Charlie had been watching the man for weeks and was determined to take his 1971 SS Chevrolet Cheville. The man was often seen at a local bar where Bikers and Car junkies hung out. Charlie had planned to catch this fool "slipping" coming out the bar, but that was too risky.

The carjacking had to be at night. He had a little info, but he knew that the man was married, but spent a lot of time alone.

Then it happened. As Charlie was cruising the area, he spotted the car parked on an empty parking lot.

Charlie caught the stranger off guard as he entered the vehicle. "Get out the car!" The man froze, looked at Charlie, and slowly got out.

"Hmmm, I don't think you want this car." The man said with a smirk as he got out.

Charlie hopped in and sped off but not before the man yelled out, "Good luck with that!"; staring intensely.

"It's his car now." the man thought as he lit a cigarette and walked off.

Charlie hit a few corners, then stopped and popped the trunk, in awe at what he saw: a familiar face. It was the man's wife. -AK
