Chapter Three
On the way back to Sanctuary, Shalimar pretended not to notice the bags filling the back seat of the Audi, while Emma pretended not to notice what Shalimar had loaded into the trunk. This worked okay for a while, and they drove without problems. Unfortunately, Emma misread a sign that said 'STOP CONSTRUCTION WORKERS AHEAD' and instead of stopping she just slowed down. A strategically placed cop saw the whole thing and turned his lights and siren on to pull them over.
"Great job, Emma!" chided Shalimar. "What are you gonna tell Adam?"
"Don't worry, I can take care of this." Emma told her, looking like she got pulled over every day. This got her a strange look from Shalimar.
When Emma pulled over, the cop got out of his car and walked up to Emma's open window.
"Ma'am, do you know what you are being pulled over for?" The young policeman asked Emma.
"Yes, I misread the sign back there. Do you think that you could possibly let me off with a warning this time?" Emma asked the officer, while psi-blasting him so that he would let them go AND batting her eyelashes at the man.
"Oh, of course! If you ever need ANYTHING you just call down at the station and ask for Jimmy. I'll come straight away and help you out," the policeman said before walking back to his car and driving away.
"Emma! You can't just go around psi-blasting people to make them do your will! I won't tell Adam, IF you let me drive..." Shalimar slyly told Emma.
"Sure, why not?" Emma said and got out of the car to trade spots with Shalimar. Now, you see, letting Shalimar drive just wasn't the smartest thing to do- as it was, the car was already weighted in the back. (With all of Emma's bags from shopping that weighed about 50 and Shalimar's meat- and we can honestly say that the meat weighed at least 350. Now add in the fact that Emma only weighs 90 and Shalimar onlys weighs 105 wink wink) In fact, the Audi was almost dragging on the back end- the wheels were barely touching the ground in the front. Another reason why Shalimar should not have been allowed to drive was because of the fact Adam had forbidden her from driving any vehichle unless he noted otherwise since that awful incident.... Those poor animals...
Shalimar knew the car had too much weight in the back and so when she got in the driver's side she pulled into a vacant parking lot and started doing wheelies. After five minutes of this she was done playing and started back on the road to Sanctuary. It would be lying to say that the trip back was uneventful from here on. With Shalimar as the driver they were going an average speed of 175 km. an hour. When Emma was asked by Shalimar if she wanted to take the scenic route back, Emma should have said no. Instead she said yes, causing Shalimar to go wild with excitement for some strange reason.
The scenic way to get to Sanctuary caused you to go through a couple miles of farms. Most were grain farms, but Shalimar knew that some of them had animals, lots of animals... The people of these homes were very trusting with each other so they let their animals roam around freely. Perhaps in the future they will be more careful, considering they live near a fairly large road. Shalimar had visited here a lot during the nights, when she couldn't sleep.
Shalimar was looking around at all the animals, swerving each time she saw something that made her mouth water. Emma was oblivious to all of this- she had her head leaning on the window trying not to barf from Shalimar's crazy driving. All of a sudden Shalimar thought that she might be in heaven- up ahead there was a cow, a giant, giant cow, standing on the road. She gunned the Audi, going 200 km. an hour. The poor cow had no chance, even a superspeed mutant would not have been able to move in time.
CRASH! Shalimar had hit the cow head on. Emma jerked up from staring out the window to see what had happened.
"Oh Shalimar! You hit a poor cow. We have to get it back to Sanctuary and have Adam save it!" Emma pleaded with Shalimar.
"Sure.... Get the bungee cords out of the glove compartment. I'll attach it to the roof of the car, and then we'll take it back to Sanctuary. I'll have Adam prepare this big guy for me." Shalimar told Emma, who did not realize what Shal's last sentence meant.
It had taken a while to get the cow up, Shal even had to use her feral strength- the 'giant' cow weighed 250 kg. By the time Shalimar had gotten the cow onto the roof of the car Emma really had to go the bathroom. Shalimar decided to go back to the main road, but would not stop for Emma. She used the excuse that the cow had to get to Sanctuary, fast. Shalimar was lying through her teeth about the cow- she knew it was already dead, but she also knew that she liked her meat fresh.
Back at Sanctuary....
Adam and the boys had gotten tired of waiting for Shalimar and Emma. Instead of trying to contact them with the com-link rings, or realizing that it had been about three hours since the girls had left, they decided to play pool.
"Adam, I think you're cheating! You've won the past four games, and we've only played four games!" Jesse whined.
"Oh Jesse, you're just mad because you've been the biggest loser of us three. Really I'm sorry that the first games you didn't get to play, but if me and Adam get all the balls played before it's your turn, tough luck." Brennan said sticking up for Adam.
"I didn't get to play because you used your powers to put the ball in the pocket. You did cheat!"
"Now Jesse, you can't prove that Brennan used his powers. Don't claim things that you can't prove." Adam said protecting Brennan.
As the boys got into a full-fledged fight none of them even thought of the girls. After twenty minutes of screaming at each other Brennan and Jesse went to their rooms, and Adam went into the med-lab.
