Fire burned in Jimmy's eyes as he angrily grabbed Cindy's hand and led her down the dark street. The streetlights flickered on as looked up at the sky. He was getting pretty sick of what he had become. He hated himself for tying that guy up. And the sooner they ended this whole ordeal, the sooner he could go back to being his old self. Not to mention see his friends and family again.

"Come on," Jimmy muttered as Cindy began to slow him down. "We're finding a library and figuring out where the heck we are."

"What happened to the maps you printed out before?" she asked while shaking his grip off of her arm.

Jimmy frowned. "Libby was shot. I wasn't really in the mood to organize our maps. Let's just get to a computer and they we can leave this stinkin' town."

Twenty minutes later Jimmy was sitting in front of a computer, quickly typing in various commands. Me may have changed a lot over the past week, but he certainly hadn't lost his computer skills. Cindy struggled to follow what he was doing as his fingers darted across the keyboard.

"Got it," he said. "We're in the middle of Oklahoma. Maybe fifty miles from Retroville." He exited out of the internet and began tapping the table. "Riding the bus is too risky. Someone will recognize us."

"And we're not stealing another car." Cindy shuddered as she remembered the last time she had driven them.

"Agreed," Jimmy said without looking up. If we steal some bikes, we could make it there in a few days."

"We could always hitchhike," Cindy suggested.

Jimmy thought about that for a moment. "Hitchike?" he asked. "That's too risky. Someone could recognize us and drop us off at a police station somewhere. We'd be better off taking bikes."

"Fine," Cindy glumly said as Jimmy got up and started walking out of the library. "We steal again."

Jimmy stopped walking and turned around. "We have to do it, Cindy. They're just things. The stuff we're stealing, I mean. If we don't do it, we could die." He stared at her a moment. "Besides, you're the one who started the whole stealing thing, right?"

"Well, it's getting a little insane now," Cindy said while continuing to walk out the door.

"You're just noticing that?" Jimmy incredulously asked as they approached the bike rack. "Things have been insane for a while now, Cindy."

Cindy reluctantly stood in front of Jimmy and kept watch as he took out the laser and melted the chains protecting the bikes. "Yeah. I know," she whispered.

After a few seconds Jimmy stood up and hopped on one of the bikes. Cindy took the other one. "Let's go," he said while kicking off.

Cindy lifted her hand to her face and frowned. "Jimmy, I can barely see two feet in front of me. We can't ride at night."

Jimmy nodded as they pedaled down the street. "There's a park three miles from here. We'll camp there for the night."
