Suddenly, tires screeched in protest in the distance as Gabriel’s SUV made a dangerous U-turn upon the busy thoroughfare it traveled along before racing back in the opposite direction. The Explorer headed back toward them barely eschewing an accident with another vehicle in the opposite lane.
“What the fuck is he doing?” Eric exclaimed.
“Shit! He’s gonna see us!” Chris yelled.
Gabriel raced by them, his gaze resolute, intent. He did not offer a glance in Kevin’s direction.
“He didn’t even look at us! Quick, turn around!” John shouted.
“No shit! What do you think I’m doing?” Kevin countered as he traveled farther down the road and out of sight before cutting the wheel of his sleek sports car sharply to the left and directing it in to the shoulder executing a U-Turn to continue his pursuit of Gabriel.
Kevin followed Gabriel’s Explorer at a safe distance and watched as he navigated the SUV hurriedly into the entrance of their high school.
“He’s turning in to the school,” Kevin noted with a hint of confusion in his voice.
“Why the hell would he be doing that?” John questioned.
Kevin slowed to a halt, remaining at a distance that concealed them sufficiently. He and his friends observed Gabriel park his car in the far corner of the rear parking area before climbing out of his vehicle and looking around anxiously.
Clouds began to thicken again. Filtered sunlight was buried by impenetrable, gray masses. Malignant clusters, dark and foreboding, crowded out any blue sky and lightness in its wake. A storm brewed it the atmosphere.
“He’s meeting her here I bet,” Kevin speculated. “This couldn’t be any better!”
Kevin picked up his baseball bat, thrilled with the change of events. No one would be on school grounds. He and his friends would be able to take their time with Gabriel and Melissa, make them suffer.
“This shit is gonna go down now!” Kevin rallied.
