The feeling didn’t leave him. He felt he was being followed. Or maybe it was just in his head the tea and everything. It was a lot of caffeine, the slushie probably wouldn’t help.
In the car he felt safe could drive either way he cracked open the beef jerkey and took a few pieces. He was hungry. He wanted to take a handful but he slowed himself with drinks of the slushie. It was cold. One of the best he’s had in a while.
He was sweating. He could feel under his arms. They were damp. He was blasting the heat all the way there, maybe he thought he was sick. He took a breathe. They had been talking a lot, partially fuelled by coffee and the other fear. They did everything they could be he still didn’t like it. Felt like it was leading down something sinister. He took another breathe the jerkey was gone. He thought about going in to get another but then he thought of all the small talk he’d have to do. All the explaining the guy would for sure remember him, there hadn’t been another person for the last twenty minutes.
