Chapter 5: Rest stop mishap

Kayako huffed at the vending machine, he kicked it and smacked it but it refused to give her the soda she wanted. The TallMan noticed this, he couldn't help hut chuckle at her strife with the vending machine and walked over to her "What seems to be your problem?" he asked kindly, taking a sip of the coffee he had gotten.

"The vending machine refuses to give me my drink!" she turned to the Coke machine "Evil machine." Those words made The TallMan chuckle more noticeably, catching Kayako's attention "What's so funny?"

"What you said." he sipped his coffee "Evil Machine, ironic given our line of work." He looked to the machine "What was it you were trying to get?"

"Orange Fanta." Kayako said quietly, The TallMan noticed since his recruiting of her, she barley spoke, and when she did it was usually in a hushed tone. She reminded him of a girl he used to know back when he was Jebediah. The TallMan placed money into the machine and picked the soda she wanted, making her jump and clap with glee. their quiet moment was interrupted by Ash and Herbert running out of the bathroom, screaming.

The TallMan raised an eyebrow "Boys what is the matter?"

The two men were huffing and wheezing, Herbert speaking first, "We know who has the book!"

Ash cut in, "Candyman."

Kayako handed her soda for the men to drink and settle down.

"You mean the urban legend?" The TallMan gave it some thought, as Kayako provided refreshment.

"Are you better now?" Kayako asked them, Ash dug in his pocket and gave her a handful of quarters, "Get more of those." Herbert nodded in agreement. Kayako giggled at the two. As Kayako got more pop she noticed The TallMan deep in thought, he had a remembrance look n his face, as if he has heard the name 'Candyman' before. Ash heard a strange noise coming from his car.

"My car!" Ash yelled as the group ran to see what was going on, they stopped when they saw a disheveled man in a dark blue coverall driving away. Ash stomped the ground, "Crap! My chainsaw and boomstick were in there!"

The TallMan raised an eyebrow and the speeding car stopped. The Shape that had stolen the car got out and walked further down the road. Ash, running to his car, yelled "Yeah you better run! Asshole." He looked to The TallMan "How did that happen?"

"I'll tell you later, for now, we must head to Cabrini Green. Chicago, Illinois."The TallMan stated. So the group had gotten in the car and kept driving.

This wasn't a long chapter, but it sets up for a major backstory. This was more of a character development chapter between The TallMan and Kayako just being natural. With stories that have PLOT you kind of expect chapters like this.
