Chapter 12: Joyride
Vinny is at The Boulders with an icepack on his knee. Jake and Sarah are their.
"How's your knee?" Jake asked Vinny.
"It's doing fine. I just have an icepack on it because I like the feel of something cold and wet on my knee." Vinny replied sarcastically.
"Why don't you get a dog then?" Sarah then asked sarcastically.
"I was joking." Vinny told her.
Elliot removes the icepack from Vinny's knee.
"It looks like a sprain." Elliot told him.
"Thanks Dr. Murtaugh." Vinny told him sarcastically.
"You don't have to be a jerk about this." Sarah told him.
"I'm not a jerk." Vinny said.
"Yes, you are." Sarah then said.
"Am not." Vinny replied.
"Are too." Sarah then said.
"Am not." Vinny sighed.
"Are too." Sarah told him.
"Stop fighting!" Jake yelled.
"What's your problem?" Sarah asked him.
"My problem is you two. Mike has a sprained ankle because of you two." Jake explained.
"How's that my fault? She was the one that poured the olive oil on the floor." Vinny said pointing to Sarah.
"And you got maple syrup all over me." Sarah told him.
"That's after I slipped on the skateboard that you put near the couch." Vinny then told her.
"Enough!" Jake then yelled.
"You two need to settle your differences." Elliot told them.
"As if." Sarah scoffed.
"You have a better chance of hell freezing over." Vinny laughed.
Sarah, Jake and Elliot walk out of The Boulders. Sarah shows Jake and Elliot the keys to Vinny's Z.
"How did you get those?" Jake asked.
"I took them off the table." Sarah smirked.
"Vinny is so going to kill you." Elliot said.
"Not if he doesn't find out." Sarah then smiled.
Vinny looks at the table where he had his car keys.
"Jimmy, have you seen my car keys?" Vinny asked as Jimmy walked in.
"They're on the table where you left them." Jimmy replied.
"No they're not." Vinny sighed.
"Then, where could they be?" Jimmy then asked.
"I think I have an idea." Vinny scowled.
Sarah, Elliot and Jake are in Vinny's Z taking a joyride.
"Sarah, Vinny is going to find out about this." Elliot said.
"Who's going to tell him?" Sarah asked.
"I think he would notice the seat being moved up." Jake replied.
"Stop worrying." Sarah smiled.
"I swear if Vinny catches us in here he'll kill us." Elliot told them.
"I'm a girl." Sarah replied.
"What's your point?" Jake asked.
"He would kill you two. I'm a girl so, he wouldn't touch me." Sarah smirked.
"I don't think he would care if you're a girl." Elliot told her.
The Z gets stuck in a ditch and can't move. Jake's cell phone rings.
"Hello?" Jake answered.
"Where the fuck is my Z!" Vinny yelled.
"It's for you." Jake said as he hande his cell phone to Sarah.
"Hello?" Sarah answered.
"Where is my Z?" Vinny asked.
"With me, Jake and Elliot." Sarah replied.
"You had to use my name?" Elliot asked.
"Bring it back here." Vinny told her.
"I would but, it's stuck in a ditch." Sarah said.
"Where are you guys?" Vinny then asked.
"I don't know. They don't have street signs here." Sarah told him as she hung up Jake's cell phone.
"Sarah? Sarah!" Vinny yelled.
Vinny hangs up his cell phone.
"Why did you say my name?" Elliot then asked.
"If me and Jake are going to get into trouble, it wouldn't be fair if you didn't also." Sarah smiled.
"Thanks for the consideration." Elliot said sarcastically.
"It can't get any worse." Sarah told them.
"Don't say that." Jake told her.
"Why?" Sarah then asked.
"Anytime you say 'It can't get any worse' it usually does." Elliot explained.
"You guys watch way too many movies." Sarah laughed.
They hear a clap of thunder and see lightening.
"At leats it didn't start raining." Sarah told them.
It starts to pour now.
"You were saying?" Jake laughed.
"Shut up." Sarah sighed.
Jake and Elliot look out into the woods.
"Aren't those the woods where those three teenagers were killed?" Jake asked Elliot.
"Yeah." Elliot replied.
"Noone was murdered out here." Sarah told them.
"Are you sure?" Elliot then asked.
"I'm positive." Sarah answered.
"I think that two teenagers were 17 and one was 16." Elliot said to Jake.
"Just like us?" Jake then asked.
"Two boys and a girl." Elliot replied.
"Stop it you two." Sarah snapped.
"Stop what?" Jake asked.
"Trying to scare me." Sarah replied.
"I think that's one of them now!" Elliot yelled.
Jake grabs Sarah's seat. Sarah screams in fright.
Jake and Elliot are rolling in hysterics.
"I hate you guys!" Sarah yelled.
Back at The Boulders.
"I'm going to kill them." Vinny told Jimmy.
"Calm down, they probably just took it out for a joyride." Tom told him.
"Without my permission. That's called stealing and that's a federal offense." Vinny stated.
"You would actually have Sarah arrested?" Mike asked him.
"Maybe." Vinny shruggged.
"You're not having my sister hauled off to jail." Lorraine told him.
"Okay." Vinny said.
"Mike stay here with Vinny while me, Calvin and Mr. Murtaugh go look for them." Tom told Mike.
"I want to see Jake and Sarah get in trouble." Mike said.
"And I want to go." Vinny told Tom.
"What about your knee?" Tom asked.
"I'll live. It's just a sprain." Vinny replied.
"Lorraine, take Mike back to our cabin." Tom said to her.
"Okay, come on Mike." Lorraine said as her and Mike headed out the door.
Calvin, Jimmy, Tom and Vinny go to look for Jake, Sarah, Elliot and most importantly Vinny's Z.
"I'm bored." Jake said.
"We can't go anywhere." Sarah told him.
"This sucks." Elliot sighed.
"Tell me about it." Sarah replied.
"Why did you have to steal Vinny's keys?" Jake asked her.
"Why not?" Sarah then asked.
"It's called Grand Theft." Elliot told them.
"I had the keys. That's not Grand Theft." Sarah laughed.
"You still stole those keys." Jake commented.
"Nothing bad is going to happen." Sarah told them.
Just then they hear a knock on the window.
"It's the ghost of those teenagers!" Jake screamed.
Elliot takes a flashlight and shines it at the window.
"Worse, it's Vinny." Sarah moaned.
Jake and Elliot get out of the Z.
"When I tell you to start the Z, start it." Vinny explained.
"I know." Sarah said.
Vinny, Elliot and Jake start to push the Z. Sarah turns it on and starts to give it some gas. Mud is flying everywhere. Jake, Elliot and Vinny are covered in mud. They get it out of the ditch.
"That's good!" Vinny yelled to Sarah.
Sarah stops the Z and gets out. Jake, Elliot and Sarah get into the van with Tom, Calvin and Jimmy. Vinny puts a towel on his seat and gets into the Z. They head back to The Boulders.
