That's reasonable, this whole idea
is really stupid, and reckless,

but here we are.

"I've always had better aim,
meaning I should take the gun,
while you stand by the door."

He shrugs and sarcastically
laughs "No argument here." 

We start to open the car doors but a
black 2023 Corvette pulls up behind us.

Louis starts laughing in a "we're going
to die" type of way, making my breathing less controlled and my anxiety skyrocket.

The car door opens and I freeze,
Louis is still laughing like a maniac,
rocking back and forth,
not even looking up to see the man.

I start smiling sheepishly, not knowing what's coming next but I'm pretty sure
I won't enjoy it. He walks up to
the driver's side, pulls off his sunglasses, and knocks on the window.

Is he planning on asking for
my license and registration?

Louis turns and realizes who it is so he pastes the same nervous smile
on his face, he pushes down the button
on his door, rolling down his window.

Aleksander leans down and looks
at both of us "Are the kids in here?"

We both slowly nod, saying yes and accepting our fate. Aleksander
looks down, smiles, and laughs.

"You both stay here, don't let anyone
break into the car." He orders,

I scoff and say "No I-" Aleksander
doesn't listen, he walks into the trailer,
not leaving any room for an argument.

Louis starts laughing again, so I hit
his shoulder in a poor
attempt to shut him up, but it makes
him laugh even more.

We stay silent for about ten minutes, randomly glancing
back at the kids who are now sleeping.
and then the trailer
house that Aleksander went into.

He finally walks out, laughing with
some guy who's smiling and holding
a shotgun. They both talk out front
for a few minutes, laughing, coughing, Aleksander occasionally glancing.

The man and him shake hands before
he goes inside and Aleksander walks
back to the car, he opens the
driver's side door and pulls Louis out

Aleksander drops the keys in his hands
and Louis smiles, looking back
at the car and then the keys in his hand

"Don't crash the car, bring it to our
house, we will take your daughter, don't
take forever." Louis looks back at the car and nods then says "I can take them-"

Aleksander gets in the car and says
"It's a sports car, there isn't enough
space and it is not safe,
we will see you there." He closes the
car door and Louis walks to the other.

We wait for Louis to back out so we can
go and the car stays in awkward silence.

I try to think of a good explanation
without sounding like an idiot but there really isn't one. "Listen-" he cuts me off

"No, not now." He says sharply,
he starts the car and backs up,

I try to speak again but he just puts his hand up telling me not to.
I'm not some dog he can just command,
yes what I did was stupid,
but he's not letting me explain my side.

"Stop-" he doesn't let me speak

"No, I need you to be quiet, I can't talk
to you right now, I don't want to yell at
you or say anything
that will hurt your feelings."  Looks like
I unlocked Anger issues, Aleksander.
