Chapter 6

"I hope I'm doing the right thing..." Bolt said in his mind as he headed East.
"What am I saying?! Of course I'm doing the right thing!" Bolt said to himself out loud.

(A little ways back behind Bolt...)

"Of course I'm doing the right thing!" is what Maybelle heard Bolt say.
Maybelle looked confused.
"What is he talking about?... And to who?" Maybelle asked herself.

(BACK TO BOLT)

Bolt saw a highway coming into sight. It was still a little dark out, but the sun was just starting to come up, so he could see a little better than before. Bolt just needed to hitch a ride like he, Mittens, and Rhino did back then. Bolt came closer and closer to the highway. He saw a truck with a load of machinery tires on a flat bed. It was coming closer. The truck was maybe 100 feet away now, and so Bolt started running. He quickly got up to speed, then jumped up onto a free space on the flat bed, in between some tires. Once he got on, he quickly sat down so he wouldn't happen to fall off. Bolt took one last look at the grove of trees he just came out of.
"Goodbye, Maybelle. I'll be back soon." Bolt said and he looked forward to see where the truck was taking him.

(BACK TO MAYBELLE)

Maybelle was still following Bolt's scent. It led to a highway. Maybelle sniffed out where the scent took her... down the highway. Maybelle was still tracking until Bolt's scent became weaker and weaker to the point that she couldn't track his scent anymore.
Maybelle looked around. She couldn't see Bolt.
"Where did he go? What happened to him? Did a human dog-nap Bolt?" Maybelle asked herself.
Maybelle was too far into thinking that she didn't realize that she was still in the middle of the lane of the highway. There was a pair of head lights coming down the lane that Maybelle was standing in. When the lights got closer and brighter, the horn blared, the horn brought her back to reality. Maybelle jumped out of the way, just in the nick-of-time when the pick-up truck passed by her.
"Moron! Jeez, no respect for animals." Maybelle said.
Maybelle didn't notice that when she jumped out of the way of that pick-up, she jumped into the center of the left lane. A car was coming towards her with it's brights still on. Maybelle looked at the car for a moment and got ready to jump off the road.

"Maybelle! Watch out!" someone screamed from behind her.

Maybelle looked in the direction that the voice came from.

And then it happened...
