Sam couldn’t see a thing between the bouncing of the truck and Will’s head directly in front of her face. From time to time she caught a glimpse, but it was like seeing a room filled with people at a party where the only light was a strobe light. An image presented itself and was gone, to be replaced by another altered image seconds later. Her life was in the hands of a seven year old who couldn’t make it through a single level of his favorite racing game without visiting a sidewalk at least once. All there was to do was hold on.

Without seeing what was ahead, she felt Will brace himself in her lap and in turn braced herself as well, causing her foot to slam the accelerator to the floor.

“Arggggggggggh!” Will yelled in increasing volume.

Wham! Sam was jerked forward, smashing into Will who was crushed between her and the steering wheel for an instant as his yell was silenced. In that instant the horn sounded as the truck bounced several times, rocking them every which way but upright. Will laughed as if he had just performed a trick or told a joke. Sam took her foot off the gas and pressed both the left pedals as the truck came to a screeching stop.

“Awesome,” Will shouted, sliding off Sam’s lap and pulling the shifter lever aside. “You can let go of the pedal now, it won’t go anywhere.”

Sam was dumbfounded. Looking around, she realized they had made it through the wall, and now sat between it and the fires that burned around the resistance’s camp. The boy was crazy. Just like his big brother. Both of them completely nuts, and yet it had worked.

She screamed in surprise as her door was wrenched open suddenly, and Jack smiled down at her with an odd expression on his face.

“Company’s coming, mind scooting over?”

Just then the opposite door opened and Tammy plopped down in the passenger side of the long bench seat. Sam noted as Will climbed into Tammy’s lap, giving her a brief hug as she scooted towards the middle portion of the seat. Within a second Jack was in the truck and guiding them down the road away from the resistance’s camp. They were free. All four of them. Everything would be OK. It had to be.
