Therese wound the window down, and gestured the inspector to do the same. He did not, of course, and drove at speed ignoring them. 'This will show him' carol grumbled, as she aimed past Therese's tiny head and fired a warning shot that whistled just ahead of his windscreen. 'Take that you bastard' then she screamed. He looked irate as Therese winced and cast a death stare in his general direction. Carol gestured with her pistol for him to wind the window down. He did so.
'ARE YOU CRAZY Ma'am?! IM JUST DOING MY JOB'
Carol took a long drag of her cigarette, then exhaled it out slowly, she was about to speak, when Therese: 'Listen, yOu….' she trailed off
'Fucker!' Carol whispered encouragingly. Therese continued, now louder, increasing their speed to 100 mph.
'Listen YOU FUCKER! Stay OUT OF OUR BUSINESS OK? YOU ARE A…..'
Tears of pride now cascaded from Carol's heterophobic face 'shitty hetero bastard' she managed to whisper through her sobs. 'A SHITTY HETERO BASTARD, AND WE NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN…' Therese exhaled and looked rather dumbfounded as now they all did in this moment, shocked at this new found aggression. Then the inspector curved his thin lips into a smile and his eyes lit up. 'If I'm a hetero, then what does that make you?' He held up the cassette tape and played back Therese's speech to them. Fumbling in his bag to the side of him, he retrieved a crucifix, and some garlic. He threw the garlic into Carol's giant car. She hissed.
He started to speed up, he was going to get away with the evidence, and their lived would be ruined…well Carol and Rindy would never see each other again she thought. Carol looked translucent and she undid her seatbelt once again, and this time started manoeuvring herself half out of her window, hanging out of the car, she started to shoot the inspectors car, he managed to swerve and dodge anything major from hitting him or the car's exterior. Therese heard carol cursing to the wind. Through all of this chaos, Therese felt still. She was amazed at her strength to stand up to the powers keeping her and carol from being together.
She thought about a world where carol would let Therese link arms with her without the consequence of her never being able to see her daughter and being treated like an outcast. With this utopian dream clouding her vision, Therese said 'hang on carol' and accelerated the car to its limit, she was now bumper to bumper with the inspector's car, and Therese noticed they were coming to a bridge. Sparks flew from the black car, and Carol climbed back in. she lighted a cigarette and complained about his shooting cans in the back yard was much easier than that. She took a moment to reload, not caring out how close the cigarette flame was to the ammunition.
Therese swerved to the side. 'Carol you have to trust me on this, you have made me realise how strong I am and I…love…..'She turned to look at carols grey eyes, when spun the wheel and slammed into the inspector's car. The black contraption veered off the road and down a very steep embankment. Therese and carol did not watch this, as they were back on the road heading to Chicago, making out and laughing. The inspector's car now rolled off the cliff and exploded at the bottom of the ravine. The smoke could be seen for miles.
