They were headed to a select location given to them by Enos who was the one who found the place. It was about a 2 day drive. They were leaving the state and heading to ???????
Enos said there was some good fishing, and a nice area to camp out. The boys were put into 2 groups. Luke* was to shuffle back and forth between staying with Jesse and John, and staying with Clark and Bo*. The majority of the time Luke* was to be with Jesse and John, but they wanted Clark and Bo* alone as much as possible. They knew it was a dangerous situation, but they had already tried everything else.
The boys were given 2 lists with what each of them was allowed to have.
List A
John, Luke, Jesse
• Sleeping Bags
• Sleeping Tents
• A box of Tide (to divide with Bo & Clark)
• A bucket to wash their clothes in
• Rope
• A Rifle (not loaded)
• A Box of bullets (to be controlled by Luke*)
• Blankets
• Plastic Bags
• 4 changes of clothes each not including Jackets
• Pots and Pans
• Bottled Water
• Flashlights and Batteries
• Canned food
• 2 Fishing Poles
List B
Bo* and Clark
• Bo’s* Medication
• Blankets
• Sleeping bags
• 1 Sleeping Tent (for both not each)
• 4 Changes of clothes not including Jackets
• Bottled Water
• Flashlight & Batteries
• Pots & Pans
• 1 Fishing Pole
• Their share of Tide (see list A)
• Limited Canned Food
(STORY NOTE: Since Bo Sr. (Jonathan), and Bo Jr. are in two different places, and Luke Sr. and Luke Jr. are in two different places, no * will be used next to either Jr.)
The boys managed to get on the highway about 8am. No one had breakfast because Luke Sr. had suggested they eat somewhere on the road after driving for a few hours. So around 11:30am hunger started to set in.
“Bo I’m hungry, cant we stop somewhere and eat?” John asked.
“Because you aint gonna eat in the car, and we haven’t covered enough ground to stop and eat,” Bo* informed.
“Since when do we have a time limit on when we have to get there?” John rebutted, but regretted it the very moment the words left his mouth.
“You know what, your right,” Bo* said slamming the brakes making a u-turn.
“Bo* what are you doing?” Luke* asked.
“Your all hungry aint you?” Bo asked.
“Yeah…” Jesse said.
“Saw a sign a bit back,” Bo said hitting brakes; making a u-turn and then headed full speed back the way they had came.
“Your going to fast Bo*” John said.
“There’s no cops around, don’t be such a chicken,” Bo told him.
“Bo the only sign I saw us pass was for a bar,” Luke* worriedly reminded him.
“And?” Bo asked.
“John, Jesse, and Clark can’t go into a bar,” Luke reminded.
“No they can’t, but I can,” Bo said, “and so can you if you want,” he added.
“Bo I think it’s a bad idea,” Jesse chimed in.
“Well I think it’s a good idea,” Bo said as they pulled into the establishment.
“Bo they got a porter-potty. That can’t be a good sign,” John informed.
“I aint eating anything from here Bo,” Jesse said as he looked out the window in disgust.
“We stopped to eat, if you don’t, that isn’t my problem,” Bo said as he jumped out the driver side window.
“I’ll see what they got and bring you guys something,” Luke said jumping out his side.
“Luke look at this place, we’re going deep into the woods, if we get sick…” Jesse looked at Clark, “never mind… whatever you get us no onions.”
“Clark?” Jesse said after Luke walked away, “you ok? You ain’t said anything since we left.”
“Nothing to say,” Clark replied.
“Yeah, I guess,” Jesse agreed.
“You guys really want something from here?” Clark asked.
“No, what I really want is McDonalds. Some medium… no wait I take that back, LARGE fries, and a couple of Big N’ Tasty’s. That’s what I want,” John said.
“Yeah sounds good,” Jesse sighed.
“My dad said I couldn’t use my abilities when we got there, well we aint there yet. We passed a McDonalds about 1hr and a half ago,” Clark remembered.
“No way…” John said in disbelief.
“Be back in a bit,” Clark smirked getting out of the car.
After 15 minutes Luke walked out with a box carrying hot dogs, and packs of ketchup and mustard. However when he reached the car he dropped the box on the floor.
“Where did you guys get those,” Luke said pointing to the Big N’ Tasty John was busy stuffing in his mouth.
“Clark went to McDonalds,” Jesse said grabbing some fries and passing them to Luke, “he brought you some too.”
“Get out of the car, Bo smell’s that and we’re gonna have problems, as to explaining HOW we got that,” Luke told them.
Bo knew a few things about Clark, but not everything. They still couldn’t tell Bo that Clark was… as John put it… an E.T.
