Kill Fest

"Alright, I'm just saying….."

"Yeah well, just don't ok."

"Yeah sure."

"Good, now just drive," she said just as her phone started to ring.

Reaching into her right pants pocket, she withdrew her Smartphone and placed it to her ear.

"Aurora is that you…..are you alright?" Athena cried as her older sister held back the tears after hearing her sibling's voice.

"Yeah it's me little sis."

"Oh God Aurora, are you okay, you sounded so upset…..so lost yesterday…..is everything okay?" Athena asked as she heard sadness in her sister's reply.

"Yeah, I'm good." Aurora tried to say without a voice cracking as it always did when she was upset.

"Aurora, please talk to me…..what's going on? I know you too well and ever since we were kids you could never hide your true feelings from me."

"No…..no, I'm good really I am." Aurora lied trying to be as convincing as she could.

Stryker could see that his partner was trying to hold in her pain until a thought struck him. Thinking for a moment about how they were found by the gunman at the motel. Then without warning, Stryker reached over grasped the phone from Aurora's hand and pitched it out the window right in the middle of the Southern State Parkway.

"Stryker, What The Fuck!" an enraged Aurora screamed as she watched him do the same with his own phone.

"We are being tracked," he shouted.

"What the hell are you talking about, that was my little sister I was talking too."

"Constantine, we are being tracked by our God damn cell phones."

"What are you talking about?"

"Think about it for a moment Aurora, Fat Daddy some sort of computer master…..he's using our own phones to track us. That's how The Reaper found us in both the motel and the parking lot."

"Oh my God, you're right…..how else could he know we were in that shit hole of a motel."

"How else in deed."

"Yeah but you could have waited a fucking minute until I was off the phone with my sister."

"Yeah sorry about that."

"You asshole! Sometimes I don't know why the hell I care for you so damn much."

"Maybe it's my good looks," Stryker said with a boyish smile.

"Don't kid yourself Stryker…..you don't have the parts that I really crave."

"What's the matter, you haven't said a word for miles?" Stryker ask as he turned the car down a side street.

"I'm still mad at you," Aurora said with contempt in her voice.

"For what?"

"For what…..well for starters throwing my phone out the window for one. My only way to communicate with my sister and Kimba and you flung the thing out the window."
