"Okay Vincent! Bathroom break!" The lady said cheerfully, waking Vincent from having fallen asleep. "Oh, i'm sorry. I didn't realize you were asleep."
"It's alright." Vincent said sitting up a little in his seat. They had arrived at a gas station, and it was apparently dark out as the only light came from the dinky gas station and gas pumps. Vincent smiled a little seeing the darkness outside and the surroundings of the gas stations. The lady got out of the car, looking through her wallet and going up to the gas pump. Vincent grabbed the bookmark and put it into his book seeing out of the corner of his eye the pocket with the knife Scott had given him. The woman was in the perfect position, completely unaware with her back to the car.
"Vincent, do you want me to get you anything from the gas station? I'm going inside to use the bathroom." She asked, turning to the car.
"um a drink maybe, some snacks." Vincent said with a shrug.
"Do you want me to get one of those sandwiches with the toasted bread? I know toast always makes you feel better." She suggested.
"That'd be wonderful." Vincent said.
The lady nodded with a friendly smile as she stood and walked to the gas station, going inside.
"If this is going to work i have to make sure no one see's for one and that the clean up is quick and easy." Vincent muttered to himself looking around taking note of his surroundings. "Someone will notice if i leave her in the bathroom. And the cashier will see if i drag her from the front of the store. I need to get her to come out away from everyone's sight. And where am i going to go? I've never driven before. And i'm not going back to that stupid child services." Vincent muttered getting out of the car the knife in his pocket and the book in his other hand. Planning the scene out in his head, he walked up to the convenience store, walking past the cashier who didn't notice him. The lady was outside the women's restroom down a dark hall, hidden away from the cashier's view, apparently waiting for another woman to leave.
"Vincent? Is something wrong? The boy's restroom is the other hall." the lady said, noticing him.
"I think something is wrong with the car, i just noticed something was off when i was walking around stretching my legs out." Vincent said.
"Huh? What's wrong with it?" The lady looked concerned.
"I don't know exactly what it is that's why i wanted to let you know." Vincent said.
"Oh my." The lady sighed, walking out of the hall back to the car. "This trip is one problem after another."
Vincent followed close behind and smiled a little. The lady walked back to the car, walking around it to see what the problem had been.
"I don't see anything dear." She said.
"Look there, it just seems off a tad." Vincent said pointing to a spot close to the bottom of the car.
"You're sure something's wrong? This car's weird sometimes." The lady asked, getting down on her knees and looking at the car and under it.
