlie's left eye is blood shot red.

  LOGAN

  I can't believe this.

  CHARLIE

  Believe what?

  Logan remains silent while staring at Charlie. Josaline turns to look at Charlie for a quick. She notice Charlie's eye being blood shot red.

  JOSALINE

  Oh my god... Why is his eye red?!

  CHARLIE

  What?! My eye is red?! Which one?!

  JOSALINE

  The one you were just rubbing, you idiot!

  Charlie snatches his wrist from Logan's grasp and looks at the right view mirror to see his reflection.

  CHARLIE

  W...What is going on? Why is my eye red?

  LOGAN

  (I see. So he's a special case.)

  Charlie turns to Logan.

  CHARLIE

  WHY THE HELL IS MY EYE RED?!

  Logan adjusts himself back in the driver seat and takes the wheel from Josaline.

  CHARLIE

  Logan!

  Logan remains silent.

  CHARLIE

  LOGAN!

  LOGAN

  I DON'T KNOW! Now cover that shit up before I vomit!

  CHARLIE

  With what, asshole?!

  LOGAN

  Use your hand for all I care.

  CHARLIE

  I'm not going to cover my eye with my hand for the entire time just so I can please your ass.

  JOSALINE

  Both of you stop arguing! We don't need this right now!

  Charlie and Logan stopped arguing and Charlie looks away from Logan.

  JOSALINE

  Don't worry, Charlie. I got something to help cover up that eye of yours.

  Josaline takes out an eye patch from out her pants pocket.

  JOSALINE

  Here...

  CHARLIE

  Why do you have an eye patch in your pocket?

  JOSALINE

  I...uh...always carry an eye patch with me.

  CHARLIE

  For what reason?

  JOSALINE

  What is this, a million questions? Just take the damn eye patch and be thankful.

  CHARLIE

  ...Thanks.

  Josaline hands the eye to Charlie and Charlie puts it on, covering his left eye.

  JOSALINE

  You make everything so complicated, you know?

  CHARLIE

  I wouldn't be me if I didn't.

  MAN'S VOICE

  Did you complete your objective?

  CHARLIE

  What was that?

  LOGAN

  Shit!

  Logan reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out his cell phone. He hits a button and puts the phone to his ear.

  CHARLIE

  Who are you talking to?

  LOGAN

  (on the phone)

  Yeah. - I have it right here.

  CHARLIE

  (That voice sounds so familiar.)

  LOGAN

  (on the phone)

  It's taken care of. - Yes. - Understood.

  Logan hangs up and puts the phone back into his pocket.

  CHARLIE

  Who was that?

  LOGAN

  My boss.

  CHARLIE

  Your boss? I didn't know you had a job.

  LOGAN

  Need one to maintain a living.

  CHARLIE

  Where do you work?

  LOGAN

  Irrelevant.

  CHARLIE

  What?

  LOGAN

  That's irrelevant.

  CHARLIE

  Why?

  LOGAN

  There's no need for you to know.

  CHARLIE

  OK. What were you guys talking about?

  LOGAN

  Don't worry about it. Everything is taken care of.

  CHARLIE

  Taken care of?

  LOGAN

  You two better hold on to something because I'm about to go "Speed Racer" up in this bitch.

  Logan stomps on the gas pedal and the Knight Mobile shot down the road.

  (Meanwhile)

  A man is in a building and he hangs up the phone.

  KINDRA

  Is everything alright, sir?

  MAN

  Is everything alright?

  The man smiles.

  MAN

  Everything is better than alright. My plan is moving into fruition so perfectly, I can taste the success in the air.

  KINDRA

  I am pleased that you are satisfied with the flow of things, Mr. Breao.

  MR. BREAO

  Soon Kindra...no one will be able to stop me. This world will be mine.
