"These boots are made for walking

And that's just what they'll do

One of these days these boots

Are gonna walk all over you."

Jess, Cece, Schmidt,Coach, and Winston were all singing the classic hit to the top of their lungs while Nick stared straight ahead with a slight turtle-face, shaking his head. Laughter filled the car as they tried to hit every note to the best of their abilities. They were taking a road trip to a retreat in Nevada. Winston was driving, Schmidt was sitting in the passenger seat, Cece was sitting in the back behind Winston , Coach in the middle, and Nick and Jess were sitting beside him with Nick's arms over Jess. They've been driving for three hours and only took two rest stops.

" Alright guys, we are in Nevada and we're going to stop at the next gas station." Winston announced. They were relieve to hear that news because it was hot as hell and Winston was being stubborn because he said he doesn't have enough gas money unless somebody else was going to chip in. No one bothered to complain about the A.C. so they sat back and stayed content with the breezes of the warm air. Jess waved her hand out of the window feeling the wind touch her skin. She hadn't notice but Nick was staring at her. Man she is pretty is all Nick could think to himself. Jess turned her head only to catch him in his gaze.

" Whatcha looking at sailor?" Jess asked with a smile.

" What else could I possible be looking at." Nick replied.

Jess reached up and gave him a quick peck on the lip. The cars slows down and pulls into an old rusty looking gas station. A auto shop was next to it with two abandoned Ford pick up trucks.

" Winston seriously? Why do you insist on getting gas from some place that is obviously vacant. I'm pretty sure If you smell cheese, eggs, and Nick's deodorants there's a great chance a body is lying around somewhere." Schmidt ranted while looking out of the window. Everyone just stayed quiet because they didn't have time to feed into Schmidt and his bullshit. The car finally came to a slow halt as it pulled up next to a pump. They all took this time to get out and stretch a little and use the restroom. Getting out of the car shaking their feet back to made their way into the store. The gang was greeted by the dark, dusty floors and unpleasant odor. An old song was was playing was nothing but scraps of items on the shelves. Cece slowly walked over to the counter placing her hand on top of a bell sitting next to the register. She kept tapping it until a figure appeared from the shadows.

" Stop ringin' that damn bell!" the man yelled. Cece jumped back a little frightened by the tone in his voice. The gang turned their attention to him surprised by the fact that anyone was even here. Cece walked back until she was pressed against Jess. He had long white hair with dirty hands. His teeth were rotten by the tobacco he was chewing on. Tattoos up and down his arm and the meanest look one can even imagine.

" Um, I was just wondering where the bathroom is;I really need to go" Cece said.

"How 'bout ya'll take a piss somewhere else and leave me alone" the man fired back.

Nick stepped forward with a scrunched up face and balled up fist. " Listen man, all she asked was do you have a bathroom or not. No need for you to yell." The man looked him up and down.

"Fine. It's an outhouse behind the trees back there." Cece nodded and was on her way. "But be careful you don't want to run into something you don't want to see." He shout out to paused at the door and looked back at him before pushing the door and leaving. Winston then stepped forward putting both hands on the counter. "And what do you want?" he sneered. Winston took his hands off the counter and rubbed the dust off on his clothes. He took a few steps back.

" I.. uh-... can yo-, can I get some gas?" Winston finally got out. The man walked around the counter and pushed open the door. Winston stayed still not knowing whether to be scared or scared. like there is any other option. The man turned around a gave him daggering look. " You comin' or not boy?"

He immediately nodded his head and and walked towards the door. Coach grabbed at his arm stopping him. " Did he just call you boy? Uh uh, we need to get our asses up out of here especially us because I feel discriminated against." Coach said letting Winston out of his grip. " I know man. Let's just get this gas and we'll be out." With that Winston rushed out the door. Jess moved closer to Nick taking his hand. He looked down at her. She was looking up at him and he could see the fear in her eyes. He stretched his neck out giving her a light kiss on the forehead. That gave her a little comfort and she rested her head against his shoulder. He let go of her hand and wrapped both of his arms around her. She buried her face in his shoulder and mumbled something. Nick rested his chin on her head.

"Jess what's wrong?" Nick asked.

" I'm just ready to go that's all."

" Well don't worry were almost done and we'll be gone." She pulled back, looked up, and gave him a sweet kiss on the chin.

"Guys that's cute and all, but we should be heading back to the car." Schmidt said. Nick and Jess parted and grabbed each others hand. Coach lead them out holding the door for them. On their way out Schmidt spotted eyes behind the glass of the auto shop staring at them. He shifted his eyes down to the ground to avoid eye contact. " Alright ya'll we good." Winston said. The man put the pump back into its place and closed the tank. " Where ya'll think ya'll goin'?" stepping towards the group now. " Well, we-uh, you know-.. and-"

" Were going to a retreat in Nevada." Nick said cutting Winston off.

" Naw, don't go that way. It's dangerous and ya ain't goin' to like it."

" Why not?" Schmidt blurted out.

" Because it's dangerous. So turn ya'll city behinds back. NOW!" the man shouted.

" Sir you don't understand we've been planning this trip for awhile now. We have resezies at the finest retreat there is." Schmidt said.

" What in the hell you talkin' 'bout?"

" What he is trying to say is that we have reservations and we can't go back." Nick translated. The man's eyes traveled past them. His mind was set on something else, his attention to someone else. He waved his hand like he was telling someone to go away. They all looked behind them and saw nothing. Turning their focus back to him. He walked in between them making his way back to the store.

" Then good luck." he said not turning around.

They all looked confused. " Okay, let's get going. Wait, where's Cece?" Winston asked.

" Oh, she went to the bathroom." Jess stated.

" Then we'll just wait in the car for her." Each of them got on their sides of the car and were about to sit until the heard a loud pitched scream.

"CECE!"
