[To New York]

It had been a REALLY long day! Their joining flight from Philadelphia had been cancelled so they had to drive. At this point all Peter could think about was how much the rental car bill would be when we got it back to the airport. That and what might happen in New York. Most of the journey had been spent in silence, Megan had spent the drive to the air port, the plane ride and from the airport to the middle of no-where - it felt like - reading science magazines, reading the case file, texting Lacey and reading a book about a French queen. Peter, he just drove and drove listening to the droning sound of the radio. Suddenly something broke the silence.

"You want me to drive for a little while?" Megan's voice echoed trough the car.

"Sure, I'll pull over at the next gas station"

"Thanks, you look so bored!"

"Well der! I have done nothing all day apart from listening to walking on sunshine... and it's not even sunny!"

"Tut tut looks like rain!" Peter looked at Megan with a face spilling with confusion tut tut looks like rain he thought, has Megan spontaneously turned into a weather reporter?

"It's from winnie the pooh peter!"

"Oh right... I don't think I ever saw that?"

"What! You have never seen Winnie the pooh! You poor thing!" they both giggles as peter pulled into the gas station.

"I'll fill up; you can move your stuff"

"Got cha" Megan said as she flung open her door and through the magazines onto the back seat.

The gas station stunk of every car smell you could imagine: Gasoline, Diesel, Wind screen cleaner, car paint, everything! There was no-one around that she could ask where they were. What was that? She could hear the sound of lighters and smell cigarette like smoke, behind a large black bill bored were 4 teenagers, 3 boys and a skinny girl. They were wearing all black and had studded and chained jewellery covering most of their bodies. The girl had on massive thick leather studded boots and ripped black jeans. The boys had on band hoodies covering their faces and black or blood red skinny jeans. They looked scary for someone whose child hadn't gone through the thrash metal faze. Suddenly the girl looked up at Megan. "You gonna quit staring lady?" the girl snapped

"Oh sorry, I was just going to ask where I was, I'm trying to get to New York. Can you help me kid?"

One of the boys finally answered here while he lit a non-conventional looking cigarette. "bout 50 minutes at 40 till a junction, than left, keep going that way, that should get cha pretty close lady." The kids than all turned together and carried on smoking. "Thanks kids" Megan said as she walked back to the rental car. She spotted Peter leaning against the bonnet of the car with his arms folded looking at her. "You know them?"

"No, I was just asking how far I had to go"

"There is such thing as a map!"

"Yeah well... let's go" Megan walked over to the drivers' door and swung it open so she could slide into the seat. "Were you ever like that Megan?" Peter inquired as he slung himself tiredly into the adjacent seat to her. "What makes you think I was?" the car than began to rumble and they pulled out of the lonely gas station and headed off to the junction the gothic kid told her about. "So where you?"

"Maybe" Megan said sheepishly,

"You were! AWWW little Dr. Hunt was an emo!"

"I was not! I just liked loud music and dressing a little bit like that!"

"Sure" Peter through her a smile and carried on reading the case file Katherine had faxed him.

Suddenly a huge noise broke his concentration. The engine made a huge noise and then creaked. The bonnet door flew open and the car skidded over the road as Megan tried to slow it down. The car finally drake to a halt in a large block of trees surrounding a telephone pole. Smoke was pouring out of the car that was now wrapped around the post next to the road. They both groaned as the air bags pushed against their chests.

"Are you ok Megan?"

"It wasn't me!"

"I know" peter said simply as he tried to get out of the car. He pushed at the door a few times and it creaked open just enough for him to get out, he then ran to the other side and yanked at the driver's door. It opened with a clank and through peter back into the tree behind him. He then peered into the car to see Megan, her arms were flopped by her side and there was a dig cut along the top if her head, and she was bleeding a lot! "Doesn't look like we're going to get to the morgue at all today does it" she winced with a smile, she was ok but the only problem was, how is Peter going to get her out of there?

"Right hold still, I'm gonna pull you out!"

"Fine, just don't drop me Mr. Dunlop!"

"I'll try not to" with his last comment Megan laughed and reached out to grab peter. He grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the car enough to loop his stronger arm around her waist and pull her out of the dying car. "Gee you're strong!" Megan stated as she flopped into his arms, she was so tried and all of her hurt. "I should have kept driving!"

"ha-ha very funny, it wasn't my fault, the engine blow up!"

"year right!" Peter laughed down to her as he lifted her up into his arms and walked over to the grass verge running along the side of the road. they sat there for a little while without saying anything until Peters phone bleeped, it was Katherine Rader.

"where are you Pete?"

"sitting by the side if the road thinking of a way to get to your morgue"

"what!"

"we missed the plane so we had to drive, than the car broke so we are sitting by the side of the road thinking of what to do and how much the bill will be for writing off a rental car"

"You broke and crashed an airport rental car!" Raider said down the phone

"Yes" peter muttered. This made Megan laugh. Peter hated admitting that he broke a rental car.

"Where are you?"

"By the junction near Edensor I think"

"You're ages away, how did you get out there! You must have taken a wrong turn, are you both ok, I'll send out an ambulance"

"I'm alright but Megan's hurt if think, looks like her shoulders dislocated, ambulance is a good idea, can you call it in cause I actually have no idea where the hell we are"

"ok, I'll meet you at the hospital and bring you guys over the hotel across from the office when you're all patched up, I'll call it now, see you'll later"

"Great, see you than, by Kate

"bye Pete" after that she hung up. Peter turned towards Megan and moved closer to her, it was starting to get dark and it could take a while for the ambulance to get there, it was going to be a cold night.

"what are you doing?" Megan asked as Peter sat next to her

"Kate's going to call for an ambulance to come and get us than she'll pick us up later when we've been looked at."

"ok, Peter can you get my bag out of the back of the car so I can call Lacey?"

"sure" peter pushed himself off of the floor and limped towards the car. Dr. Hunt's mind drifted to what happened in the car, why couldn't she stop it and why did it swerve just slightly left to miss the post? She knew the crash wasn't her fault but she couldn't help feeling guilty

"here you go Doc" peter said handing Megan her bag and sitting back on the floor,

"thanks... what happened to your leg?"

"think I twisted it a little getting out of the car, it's fine, don't worry" it was getting darker and darker by the second, seen it would be pitch black outside and very cold, they both really hoped they would be somewhere warm soon.

Megan had just hung up after talking with Lacey when a large, neon coloured ambulance pulled up in front of them

"Peter Dunlop and Megan Hunt?" the paramedic asked as he sat a bag next to Megan and pulled out some bandages.

"yeah that's us, thanks for getting here so quickly, we thought we might freeze!"

"what happened?" the paramedic addressed the question to Megan as he began to treat the wound on her head.

"the engine blew and I couldn't get the car to stop, it swerved onto the post, I have no idea how fast it was going after it started skidding but I was only going at 30 before!" she assured the paramedic who nodded and assessed the cuts to her hands and neck.

"you hurt sir?" he asked Peter

"twisted my leg but other than that I don't think so" Megan looked up at peter with concerned eyes and the paramedic moved over to look at peters let. Unhelpfully, peter was wearing skinny jeans so they had to be cut at the knee. When the material was moved it revealed his leg covered in blood with a cut along one side.

"that's one hell of a twist Mr. Dunlop!" the paramedic joked as he pulled out some bandage to tie it up. Once all the wounds were covered we both hobbled into the van and it pulled away towards the nearest hospital leaving the rental car spitting out smoke till the early hours of the morning.
