Free Ride
‘I can’t believe it? You
don’t feel insulted? She rebuffed you and you are acting as if she told you a
joke,’ Dan tried to provoke Pipi.
‘Perhaps she is not my
type of girl.’
‘Now you are acting
stupid. You need to teach her a lesson.’
‘But………’
‘No girl can dare to
humiliate you and get away with it,’ he said arrogantly.
Pipi got overwhelmed by
Dan’s outburst.
‘What do you suggest?’
‘You see that new car
outside her house; we will take it out for a ride and leave it in New Town,’
‘That would be criminal.’
‘We aren’t stealing it.’
‘But how do we get the
key?’
‘Someone blundered; the
key is in the car; I saw it when we passed by it,’ Dan smiled mischievously.
They took out the car for
a free ride but they could not reach New Town.
They crashed the car into
a stationary truck just outside New Town.
Later in the evening Dan
learnt that her sister had gone visiting a friend in her new car. She left the
key in the car. The car got stolen and was found crashed in a truck near New
Town.

Good grief! They steal the car then crash it! Seems like communicating their feelings about how they were treated would have been the wiser choice. Great story!
