Chapter 4
"So, where're we going?" Jeff asked as he pulled on his seatbelt.
"Oh the gym." Amy responded keeping her eye on the rear view mirror as she backed out of the driveway.
"Yeah but...what are we gonna be doing there?" Jeff said a little nervously.
Amy held a hand up. "Hang on a sec...this is a busy intersection." She said pretending to concentrate on the road. She did this for about ten minutes before stopping.
"Uh...It's a red light...and there are no other cars around. So how about you tell me now." Jeff said.
"Shh...hang on a few more seconds." Amy said driving quickly through a busy street in Sanford, before triumphantly pulling into a parking place at a small building. Outside the door hung a pink script sign that read in Curves – fitness for women.
"Uh...this is your mom's gym?" Jeff said as he saw four women walking into the building talking animatedly.
"Yep. Well you remember how I told you that one time that she came to visit me in New York and she got mugged."
"Oh my God...no you didn't tell me that."
"Oh yeah...I told your stupid brother." Amy said sulkily.
"Well what happened?" Jeff asked concernedly.
"Obviously she's fine. But the guy took her bags and pushed down to the ground. Thank god he didn't do anything else to her or I swear to go I would have killed him..." Amy said vehemently.
"Is she okay Ames?"
"Yeah she's fine. I think I may have been a lot more disturbed than my mom. But anyways I made her learn some self defense moves just to make sure she would know what to do in case it ever happens again."
"That's great Ames."
"I know. But anyways, she also started going to the gym a few months ago and one of the ladies she works out with had a sister who also got attacked in California. So my mom decided to show her the self-defense moves that I taught her. And that lady taught another lady and so now they invited me to come and teach a full self defense class for the gym."
"That's really really great Ames."
"I know so of course now I'll be showing them how to defend themselves in case a real attacker comes at them which is where you come in. Let's go." Amy said jumping out of the car and going to her trunk to get a big duffle bag.
Jeff sat in the car thoughtfully in the car.
"Uh....Amy." Jeff said hesitantly. Amy ignored him and walked towards the gym.
"Amy..." Jeff called out again this time climbing out of the car and ran after her. He stopped outside of the gym.
"Amy!"
"What?"
"Why do you need me to come with you?" Jeff squeaked out.
Amy shrugged. "Well, I promised them that they would be able to try out their new skills from a real attacker."
"And who's going to be the attacker?" Jeff asked nervously.
"You of course." She said before grabbing his arm and yanking him into the gym.
"So, where're we going?" Jeff asked as he pulled on his seatbelt.
"Oh the gym." Amy responded keeping her eye on the rear view mirror as she backed out of the driveway.
