"Can I ask you something serious Stephen?"
"What Abby?"
"Are you gay?"
"WHAT? I had a girlfriend!"
"Two years is a long time. Are you sure you aren't gay?" Stephen sighs,
"What gave you that impression?"
"Well I never see you with any women. Logical explanation would be that you're gay. So are you?" Stephen shakes his head in disbelief.
"I can't believe that you just asked me that. You can't be serious." Abby whips around in her seat to face him,
"YOU ARE GAY!"
"WHAT? NO!"
"So you aren't gay?"
"NO!" Abby pouts before facing the windshield again and watching as the city bends and passes over in the reflection. There is a long silence before Abby works up the courage to talk to Stephen again.
"What do you think of Connor?" The question catches Stephen off guard,
"What about him?"
"What do you think about him?" Abby asks the question nonchalantly but she has purpose. Stephen ponders the question, and the reasoning behind it before answering.
"I think he's brilliant, if not childish. He's a bit," he searches for a word, "immature. If you get my meaning." He pauses again, still wondering why Abby's questioning him on it, "Why?" Abby shakes her head and looks out her window,
"I don't know." And then it hits him. The only reason she would ask something like that would be if-
"No way. Don't tell me that-"
"What? No! NEVER! Oh God! Stephen!"
"WHAT? You thought I was gay!"
"I didn't think you were gay!" Abby counters, "I suspected that you might be."
"Same thing Abby."
"No it isn't. Do you even know where we are?"
"Yes!" He gestures out the front, "The creature's path is really clear if you hadn't noticed." Abby smirks,
"Yeah, but where's the creature?" Stephen frowns.
"I don't know... Oh I see. That's what you were trying to- Yeah I see." Abby pats him on the shoulder, smiling,
"Might want to step it up." Stephen shoots her a half smile out of the corner of his eye before accelerating. "There you go. Where do you suppose it went? See that," she gestures to the clear path, "it looks like it just disappeared. Where do you think-?" She doesn't get to finish her question before the car is flipped over, glass crashing down on the two of them.
"Holy SHIT!" Stephen screams as suddenly he's touching the concrete with his arms and glass is covering his hair.
"My thoughts exactly! Stephen! Get out! Now!" Abby shouts as she struggles to unbuckle herself, pushing at the smashed door. The door is ripped off and Abby immediately backpedals.
"Damn! What the Hell is that Stephen?" She questions as a huge head pushes itself into the car. It looks like a tiger, but the stripes are diamonds and there is a strip of green, scale like skin that covers the middle of it's head and continues down it's back. It has gigantic fangs and is snapping at Abby, just out of reach.
"How the Hell would I know?" He's managed to unbuckle himself and is trying the door that's pinned to the pavement.
"Hurry up!" She kicks at the creatures head, hitting it on it's muzzle.
"Well it's not like I can lift the whole car up Abby! Be reasonable!"
"I kind of don't want to die right now Stephen!"
"Right there with you, hold on! Pardon," He excuses himself as he worms around her to get the gun in the back of the car.
"Do you really think I care about that right now? Just shoot the damn thing!" Stephen takes a seat in the back, bracing the gun to shoot at the creature. It turns from Abby to snap at Stephen. He shoots it in the mouth, once, twice, thrice. The creature shakes it's head before slumping over, asleep. Stephen pulls out his phone and calls Cutter,
"I think we found your creature."
