I screamed in frustration. I feel like I’m in the middle of the Princess Diaries!When Mia runs away and her car breaks down!
I pulled out my cell phone and started to dial Kevin but stopped when I realized how angry he would be. So I did the only thing I could do,I called my Superhero.
“Hello?â€?
“Um, Joe.You’re at the mall right?â€? I hesitated.
“Of course I am.â€?He stopped. “What’s the matter?â€?
“Why do you automatically assume that something is wrong?â€? I asked innocently.
I heard him sigh. “I can hear it in your voice. Where are you?â€?
“Lost.â€? I replied.
“Oh.â€? He sounded relieved.“I can give you directions then.â€?
“Its not going to be that easy.I’m going to need a super heroic act from you.â€? I filled him in on how I was lost, wet and out of gas.
He was still laughing when my phone went dead.
My batteries were out. I leaned my head against the steering wheel and stayed that way for a while until something told me to look up.A tall man in a black ski mask was standing next to my car and staring at me.
