Note: For fans of any of the Rambo books or movies, you will notice the dialogue and characters will be very similar in the first few chapter. I am not intending to remake or plagiarize the screenplay/novel First Blood. If there is something plagiarized, please PM me, for I do not want to get this story or my account deleted. Again, the story may seem to follow the same plot of the movie, but that is only there so it can start Drago's adventure. This WILL be different as the story progresses.

Chapter Two

Thomas Lombardi, The Police Chief of Hope, Corneria, woke up.

"Ah! What a beautiful day!"

Lombardi walked outside, got into his police car, and drove around town. "Hi Sheriff!" People would say as he drove by and waved back. Everything seemed to be going good for him. Except for his divorce. His divorce was the most painful event in his life. God, why did she leave me? Why?

As he was turning the corner he saw a man with an army jacket, camo pants, long fur on the top of his head and under his chin, who was carrying a duffle bag. Jeez, another hitchhiker. Better get him outta here. Lombardi drove up to the man.

"Where are you goin?"

The man shrugged.

"Northwest."

"Why don't ya hop in? I'll give ya a lift."

The man seated himself in the car and the car drove.

"Is there a hotel or restaurant around here?"

Lombardi looked at the man.

"There's a motel about 50 miles out of town."

The man looked back at Lombardi.

"Well, is there a law or something that won't let me get something here?"

"Yeah. You're looking at it."

"Why?"

"You see, we don't like people like you just walking into town. It really scares the hell outta people. Where are you headin'?"

"Corneria City."

"That's Southeast, not Northwest. You should really know your directions."

"Like I have to. Especially from a jerk like you."

Lombardi held up a gun to the man's neck. I don't like this guy.

"Watch your language or I'll kill you, young man."

The car went across a bridge to a sign that said: Corneria City: 50 miles.

"Here's your stop."

The man got out.

"Have a good day hitchhiker!"

Lombardi drove off.
