Chapter 5
Let's Go
Sheperd, Yugi, and Joey all got up early and met out at the park.
"So, uh, how are we gonna get there?" Joey asked.
"Watch and learn," Sheperd smirked.
He lead them to a parking lot. There were tens of thousands of cars. He went to each car and tried the door. None opened. He went to car after car after car trying to open each one until finally, with a victorious click, opened.
"Ah, finally," Sheperd smiled. "Hop in."
Joey and Yugi looked at the car. It was a rough Jeep. It looked as though it may have been through some swamp lands lately.
"Are you sure this is legal?" Yugi asked, plopping himself in the passenger's seat.
"I know it's not, but we need to stretch the rules a little," Sheper stated, bending down to the wiring in the steering wheel. "Besides, we'll return it when we're done."
Joey, who was now in the back seat, and Yugi both exchanged nervous glances.
"Duh, maybe we should walk," Joey suggested.
"Do you know how far it is from here to Wolf Valley?" Sheperd asked, not looking up from his work.
"No," Joey stated.
"It's about a two hour drive," Sheperd stated. "It took me longer because I made detours. Some of them on purpose, others, not. But it would take us a lot longer on foot."
"What are you doing?" Yugi wondered.
"Don't worry about it, I know what I'm doing," Sheperd reassured him.
A couple of more seconds passed before the car started. Sheperd raised himself into the driver's seat with a proud smirk.
"Hold on, 'cause here we go!" Sheperd told the two passengers as he pressed downt the gas petal.
The wheels spun a little and then, sped forward. Sheperd guided the car out of the parking lot and onto the highway.
"I think I need to lay down," Joey stated as he stretched out on the back seat.
There was silence until Joey's snoring came to their ears.
"Sheperd, is this such a good idea?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know, but it's the only chance we've got," Sheperd replied, fixing his eyes on the road.
"I understand he's your brother and all, but why go to the great lengths to save him?" Yugi asked.
"I've had a hard life, and he's the only thing that actually pulled me through sometimes," Sheperd explained.
"Well, how bad could they be?" Yugi asked.
IF ONLY YOU KNEW YUGI, IF ONLY YOU KNEW, Sheperd thought.
Pretty soon, Yugi fell to sleep too. But Sheperd couldn't sleep. Not only because he was driving, but because he wasn't tired. He blood was rushing. This was it, and he was ready.
