Chapter two
"I know a song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends," drifted out from the backseat of the car. Kate Giller, twenty-five, pulled the car off the road and turned to face her singing adversary.
"MEGAN!" she screamed. Megan quickly stopped singing her song and crunched herself up into a tiny ball. She giggled and Elijah groaned and pushed himself farther into the corner.
"I'm a little ball of fluff," Megan said between giggles and squeals of excitement. Kate looked to the seat next to her and smiled at Craig who sat beside her with his hands over his ears.
"According to these directions we should stop right about here," Kate said pulling forward an inch from where they had stopped. Everyone immediately jumped out of the car leaving Megan alone. The three clustered together.
"Ok, the guy said we'd get our next instructions from here? But where are they?" Elijah said scanning the horizon. Everywhere around them was desert. Probably due to the fact that they were in Arizona but you never know.
"This is stupid, I'd rather be back in the car with Ms. Happy in there than be drenched in sweat," Craig said just as a low rumble began under their feet. Megan jumped out of the car screaming,
"IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kate quickly ran to her so that she wouldn't hurt herself in her frenzy. A helicopter circled above them dropping a small parcel landing directly on Elijah's head.
"Oh boy," Elijah said as he crumpled to the ground unconscious. Megan pointed at Elijah's body.
"The funny man is sleeping," she said. Craig and Kate looked at Megan in disgust. Megan, ignoring their looks, went over and picked up the item that had been dropped.
"It's a pair of sunglasses!" Megan squealed and tossed them to Kate. Kate looked them over and cringed.
"A pair of Brittney Spears sunglasses! Man, I didn't know the IMF was THAT broke!" Kate held them out Craig who declined gratefully.
"Last time I put on those things I couldn't take them off and you know, BOOM!" Kate nodded and looked at Megan who was now kicking Elijah's unmoving body.
"Wake up happy man!" she screamed. Kate just shook her head and put the sunglasses on. All she saw was the surrounding territory.
"They don't seem to be working," she said whacking them with her hand. A voice came blaring into her ear.
"Good morning Kate. Sorry for such a distant location but due to the low budget we couldn't afford anything fancier. So, without further delay, your mission if you choose to accept it is to go to Vegas and retrieve my ham sandwich. It was very tasty and my wife made it and, gosh, I just want it back. The man you are searching for is Carlos hitshishead. If any of your team dies, and we hope one, namely Megan, dies, we will disavow all knowledge of that person. These sun glasses will self destruct in a few seconds." Kate quickly threw the sunglasses onto the ground.
Ten minutes Later..
"Can we go yet?" Elijah muttered rubbing his bruised head. Kate put a finger to her mouth and watched the sunglasses intently. If they were going to blow up she'd be there to watch. Megan had begun to poke the sunglasses with a stick.
"Glasses go boom!" Megan said just as the sunglasses decided to explode. Craig got up from his place next to Elijah and wiped his hands on his pants.
"Can we go now? Megan is giving me a headache!" Craig complained. Megan ran up to him and pulled at his sleeve.
"Craig! I want a pair of Brittney Spears! I want some! PLEASE!?" she squealed jumping up and down. Craig roughly threw her from his arm and looked to Kate.
"What did the man want?" he asked. Elijah joined them. He was followed, sadly, by Megan. Kate explained the current situation and what they had to do. They all nodded in agreement.
"So it's settled," Elijah said with a sly grin, "Vegas anyone?"
