<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>...."You
don't want their help," the teenage driver says, as the car careens down
the street.<span class="MsoCommentReference"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> I</span></span> sit behind the driver and get doused as he
shakes water out of his tousled, blonde hair. I brush the water off and notice
his strong shoulders and slim body as he drives the car. The only direct
glimpse I see of his face is through the rear view mirror. He looks in the
mirror past me to the pub where the last of the teenagers has finally entered.
His face relaxes, but his foot hits the accelerator. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Thank
you, I think,” I say, still bewildered. “I haven’t told you where I’m going
yet.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
"Don't mind
the landy gobdaws," he says.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Landy
gobdaws?" I ask. “Do you even know where I’m going?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Aye, you know the snooty
chatterboxes." Why won’t he answer my questions? Why are we heading out of
town? And where is he taking me?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Where
are we going?” I ask, starting to get concerned.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Where
are we going, she asks,” he says to himself, laughing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Excuse
me, this could be kidnapping."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Kidnapping?
Funny, we call it saving your arse." </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Are you serious? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Of course, I’m
serious.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
“My ‘arse’ isn’t
going anywhere with you. I don’t even know you.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"I'm
Flynn. Grand to meet you," he says, turning his face to give me a winning
grin. Now I can see his face: a mischievous teen with curious eyes, a pointy
chin, lips that curl into a permanent laugh line and blonde hair as shocked to
be on his head as I am in his car.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“You
have to let me out, for real. No one will pay my ransom.” </div>
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Not
worthy of a ransom,” he says shaking his head in pity.... <br />
