Long Trip - Part 4

He started crying. Judy was sad too, but not as sad as Pete was. Pete put the car in first gear and slowly pulled into the driveway. When he stopped he said to Judy, while still crying, "I will find Nick and bring him here...stay here and don't go out." He stepped out of the car, blew his nose, and stopped crying. Judy was sad and scared, thinking about how Nick would react when he saw her. It was 4:45 A.M.

A few minutes later, Judy saw somebody walk out from the house. She shook a little bit because now there were two people on her side of the car outside. Then she heard someone being pushed into the hood of the car. It was Nick fighting with Pete, or more like Nick punching Pete.

Nick shouted at Pete and punched him. "How dare you come here when my mother died?! How dare you?! You filthy stealer! You stupid veteran! Its sad that when you disarmed the bomb it didn't blow up when you were disarming it, but it blew up in the truck with my friends!" Nick was punching Pete really hard. Judy was scared, she had never seen Nick that angry before.
Then when Nick stopped for while, panting, Pete said, "I am sorry that she had to see this..." And he spit blood from his mouth.
Nick asked, "What the hell are you talking about?"
Still panting, Pete said, "Never mind...end it...please..." Nick motioned his head, swung his arm in the air, and then he heard a loud shout that came through tears.
"NICK STOP IT, PLEASE!"

It was Judy. She was crying. Nick let Pete go. Pete sank to the ground in front of the car. Nick was terrified that Judy saw everything. He tried to walk over to her and explain everything, but she jumped into the car and closed the door. Nick came to the window and start trying to explain. "Judy please come out...We...We can talk about this... I didn't want to do that, but he deserved it! Judy?...Cottontail?"
But Judy only said, "Don't ever call me that, you psycho..." She was still crying.
"What did he tell you, Judy?" Nick asked. "Did he tell you that he was dropped from the army for making 15 foxes go to the sand? He didn't know how to disarm a bomb, so he pretended that the bomb was safe to move. After a truck started to move, the bomb exploded, killing 15 young foxes." He leaned back against the car door. "Judy, four of those young foxes were my friends. He deserved it."

Nick put his head between his legs. He started to cry too. He lifted his head up again and talked to Judy through the tears. "For a moment I was hoping that my mom would be alright, but then..." He stopped for a second, "But then I met the doctor, who said that she only had a few hours of life left...It was like..." he stopped again. "I was thinking about why I didn't tell you...Why I didn't take you with me...You know why?"
He heard only silence in response. "Because I was scared that I would scare you with my reaction...I didn't want you to see me cry, but now I think, seeing me cry might have been better than what just happened." He laughed through tears, but this time it didn't help him.

He said, "Okay Judy, I know that life between us will never be the same as before, so if you want, after the funeral I will never show my face to you again. And I will quit my job as a police officer." And then through heavy tears he choked out, "But remember..that...that..." He couldn't end it. He started crying even harder, his face buried in his paws.

He removed his paws from his eyes for a bit and saw Judy being held by Pete, with a gun pointed at her head. She spoke quietly through Pete's hand, "...Nick...HELP!"

It was 5 A.M.
