Thread: Bad feeling

The last bit ..... Uninvited passenger ???

So this time we park up on the side of the road up by the over pass coming into greymouth .
And just sat there smoking and talking as before .
Just killing time and discussing what he was going to do . The poor bastard still had to live in the house .
We were both getting exhausted and freezing in the car so folded the seats back and tried to get some sleep , which of course didn't happen as we were still amped up .
I noticed a couple of times a red light passing from the back of the car to the front along the roof lining and just put it down to a reflection of a car tailight going past , and thought nothing of it .
Eventually I needed a leak so got out the car to do my business .
And my first thought was , that's weird , it's warmer out here than in the car , significantly warmer .
So I jump back in the car and mention the temperature difference to my mate , who just shrugs .
But it keeps nagging at me , it makes no sense....
And while I'm stewing over this new development the red light sweeps down the roof lining again .
Uuumm , did a car just drive past mate?
I dunno he says .
So I tell him what I'm thinking .
That we might have company ....
So we lay there doing our best not to think about it and waiting for the 'reflection' in the roof lining again and this time we are going to make sure a car has gone past .
Waiting , waiting ..... And the light moves across the lining .....
So we sit up and there's no cars to be seen ...

No no no , that can't be right , we were just to slow .It can't be in the car , that's just not possible....
Is it ?

So for the rest of the night until the sky started to lighten we sat in the car on the side of the road .
Silent , shivering and exhausted .
Doing our best to not to notice the occasional light sweeping across the roof lining or think about what we suspected .

We drive back to the house and gingerly pull in the drive .
Lights still on , door still open .
We exit the car and slowly walk up to the open door and peer in .
Nothing has changed , TV on , everything as we left it , except for a kitchen knife on the table that we are sure we didn't leave there....
So I grab my stuff , tell him that's me done ....my mate grabs the garage keys and torch and I get my bike out the shed and leave .....
