"YOW!!!!" Hammy screamed as RJ pepper sprayed him. He started to cough and bounce around the SUV, trying to get the spray out of his eyes.
"Ow ng ill e et here?" Verne asked through the scarf covering his eyes and mouth.
"What did you say? I can't understand you." RJ told him, uncovering his own mouth.
Verne held up a finger and undid his scarf. "I said, how long until we get there?"
RJ had opened his mouth to answer when a collective "Uh-oh" came from Quillo, Spike and Buckey. "What's up?" RJ said rushing to the front.
"The squirrel just opened the gate to get in," started Spike.
"But it's started to close," continued Quillo.
"And we only have thirty seconds to get through before it closes and we're left outside," Buckey finished.
"Hold on!" all three said at once and they pressed down the gas petal as hard as they could.
