Chapter 23
Sounds were coming from the front of the motor home when Kate slowly walked towards the source of it. She saw Jack throwing just about everything in the car about, trying to desperately to find something.
Finally he stopped after a couple of minutes when his eyes glistened and landed on a crumpled, yet important piece of paper. He eagerly stared at it, as if trying to remember it. When he was ready, he put the piece back in his pocket and sat back down at the driver's seat, getting ready to drive.
'Jack?' Kate asked almost too scared, 'Are you okay?'
Looking back at her, while still holding onto the wheel, he grinned as if nothing had happened and answered back,
'Yeah. I'm great!'
'Stanely, that's almost impossible! A week ago they were here in Iowa and now they are in... Texas? How did they get there with no use of transport?' he exclaimed not believing what he was seeing.
'Where abouts in Texas? The state is massive, they could be anywhere!' Ana replied getting angry, she wanted to do this job properly.
'Jeez, calm down, woman! I wasn't even talking to-' Roberts muttered as quitely as possible but obviously it wasn't quiet enough when he was soon cut off by Ana tackling him to the ground.
'Hey, hey!' Stanely yelled at them as he vilontly shook Ana off him to separate them.
'Don't ever tell me to calm down!' Ana screamed at him, fighting Stanely off.
'Okay, that's enough!' a voice was heard from behind, the head of the police station. 'If I see anymore of this, I will take all of you off the case immediately, is that understood?' he said sternly, his face sour. Roberts looked ashamed however Ana just looked proudly upwards.
'Now going back to your question, Roberts, they did have a use of transport. A motor home. And if I am right, it is still with them now? Because if it is, then we will be able to catch them by,' he continued looking at his watch which told him it was four o'clock, 'tonight.'
Once again, the vehicle was completely silent with only the noise of the engine being heard. They were on the road again, this time Jack being more calm and less nervous. He looked like he knew where he was going and Kate was sure that he did even though he wasn't telling her.
'We were meant to bring the motor home back three days ago.' Kate said, not really speaking to anyone.
'Yeah, but we have to keep travelling.' was Jack's reply after a few long minutes.
Realising that she wouldn't get a conversation going, she unbuckled her seatbelt and went back to the car. Soon after opening the door, she was covered in water and could only stare in surprise and frustration at the sight in front of her.
First of all, I want to apologise about my mistake in my last chapter, I know that Texas is a state and not a city and I felt extremely ashamed for mis-writing that! (blushes) Thanks for reading and reviewing everyone, as usual. Yes, I know that the last sentence didn't make any sense but it will be explained in the next chapter and will play a very important part in what is about to happen... which I'm not saying anything about but it will be a big surprise:D
