10 minutes down the road, a
road, in the middle of nowhere, absolutely nothing had happened.
I'm bored. Hannah moaned. What shall we
do?
Chris continued to stare out of the window with his back to her.
Hello? She threw a pretzel at the back of his head.
I'm ignoring you. Chris said.
Not any more! Hannah smiled. I do love you, you
know that don't you?
I'd bloody well hope so, Chris huffed. I don't
know whether I want to introduce you to my parents
You already did. At the wedding? They seemed nice. Though
you do realise our marriage is doomed due to you coming from a
different social class to me? Hannah noted.
What, are you from lower working class? Chris asked.
Uh, no, middle class.
Chris looked like a cement block had just hit him in the face.
That's impossible.
Suddenly the limo screeched and they were thrown forward. It hit
something hard. Then everything went black.
Hannah opened her eyes and looked around.
There wasn't much to look at she appeared to be in the
middle of nowhere. She sat up. She was sitting in the middle of a
road, with Chris lying on the road beside her. She couldn't see
any houses or people for miles in either direction.
CHRIS! Hannah kicked him.
Hmm? What? Chris opened his eyes.
We've been dumped in the middle of nowhere!
WHAT?! Chris sat up and looked around. Oh,
CRAP! Hannah sighed.
I guess the police are gonna have to take notice now
we've been dumped in butt-fuck nowhere. She reached in her
pocket for her phone. Chris? Do you have my phone?
No. Said Chris after feeling in his pockets. Do
you have mine?
No. The realisation of what had happened dawned on
her. OH MY GOD! THE BASTARDS ROBBED US!
AND ALL OUR LUGGAGE GOT LEFT AT THE AIRPORT! Chris
added.
Thanks for that encouraging comment, Christopher.
Hannah stood up the hot road was beginning to burn her
arse. Well, what do we do?
Walk?
HA.
No, I was being serious.
Ha ha oh.
Half an hours walk down the
road in a direction that Chris and Hannah had argued about for 10
minutes, Hannah looked up and saw something on the horizon other
than a cactus or a heat shimmer.
What the hell is that? She pointed.
Chris, who had stripped down to his t-shirt and jeans
Hannah waited in anticipation looked up. It looks
like a hutch!
YEY! Hannah started to run, but had to slow down as
she felt she was flying until her face was on the floor.
They got to the hutch finally to see that it was made mainly out
of straw and there was a sign next to the door saying 'Los Pero's
Caf�'.
They walked in and met the staring eyes of 12 Mexican men.
Ciao. Said Chris.
Hannah look at Chris in surprise.
What? You think after all my world touring I haven't picked
up some language skills?
Oh, language skills! Hannah winked. I
get ya. She turned to the Mexicans.
We
come
in- She picked up a white napkin
off a nearby table. -PEACE. She waved it around.
Unfortunately she didn't realise that the napkin she had picked
up was a sacred napkin that had been laying on the head
Gangster's lap. Hannah looked around at the gangster, at his
dinner then smiled sweetly.
Nice chicken?!!
Hannah
I think we're in a bad place.
Chris told her.
Look, Christopher, do you want to be saved or not?
Hannah turned back to the room of dubious looking people.
Do you have a phone we could use? She asked.
A guy sitting near them cocked a gun and pointed it at her.
NO, I said
do
you
have
a
phone
I
could
use?
Hannah repeated.
Erm
Hannah, let's get out of here. Chris grabbed
her arm.
Chris just about got Hannah out the door as a hail of bullets
narrowly missed them.
The locals aren't very friendly, are they?! Hannah
commented.
You're going to get us KILLED!
Come on, Joannou-baby you LOVE IT.
