Chapter Seventeen: Let the Road Part 1

(7:17 pm, through the mountain's between Nome and White mountain)

Thomas walked outside with Max and Ozzy right behind him. "Are you sure you know what you are doing?" Ozzy mowed from the back seat of the car. Thomas looked from the rearview mirror and smiled. "Of course I've done this at least twice," Thomas said with a cheerful smile. Ozzy looked at Max and shook his head. "Don't think he knows what he's doing," Ozzy whispered into Max's ear.

Thomas then slowed down the car and pulled it to the side. "Look if you don't trust me then go out. Other wise sit down or lay down or do whatever. At least it was nice that Kurt let us use his old car," Thomas explained. Ozzy and Max both looked at each other again and then looked back at Thomas. "Well anything you guys want to add?" Thomas asked. Max and Ozzy both shook their heads.

"Good, now lets get going before the storm hits. Looks like its going to be a nasty one too," Thomas said before he started the car again and headed down the road Kurt had told them to go on. Ten mintues have passed and no has said a word. "Could we at least listen to some music or something?" Ozzy cried from the back seat. Max looked at the small kitten and laughed. "Man how does Charlie deal with you?" Max asked Ozzy then looked at Max and blinked before answering.

"That wasn't very nice," Ozzy added. Max laughed. "Who said I was nice," Max said with a grin. "No wonder Toby thought you were a dick," Ozzy said under his breath. Max only heard a tiny bit of what Ozzy had said. Max then got into Ozzy's face, "What was that flea bag ?!" Max growled. Thomas again looked into the rearview mirror and saw what was going on. "Guys come I'm driving here," Thomas Spoke up. Max rolled his eyes before jumping to the front with Thomas.

"What were you guys guys fighting about?" Thomas asked as he turned the corner. Max sighed. "Nothing," Max answered. Thomas nodded taking a turn to left on the road. "Look Thomas... I'm sorry about everything between you, me and Ashely," Max explained as he looked out the window. Thomas hesitated before answering. "Look. The only thing that I know now is that I know that you love her and that's all i could give for her right now," Thomas explained with a smile.

Max nodded. Looking away from Thomas. "You think everyones alright? I mean since we have been gone?" Max asked looking up at Thomas. Thomas then slowed down the car to take another turn in the hills. "I... I... I don't know," Thomas said looking on his left seeing a gas station up ahead. Thomas then looked at the gas gage and noticed it was getting low and they still had a long way home. "Hang on guys I think we need to get some gas," Thomas said as he turned into the gas station.

Thomas then pulled up to a gas pump and then turned off the car and opened his door. Before stepping out he looked at both Ozzy and Max. "You guys need anything?" Thomas asked. Before they could answer a man walked up to the car and grabbed Thomas by his shoulders and dragged him out of the car. "Hey What the hell?" Thomas asked as he tired to get up. The man then pulled out a gun and pointed it as Thomas. "Hey man I don't want any trouble I just want your car alright?" The Man said nervously.

Thomas nodded giving the keys the man. The man then took the keys quickly from Thomas's hand. "Alright man don't do anything stupid," The man said as he puts the key in the ignition and turns it starting the car. The man then noticed that the Cat and Dog were out of the car. "Hey wheres the Cat and Dog?" The man asked. Thomas shrugged, "I don't Know maybe you scared them away," Thomas answered. "Damn It! Did you tell them to do get help or something?" The man asked still pointing the gun at Thomas.

Thomas shook his head. "Nope how can I?" Thomas asked. The man smiled as he slapped Thomas with the end of his gun. "Come on man don't play!" The man shouted. Max jumped out of the shadows and bit the man's left leg. "Ouch god damn it!" The man screamed in pain. The man then pointed the gun at Max's head. "No!" Thomas shouted and he stood up and punched the man in the face making him drop his gun. "Come on lets get out of here!" Thomas shouted.

The three of them then started to run for their lives as The man who wanted to the car stood up and grabbed his gun and pointed it Thomas's leg as he ran. A gun shot was fire and Thomas fell to the ground. The man then jumped into the car and drove off before anything else got worse. Max and Ozzy then looked back seeing that Thomas had fallen to the ground. "No," Max said as he raced over to Thomas.

"Thomas... Thomas... Thomas... Are you alright?! Please answer me!" Max shouted with cracks inbetween his word's. Thomas's vision slowly started to fade away as he tried to hold his leg. "Max!" A voice said behind him. Max turned around seeing Boris. "Uncle Boris Please help!" Max said as he ran over to him. "Max what's going on?" Boris said as he flew over to him. "Its Thomas he needs help," Max explained. Boris looked at Thomas's leg seeing that he was losing blood.

"Okay your grandfather sent me to look ahead to find all of you. So right now I need to you to put him on something that way you can make a homemade sled and take him half way towards Nome," Boris explained. Max shook his head. "Uncle Boris I'm not sure if I can do grandpa was the only one who could do that stuff," Max said with fear in his voice. "I know he did but his blood is you. You can do this and if you don't Thomas will die!" Boris explained. "Max... you... can... do... This..." Thomas weakly.

Max looked down at Thomas and nodded, "Okay I got you're back," Max said with a smile. Max then turned to Ozzy and Boris. "Alight I need something to put him on," Max ordered. Boris and Ozzy both nodded and started to seach for something to put Thomas on. Max stayed with Thomas to keep him awake. "Thomas! Stay with me alright?!" Max shouted into Thomas's ear. Thomas's vision again started to fade away. Thomas then looked up at Max but the looked behind him seeing Ashley and Aniu behind.

"Hey This might work!" Ozzy said from behind the trash can. Max and Boris looked at Ozzy as he tried to pull out an old sled that someone tried to throw away. "Yes that will!" Max said happly. Max then ran over to the old Sled and pulled it over to Thomas. "Alright Thomas can you stand for a second?" Max asked. Thomas looked up at Max still seeing Ashley and Aniu behind him. "You can do this Thomas," Ashley's voice played into Thomas's head. Thomas then forced himself onto the sled.

"Thank you," Thomas said in a weak voice as he looked at nothing or what seemed to be just air to the rest of group. Max then looked at his Uncle and nodded. "Alright Uncle Boris lead the way home," Max said with a smile. Boris nodded as he took off flying in the sky with Max running right behind him.
