*The storm finally dies down. I keep taking glances into my mirror to check the truck. Its nowhere in sight* Boots! How is everything looking back there? Where have you guys gone?
We're fine... Where is the road gone?
We'll be back on the road in 10 minutes. Believe me, you didnt want to be on the road, we would have been in a lot more trouble then that... *I go back to concentrating on the road* Hows your little friend doing?
*rb* She uh.... she fell asleep. Dunno how anyone could sleep through that haha

*I stop suddenly before we get to the road. Boots pulls up beside me. I get out and stare straight ahead in horror. Somethings not right*
*I see bunny get out of the van and pull up. I get out and run up to her. Everything seems calm* Bunny? Wh-what is it? Should we turn back?
*I run back to the van* PROTECTIVE COVERS! NOW!!! That was only the start of the storm! *I pull out the cover and throw it over the van. Boots catchs it on the other side. After we nail it down, I struggle to climb onto the cabin of the truck. I call down to boots* THROW IT! Hurry! *A rising gust nearly knocks me clean off my feet and to the edge of the truck. This better be big enough... I run down to the of the cargo hold with the cover. Its not enough to protect the whole truck. I run to the side that Boots is on* LET SOME OF IT GO... That enough i think* I drop down with the cover, which be sheer force nearly pulls Boots into the air. I hamer down the final nail and squeeze under the van's cover and in the door* If this van is swept away, I'm going with it haha

*The second wave of sandstorms pass by. Having lying accross the seat I sit up. If we keep having to stop and wait, we'll never get to where we're going. I struggle to sit up. My ribs ache, my head is ready to explode but I keep calm and radio the others* Ok kiddies this is where we separate! If this continues we'll be sitting here forever. So here's the plan. Boots take Fire Angel back to the house, you know which one, in the van. I'll take the truck and do what has to be done and meet you back there. *He tries to protest but I get out of the van and take off the cover, leaving the radio in the cab. He gets out and starts complaining* This is important. Whats in this van needs to be protected and it wont last in this weather. The truck will be fine. You have to go now before the next storm *He stops suddenly and goes back to the truck*
*sighs* Fire? *I look into the truck* Its time to go, we have a new job to do. C'mon *I help her out of the truck and turn back to Bunny. There's no convincing you? *she shakes her head. I take the radio out of the van and throw it to her* You better not take long... *I get into the van and drive east*
*I watch them drive of and jump into the truck, the cover fo it folded on the seat beside me. The sand begins to move. There is another sandstorm on the way. I start up the truck and continue North*

*Hours turn into days as I continue driving til I see the coast on my left. A transmission comes over the radio. One that I've gotten many times before, warning that the air is toxic this far out and to turn back. The effects of stealing radios from Better Living. I turn it off and put on a gas mask that had fell onto the floor at my feet. I know what ignoring the transmission means and its not long before there is a van behind me. The level ground that surrounds me leaves my open and vulnerable to attack. The van speeds up but its obvious they dont know the importance of my cargo. I keep my pace and allow them to come up beside me on the left hand side but never reach the window. My gun within my reach just in case. I count on them being to preocupied with catching up that they miss the sharp incline of the coast. I wait til the time is right and veer towards them. It keeps them distracted as I jam on the breaks. I give a slight laugh as I watch the van fly over the edge or the cliff* well that was easy.... not even a challenge. hmm still not far enough *Looking aound at my suroundings, I start the truck up again and continue once more heading north. An old, war torn sign saying 'You are now leaving Warrenton' tells me how far I have still to go. I go along the cliff running along side a river til I see a bridge that is intact and safe to cross*

*I go as far as I can go and stand at what could be the edge of the world, looking down at the waves crashing against the eroding rocks below. I stand there for a minute as a chilling sea breeze creeps in around me, touching my very bone. I knew in an instant that destroying my cargo wouldnt be easy. I walk to the back of truck and open the reinforced doors. It takes almost all my stength. I grasp my side as my ribs start to ache. The crates are too big and too heavy for one person to carry alone. I rest my head against the door, almost defeated but wracking my brain in a desprate bid to find a solution* Sink the truck? *I mutter to myself* Its the only way... No more damage can be done... *I think of other ways but nothing comes to mind. I sigh deeply before making a decision.*

*I slam the door to the back of the truck. It closes with a thud. I walk back up to the front and stand on one of the tine steps, leaning on the door and the roof. I look out at an endless ocean. I don't know where the sea ends and the sky begins. The weight of my decision weighs me down and tears silently roll down my face. With one hand I take of my mask. No more running. No more hiding. At that single moment dust flys in the distance. That ain't killjoys. I hop into the truck and closes the door. Fear and sorrow takes the breath from my lungs. As I try to retrieve it, my face drains and my eyes flood with tears. I turn the key and back the truck away from the cliffs edge. The cars pull up at a distance. The familiar black cars that used to strike fear in my heart. I put the truck into its top gear. The exterminators get out of the car, interested to see what is about to happen. I lower the window and throw the mask and radio out of it. I hit the gas, the wheels screech and propel the truck forward. The truck falls gloriously over the edge of the earth and tumbles in mid-air, it Hurtles before crashing into the deep cold ocean. Bobbing in the water for a split second before it sinks to the bottom*

*Radios Boots* Yo Boots! Any sign of her yet?
*RB* Nope! Nothing. No signal from her. She should have been back by now....
Shit *I take a deep breath as the words sink in. I radio back* Me and Earthquake is heading up north now. Just left the alley should take us a day or 2 to get there. *I turn back to AE* You know you dont have to come. I can drop you back to the alley and keep in radio contact...

*she glares at me for even suggesting it. I hold my pace. I'm happy there is a full tank and more in the trunk so we can get there and back. We cruise up the coast until we hit a sharp incline of land. I get out of the car, the bandana still covering my mouth. I notice the two sets of tyre marks* AE! OVER HERE!!!! *I follow one set over the edge but the bigger marks head east* She went this way! *We both hurry back into the car and follow the tyre tracks. We're driving another half a day before...* no! *I slam on the breaks after seeing the sun reflecting off something* cant be... *I jump out of the car and sprint as fast as I can before falling to the ground beside the object in the sand. Its a mask. I turn it over and immediately drop it. A radio lays next to it followed by tyre tracks beside that* she cant..... no- she wouldn- *I break off as AE runs up behind me* Its Bunny's mask AE... she- she's gone! She's really gone. *The shock of the day sinks in and my mind snaps. I sit, staring at the mask. Lost with no direction*

*I stand there with a blank expression on my face for a few minutes before sinking to the ground next to Skeets. I can't bring myself to say anything, instead i just sit there in denial. She can't be gone......I hesitantly run my fingers over her mask, hoping that i'm just imagining it's existance. I'm not. When i finally remember how to speak i barely manage more than a whisper* Killjoys never die.... *But i know all too well that they do...I start to get a grip on reality again when Skeets sends out the transmission to everyone but i still don't move, instead we just sit there in silence for a while.*

*I sit quietly for a while then start moving. I clear my throat* Time to go *I hold out my hand for ae* We cant do anything else here and people need us in the zones.... *I take a look over the cliff, hoping to find a way she might have survived but its just unlikely* She did what she said she'd do *Tears start to swell in my eyes* The best thing we can do now is keep running.... *I look back down at the mask in AE's hands* Both of them in one day.... *I take a deep breath, my lungs filled with sea air, I try to hold back the tears. I slowly walk back to the car looking at the groud, hands in my pockets and kicking the dust as i go*

*As Skeets starts to walk back towards the car I turn and start pacing in the opposite direction, right until I'm at the very edge of the cliff. If I took one more step I'd fall right in...I look at the ocean below and take a deep breath, looking at every detail of the last scene that Bunny ever saw. I close my eyes for a minute as a few tears roll down my face. I hurriedly wipe them away and start walking back towards Skeets, still clutching Bunny's mask. I silently get back in the car and nod to signal that I'm ready to leave.*

*I watch her every move and when she's securely in the car I slowly back away. My heart is pounding in my chest. I turn the car around and head back south towards the alley* you don- *my voice breaks, i clear my throat again* You dont have to come back to the alley... if you dont wanna *my thoughts switch back to Aspien* is there anywhere else you wanna go?

*I try and speak as loud as I can manage but I still can only whisper, my voice almost being drowned out by the noise of the car engine.* I know I don't have to go to the alley Skeets, but I want to. Would it be okay if I stayed for a while? I'm not sure for how long but I'd like to be around some other killjoys right now... *I smile at him and then continue looking out the window*

*I look at her, while trying to keep my eyes on the road. My eyes are red.* You're welcome there for as long as you like.... I dont think I should be alone right now anyways so company would be nice. *My voice trails of and I go back to concentrating on driving* I'll have to go to the house soon and let people know..... *I fall silent again as tears start to drip from my eyes. one by one they fall to my lap. I dont wipe them away. Somethings deserve time for such sorrow*
