''So now what?''

''I don't know stop asking me Kris!'' Kelly sighed. She watched as her rose-cheaked-from-the-heat friend sigh in response. Sabrina wouldn't stop pacing, and it was starting to get annoying. ''Bri stop that!''

''Hey we need to get to the school, and I am not willing to spend the night with the coyotes!''

''Are there even coyotes here?'' Kris asked.

''Yeh, there are.'' Sabrina stopped pacing. ''Come on. It will get dark and cooler soon and when the sun comes down, we're in danger. Maybe the driver got a flat tire or something. I know that it is a long walk, but we can make it. Just keep walking east from the airport.''

Kris got up to protest, but it seemed to be a bit too much for her. She ended crashing into Bri, who carefully laid her on the ground. ''Hey, hey Kris!'' She was aware of Kelly kneeling next to her. ''Do we have any water?'' Sabrina asked. Her colleague nodded and passed her a small water bottle. At first Sabrina patted her friends cheek a little, but after getting no response, she opened the water bottle and proceeded to empty some contents over Kris' head. ''Hey! Wake up!'' Kris coughed and waved her arms around, one of them landing on Sabrina's nose.

''Goddammit!'' she exclaimed as she fell on the ground next to Kris, her nose buried in her palms.

''Are you stupid?!'' Kris yelled and got up to a sitting position. She tried to wipe the water off her face with her hand. ''What the hell did you do that for?!''

''You passed out, you idiot!'' Sabrina muffled through her hands. ''Great!'' she groaned loudly at Kris when she saw her hands were coated with blood.

''It's not my fault you know!''

Their fight was interrupted by the sounds of a horn. All three looked up to the large 4X4. A man with a large old cowboy hat jumped out.

''Hellooooh guuurls!'' he said merrily, taking his hat off and bowing. ''Looks like I was right oooon time! Hop in!''

''You were what?!'' Kelly growled, but Sabrina kicked her discreetly as they got into the car. It wasn't the time to start a fight with their only way out of the living hell. Kris flushed an even brighter shade of red as she got up and brushed her pants. She took the front seat.

The sun was gone, but the temperature wasn't quite relieving, at 100 degrees Fahrenheit, even without the sun scorching their heads in the no-roof 4X4. Sabrina sunk herself into the comfortable rear seat in some small relief and looked at her bloodied hands. Then back at Kelly, who was looking outside. She discreetly wiped them on Kelly's shirt, masking the action into a hug.

''Hey, what's wrong with you back off! Oh my God!'' Kelly shrieked and Sabrina prepared an apology in her mind. ''It's a spider-a spider-a spider get it away from me!'' She started swatting on her shoulders and knees. Kris turned around. ''Hey, it's just an insect, come on!''

''You shut up!''

In the meanwhile the spider had crawled it's way up to Sabrina's collar, and the next swat Kelly gave to the spider, ended half in the brunette's face.

''Ooof!'' Sabrina groaned. ''Nosebleed-nosebleed-nosebl-'' she was interrupted from another panicked slap. ''Stoppit Kelly!''

Kris calmly turned back again and captured the small spider between her thumb and index. ''It's not a poisonous one...'' she muttered.

''Throw it awayyyy!'' Kelly yelled in her ears, but Kris was looking at it even closer.

''When I was young...'' she started saying. ''I took small spiders and chopped their legs off... one by one... until they couldn't run anymore...''

Sabrina made a grimace of disgust, as she suddenly suspended her current task of nose wiping. ''Ew Kris. I really didn't need to know this.''

''Well Jill liked to eat them when she was in kindergarten...''

Kelly's left eye twitched nervously as she turned an odd shade of green. ''Enough. Enough!''

The driver smiled, and turned up the volume of a country music station.

''I am glad y'all are enjoyin' yer stay here!'' he said, a bit before he started singing along, without even noticing Kelly's eye twitching again, as Sabrina held her down to stop her from using brute force on Kris, to make her throw the spider away.
