Part 18
I walked down to the petrol station and picked up a Map of Australia so that id be able to find my way to this small place. The guy inside asked me where i was running off too. I simply told him i wasnt running anywhere... i was going to get my sister.
"hey... arent you that kid off the news? the one who's sister was abducted by some loony woman?"
he asked with a curious glint in his eyes.
"Umm.. yeah... i guess."
"Where are you off to son?"
"A small town called Cobar... i know she's there... you heard of it?"
He looked at me strangely... smiled and nodded.
"Yeah mate... infact ive got a truckie friend due in about 5 minutes who's heading on up that way... im sure he'd give you a lift if you want"
"REALLY!!! I mean.. yeah.. that'd be great" I didnt want to sound too enthusiastic about accepting an offer from a stranger but until then i had no idea how i was going to get there.
"Look mate... take the map and a few other things like food and something to drink along the way. Its on the house. Ill organise something with Bud when he comes to fill up"
"thanks sir... i really appreciate the help!" I yelled back already helping myself to a small amount of things, not wanting to appear greedy. A friendly looking man smiled whilst fliping through a magazine. He was about 35 or so... friendly looking
"You be careful with strangers little guy" he warned and continued to look through his magazine.
The guy whom i assumed to be Bud drove up, talked to the man behind the counter and i could see they were talking about me. Bud came over and introduced himself and soon we were on our way.
"So... Randy is it... Whats down cobar way?"
"My sister..."
"You're sister? how old is she then?"
"12... she was kidnapped"
He nodded and said nothing more. We drove... and drove in silence appart from the country music that Bud had playing over the radio. I decided to look at my map to see where we were.
"Umm... Bud?" i asked once i figure out that we were drivng in the wrong direction.
"mmm?"
"Arent we suppose to be near Trangee by now?"
"What??? where are we now...?" he asked pulling over at the side of the road to look at the map.
"Well ill be... we missed a turn... god we're in the middle of no-where"
Suddenly he took the map from my hand and placed his free hand on my knee. I tried to flinch back but he grabbed me and started stroaking my face.
"Ever thought about sex with a man Randy... yeah i know what you young boys are like. Well us old blokes get mightly lonely out here you know. But you know what im gonna do about it... hey boy..."
"Get off me!!!! stop!" I cried but he had my too tight in his grip... he managed to get me facing away from him and i felt his hand move down the mack of my jeans....
