Jonathan was at the Clara Barton Service Area on the New Jersey Turnpike. He was getting hungry. He was in line getting food from Burger King. The line wasn't moving much. He stared at his watch. It was 7:08 pm. "This is the last service on the turnpike," he said. "If this line doesn't move, I'm gonna have to get some food, somewhere in Delaware."

The line did move, and Jonathan got two Bacon Kings, nuggets with BBQ sauce, and a large Cherry Sprite. Good thing he didn't have to use the bathroom. The men's bathroom was packed.

He ate his food, and drank his soda. He left the service area, got back in his car, and drove towards the gas pump. The gas station attendant filled his Buick up. He got back on the turnpike, and was headed towards the toll booth. He was headed straight towards the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
