Chapter 5
An hour later, Vash, Milly, Meryl, Knives, and Nate are squashed into a rented car, along with all their luggage. They had, about 35 minutes ago, said a tearful goodbye to Emerald and the kids, who made Vash promise to bring back Nate in one piece.
Now, Knives drives the vehicle along a faint path in the desert. Every once in a while, Vash leans forward from the back seat to tell him to turn left or right, but he never says where they're going, which pisses Knives off to no end.
"Vash, where the hell are we headed?"
"You'll see," is all he replies.
"How long will it take to get there?"
"Just another day or so."
"What are we going to do when we arrive?"
"Sore wa himitsu desu!" Vash replies, winking and wagging his finger at Knives. The others sweatdrop. "Oops, sorry. Wrong anime!"
Silence as Knives is too frustrated to ask any more questions and get more cryptic answers.
After a while, Vash pulls a deck of cards from his pocket and turns to Nate with an innocent smile.
"Wanna play Go Fish?"
Nate narrows his eyes and says, "I accept."
Vash narrows his eyes, too, and deals. They both hunch over their cards protectively and alternately glance at their hands and glare at each other.
"Got any 8's?"
Meryl, next to them, sweatdrops.
A/N: Sorry that chapter was so short. I divided it all after it I finished the writing, and it just worked out that way. More later, whenever Maddy-chan gets back to me. (hint, hint, nudge, nudge, Maddy-CHAN!)
