an! Hi Gals my first FIC! rated T for language ;;))) hope ya like!

Carol skid to a halt abruptly on the highway and manoeuvred into an inconspicuous hedgerow at an alarming speed

'Carol WHAT ARE you doing?!' Therese shouted

'We cant go to Denver' Carol dramatically swished her hair.

Therese , now cradling her neck looked completely stunned as the car was now billowing out steam and the other cars on the road sped past them.

..why not? Therese almost whispered

Carol coughed up the cigarette she almost swallowed in the intentional crash. Steam rose out through her nose.

'Therese , what a strange girl you are…

I am obviously stopping to throw off our DETECTI-v-e…' , Carol elongated the last word so it last almost 5 seconds.

Therese did not understand.

She gingerly opened the car door, and stepped out in her sensible shoed feet. She then closed the car door and peered in through the window. Therese looked mostly at her own reflection for what seemed like an eternity, then focused on carol, who , she now realised was giving her a very confused stare back for the duration that she looked in. She shook her head and turned away and then silently climbed back into the giant car.

Get out. Carol said forcefully

Therese ignored her

Get . Out. Carol strained her words this time, alsomst like she was reprimanding Rindy

But carol where will I go? What sho-

GET OUT

Carol now roared and exhaled cigarette smoke into therses face. Her eyes were wide.

Therese started to cry and exited the car and then so did carol

My dear there are no accidents. I have a plan. You take the wheel and we go to Chicago. The ride is long, but , you , with your new licence, will have the beginners luck it will take to get us there. Carol touched Therese's hand then waltzed into the passenger seat. Therese felt as if she should never wash her hand ever again, and then put one glove over said hand.

Therese grabbed the enormous wheel in her glove hand and set off. Therese thought of carol as a dragon; the endless steam exhalation, the slow-ish meandering gait, and the ~~~fiyahhhh~~~~

They both peered through their respective windows with the echoes reverberating music in the background Therese then realised she swerved into the second lane.

'that is the 54th time today…'

Carol tsked and sighed then closed her eyes , as if to blink and fell asleep. Therese noticed carol had a slice of ham in her hair, from the inadequate picnic that Abby had made for them (this was the 45th of 245 picnics that they had gone through. Each time the food was going more stale) Therese felt that abby had no idea what a normal portion was, she just blindly hacked a loaf of bread into whatever she felt like, in her drunken stupor, and then just closed her eyes and picked the first ingredient that was near her at the time to include in the sandwich.

Abby always had a smirk in her eyes as she was doing anything, but the morning before Carol and her had set off, she noticed this much more as Abby said 'hope you enjoy the rustic meal I have prepared' the two of them could not stop talking about how almost maniacal abby looked when she had talked about the 'rustic loaves' Carol laughed so much she tipped her head as far back as the headrest and almost ran over a hedgehog. Therese laughed even more and did an impression of the rustic loaf debacle, Carol stopped breathing. Then she told the story of when Abby was in cookery class at college and found mrs. Henderson's wine stash. Abby made her drink half of the bottle with her and then hide the evidence. That lesson, Abby started an oven fire and the whole school was evacuated, Carol told the story through intermittent giggles, and said that abby has never set foot in a kitchen since. Unless she was blind drunk.

Therese smiled at that memory of the already , so memorable roadtrip. Then she remembered about the slice of ham. She reached out with her gloved hand and slowly tried to multitask the driving with the intricate skill of ham-getting. She almost had it and got alarmingly close to carols eye socket, when

BAM

There was a gun at thereses face

Carol opened one eye and then returned the gun to her fur coat. I thought you were someone els- carol regained unconsciousness.

Belivet saw there was only now 200 miles to chigago, she smiled to herself and then looked as carol who was collapsed in an awkward position which made her have a triple chin.

Therese took a photo. She didn't care about road safety at this point because she wanted to be found dead with carol. Yes. She thought. That will really show Richard. Then she thought of the evidence they might find, if they ever developed the photos... Therese decided she would not show Carol that photo.

'Shall I compare thee to a mahogany chair?' Carol talked in her sleep. So therese had learned.

Aird now woke up and lazily asked therese how long she had been asleep.

'about 45 hours'

Carol looked satisfied.

Anything to report?

Belivet shook her head

Do you think our friend has caught wind of our slight detour ? carol said almost cockily

'I hope not' Therese sounded slightly worried and replied tersely. She then remembered that, during her 45 hour drive , she had not once thought to look out for their unwanted Harge chaperone.
