Chapter Eleven: Fight
Malia sat in the middle, Jaden to her right. He closed the door, and the man merged onto the road.
âSo, what are you two goinâ to Winslow for?â he asked.
âTrain station,â said Malia.
The man nodded. They rode in silence for several minutes.
âI gotta fill her up,â he told them, pulling over at a gas stationâone of the last buildings on the outskirts of town. He stopped next to one of the pumps and got out.
âOh, goodâtheyâve got a convenience store,â said Jaden. âGive me some of the moneyâIâm gonna go in and get some food.â
âWe just ate!â
âYeah, but itâs a long ride to Winslow,â he said. âCome on, fork it over!â
Malia handed him a ten. Jaden got out of the truck and ran into the store.
Moments later, the man got back in the truck and started the engine.
âThat was fast,â Malia commented; she hadnât even seen him pump the gas.
The man put the truck into gear and pulled up to the road.
âWaitâmy brother went inside to get some food,â Malia said.
âWe donât need him,â the man said, patting her on the knee. âYou and me can have a little fun now.â
He turned onto the road and accelerated hard. Malia was scared but felt confident she could handle this.
âWhat are you doing?!â she said, scooting over to the passenger-side door. âWe have to go back for my brother!â
The man only grinned at her.
âStop the car now!â
âBe patient, little lady,â he said. âMy place is just a few minutes away.â
âMalia, where the hell did you go?â Jaden said in her mind.
âThis creep drove off with me!â
âWhat the hell?â
âIf you donât pull over right now, Iâm calling the police!â she said out loud.
âNo, youâre not,â he said. âYou ainât got a cell phone. And besides, the police donât take too kindly to hitchhiking in these parts.â
Malia had enough. She grabbed her backpack, opened the door, and launched herself into the air. As she left, she heard the man swearing at her. She set herself down on the shoulder; the truckâs tires screeched as the man pulled over. He got out of his vehicle and moved in her direction.
âGet back here, you little bitch,â he called out to her.
Malia strode toward him.
âLeave me alone, or youâre going to regret it,â she said.
âOh, weâll see about that,â he said with a chuckle.
Reaching out with her mind, Malia flung him into the back of his truck. The man slammed into the vehicle and fell to the ground.
âHow the hell did you do that?â he said, scrambling to his feet, fear in his eyes now.
âGet back in your truck and go home, or Iâll do worse,â she said, moving toward him, with the meanest glare she could manage.
âAlright, sweetheart,â he said, hurrying to get back in his truck. âNo need to get your panties in a bunch!â
âDo not call me âsweetheart,â you pervert.â
The man got into the driverâs seat, slammed the door shut, and took off down the road.
Malia watched him drive away for a minute, then turned to head back to the gas station.
