CHAPTER EIGHT: Locals and City Lights
Caitie drove the streets of Las Vegas, her and Jaime both admiring the
lights that surrounded them. They were so bright it was almost blinding but
it was beautiful. It was late at night and it had taken them a week to get
there. They were tired and were searching for a hotel to stay at.
Something caught the corner of Caitie's eye. She turned to see a women in
a funny dress running into the middle of the street. She assumed the women
would stop when she saw Caitie coming, but the women did not. Caitie
slammed on her breaks and the women jumped onto the hood of Caitie's car.
Caitie screamed and Jaime's eyes grew big. Caitie couldn't move, even to
see if the women who looked lifeless was all right. Finally Caitie crept
out of her car and tip toed to the women lying on her hood. She slowly
leaned her head down towards the women's ear and whispered, "Are you O.K?"
Suddenly the women's head popped up and she screamed a phrase so quickly
Caitie almost couldn't understand, but it caused her to jump and scream.
"Can I wash your windows?" She asked holding up a squeegee.
Caitie got a closer look at the women's face. She had a beard. Caitie
cringed back in disgust until she realized it wasn't a women at all. "Oh my
god!" Caitie screamed.
"What?" He asked.
Caitie ran back to her car and rolled up her windows as the man crawled
off her car. "Is something wrong?" He asked.
"No, we uh, uh, we don't need our windows washed. We'll just be on our
way now. Thanks bye." And she sped away.
"Wow mom! I think this is a great place for vacation!" Jaime exclaimed
with a huge smile on his face. Caitie stared at her son in disbelief.
A little while later they found a hotel and checked in and awaited the
next day when there new lives would begin.
