Second Chance

by Apostrophe

“Sounds like a good idea” She said in agreement. Do you know how to break into cars and start them up? She asked.

Jared walked up to a car.. He looked into the window.. to determine the type of transmission.. Ohh.. babe look this one is stick. Can you drive stick? Britney looks at her shoes.. “No” she mutters. Ok.. I guess this one will be all mine then..

Jared jimmied the door. Within a few mins the door gave in and he was able to open it. He sat down and opened the circut pannel. He found two wires by the ignition and connected them. The car obediently responded.. With a roar of engine the car came to life..

Britney watching all this from the open door, was waiting for his ‘ok’. He unlocked the door so she could get in.. Britney opened the door and slid in the car. Closing the door with a click.

The pair were back on the highway on the way to Salinas..

Britney was looking at the car.. inspecting the dash..How does this radio work? She asks. Figgure it out he said.

    i like that his demeanor has changed with the situation, telling her to ‘figure it out’ , their crimes are increasing with frequency. .

    Missed a few quotation marks in there. What I liked though was a glimpse into the imbalance in the relationship, her dependence and hesitancy, both of which I think I’ve misspelled.

    We can add grand theft auto to their lists of sins and very nicely described hot-wiring. (Still laughing at Kermit’s observation).
