(Brian�s View)
I followed Howie down the road. One of our songs came on the radio. Nick started singing in a stupid way trying to make me laugh. He succeeded. Soon we were both singing The Call stupidly into the walkie-talkie. A.J. told us to shut up & we stopped singing. We noticed that there were 3 black vans drove up beside us. They had ILab.Corp on the side. I became curious about the vans & I told Howie about them.

�Do they have anything on them,� he asked.
�Yeah, It has ILab.Corp on the side of them,� I told him.

He gasped & I heard a thump.

�Howie are you OK,� I asked.
�It�s them. I need you guys to be calm or they will suspect something.�

I watched them pass us & then pass the other van. They sped ahead of the other van & Howie pulled over at a gas station. I pulled up behind him & jumped out of the van. I saw Christie step out & go to the driver side of the van Howie stepped out & were talking with one another. I ran up to them.

�Howie what are you doing,� I asked.
�I�ll give them some time to get ahead of us so we don�t have to see them again.�
Soon the vans came back & pulled up across the road from us. I told Howie to pretend he was sick. Told Christie to get into the van & called Kevin out of the van. He shut the door behind him so the women & kids would be hidden. A.J. also jumped out. Three men approached us & Howie held his stomach & began moaning. The three men came around & asked if we needed any help.

�No he just isn�t feeling good,� Kevin said as he bent over to help Howie.
�He didn�t want to through up in his new van so he pulled over & jumped out. We will be OK.� A.J said.

The men left & Howie sat up.

�Smart thinking Brian,� he said in relief.
