The blacked-out car raced down the narrow backroad. There was urgency in the engine's rumble.
Johnny, behind the wheel, kept the gas pedal buried with a hardened look of concern on his face.
Orville, sitting in the back, kept an eye on the speedometer. Driving fast made him very nervous.
"I understand the backseat, but are these handcuffs really necessary?" Orville questioned.
Johnny looked into the rearview mirror to find Shotsworth staring back.
"I'm supposed to drive around with a petty criminal in no restraints?" he asked.
Orville sighed an uneasy breath of understanding. He got it. He knew the score.
"Well can you at least slow down a bit" he requested as he wriggled for comfort.
Orville didn't care much for fast driving. It jangled his every nerve.
Johnny shot back with less patience this time.
"This ain't no Sunday drive! You want out, I'll pull over!" he fired.
Orville returned his dazed stare out the window. It was after all, a scenic route of sorts.
