“’Bout ten miles up the road,” Rogue answered. “Ran outta gas.”

“Ah figured that. Where yah headed?”

“Where eva da road takes us,” Remy said. “Can yah fill’er up.”

“Sure, buddy, but ah need t’see the cash first.”

“No trust us,” he said jokingly.

“Look friend, ah don’t trust nobody. Now, money first than the gas.” Remy handed him a twenty. “Alright, that’ll get yah the hell outta Dodge,” the man grumbled as he walked away.

“Is that where we are?” Rogue asked.

“Naw, just outside Mobile,” he grumbled. He looked at Remy for a moment and shook his head and walked off with the bike in tow.

Rogue started giggling. “What be so funny, chere?”

“Ah think maybe he don’t like your glasses. Think yah got somethin’ tah hide.”

“Maybe so,” he said. “We all got somethin’ tah hide.” She had a faraway look in her eye. “What ya be t’inkin’ “about, chere?”

She hesitated for a moment. “Ahh, nothin”, jus’ few days ah thought mah life was pretty much over an now…”

“An’ now…?” he asked with a sly look in his eye. She put her arms around him. “What is it, chere?”

She looked playfully into his eyes. “Ah got you.” She brought her lips up to his and kissed him. At that moment the gas station attendant yelled over to them.

“Hey, hey, yah gonna do that there’s a motel couple miles up the road.”

They both laughed at the man while he just grumbled as he towed the bike back towards their direction.

“Which way,” Remy asked.

“Couple miles north a here. Keep goin’ straight. Ya can’t miss it.” As the guy was walking away Rogue could hear him grumbling. “God damn horny kids…”

She laughed at the man’s words.

Remy got on the bike and Rogue followed suit. He revved up the engine. “Ya ready, chere?”

“As ready as I’ll eva be,” she said holding on tight. She never felt so free in her entire life. With her powers gone and Bobby free of her thoughts, she remembered how big an adventure life could be.
