9. Under Pressure

Lara had waited until the last possible moment before squeezing the handlebars. The helium exploded into her tyres, giving her instant ‘big air’. She missed the onrushing truck by millimetres, her rear wheel brushing the roof of the cab. Lara pulled her left brake sharply, landing skilfully on the roof of the trailer, her rear wheel skidding around in a one hundred and eighty degree arc to face the direction in which they were travelling.

Phew – that was close!

She gathered herself for a moment, her heart thumping loudly in her chest.

Soop opened his eyes, a little embarrassed that he’d closed them in the first place. The dog had seemingly vanished into thin air. It was nowhere to be seen. Soop shook his head and looked at the clock on the dashboard. He wondered if he’d been on the road for too long and was starting to imagine things. He assumed the dog would be squashed, a black and white rug in the middle of the road.

Meanwhile, Lara had attached one end of her sticky dog lead to the roof of the trailer and expertly abseiled down to dangle over the wheel arches.
