Hello there. While I am still hard at work on Stolen, I thought a little levity was in order. Hope you enjoy this!

"Terrific."

"Hey, this isn't my fault…"

"It's not your fault we're stuck in the middle of nowhere?"

"Could be worse…"

"That's true, kid." Morgan looked at the dented wreck that once was their SUV. It had managed to come to a complete stop once the front-end had collided with a giant oak tree. Steam began to pour out of the engine compartment, and Morgan worried the whole thing would catch on fire.

"You sure you're okay?" he called over to his friend and young colleague.

"I'm fine." Reid managed to wriggle out of the badly misshapen opening that used to hold a car door. The door itself had been ripped off about a hundred yards back, having become entangled with a small sapling.

"Nothing that can't be fixed."

The younger man stood next to Morgan and looked over the remains of what had been a perfectly good SUV. "Are they gonna take this out of my salary?" he asked timidly.

Morgan couldn't help himself.

"Now do you see why we never let you drive?"
