checked the car then looked around the seats for keys. Hot wire it. The voice in her head suggested.
    “I don’t know how to,” Forres admitted.
    Just connect a bunch of wires together and it’ll start.
    “I don’t think it’s that simple…,” Forres stated.
    Yeah it is. Let me guide you. First you tear the part under the wheel off and there will be a bunch of wires.
    Forres did as she was told but then she stopped. “Wait; if you are me, you know what I know. And I don’t know how to do this. How do you?”
    There was a small pause. Shut up and listen to me. Now ripped some wires off and connect it.
    Forres ripped the wire out and was about to put two together. “Will I blow up?”
    I don’t know. Maybe not, maybe so. Who cares? Let’s do this? The voice sounded excited like a little kid on Christmas. Forres gave a little shrug and then started trying to hotwire the car. After several long minutes of trying, Forres gave up.
    “I can’t do this,” Forres whined and threw her hands up. Her fingers hit the sun visor. Something fell to her feet. Forres took a second and then reached down and picked the keys up.
    Man, you should have looked there. The voice said like Forres didn’t know that. Forres let out a scream and slammed on the wheel. Words came out of her mouth but no one could even understand them. When she was done letting out her anger, she put her head on the wheel. It was silent for a moment then two bangs came.
    Forres picked up her head, thinking they were gun shots but this sounded different and closer. More bangs came and she looked around for the source. No one was in sight but the bangs sounded so close.
    Another bang came, making Forres’s head snapped to the trunk. Slowly Forres got out of the car. The car alarm goes off, making Forres jump. She grabbed the keys quickly, and turned it off. Taking a deep breath, she slowly drew her – well Chyler’s – knife. She goes to the trunk and stopped.
    Shaking, Forres put the right key in and twisted. The truck made a small pop like the case did. She jumped a bit and she opened it, slower than usual.
    A boy, tied together, shot out and his head went into her nose.
    Forres fell back from the impact in her nose. The knife in her hand flew to the side as she fell on her back.
    The boy – who looked in his early 20’s – got out of the car, ran over and grabbed the knife.
    Forres rolled over and removed her hand from her nose. In her palm was a pool of blood. She looked up.
    The guy held the knife between his duct taped hands and looked at Forres. He stared for a second. His sun kissed skin was sweaty and stained with his own dry blood. His eyes were a misty hazel, a blue and brown color. His hair was messy and brown with some yellow. He then ran away.
    Once he was out of Forres’s sight, she rolled over and stared at the dome, high above.

    “Where’s Forres?” Jezabel asked.
                  “She must have left. Honey, put on your shoes,” she ordered Jezabel.
                  “Bet she took something,” Austin said, putting on his brother’s cowboy hat.
                  “She didn’t,” Chyler snapped. She was staring out the window. Austin looked surprised. Those were the first words she had said after the incident and she was defending Forres. Chyler walked pass their watching eyes and goes down the stairs.
                  Austin looked at the others. “What did I do?”
                  Eleanor shook her head and patted him on the back as she goes pass him.
                  “What?” Austin repeated and looked at her.
                  “Let’s just go,” Jinx said.

    Austin looks both ways then motions for the others to follow. He ran, swiftly, to the end of the alley of the auto body
