Herbie didn't seem to mind a bit. He kept thing's quiet when Jan got near or in the car. I guess you could say that we had a secret from her. The annu...l 50-lap race at Laguna Seca was coming up, the same race my dad won in '68.There was a race to get into the field called the El Dorado. I did all I knew how to get Herbie ready for it. It was mandatory to have a second person in the car with you. I asked Jan, and she thought I was being ridiculous."I'm a pregnant woman — what part of dangerous. I soon after went home, and thought of what I had seen often until the following weekend when I returned to Eric’s house. This time, it was drizzling rain, so no crops were picked, and as we were rowdy k**s, we were told to ‘go play in the damn yard before yall tear the house down.’ So out we went. We went to the barn on the edge of the back yard. Lots of junk in and around this barn that we could play in and on. Instead we made our way to the backside of the barn, and as we neared the tree. We went into the kitchen and he sat at the table where there was a pile of washing to be put away and loads of washing up to be done I made the excuses I hadn’t had time to tidy up yet with getting the k**s to school and needing a shower, I said I’ll make your drink and go get dressed, he replied you don’t have to get dressed on my account grinning again he leant over the table and grabbed at some of my underwear that was in the pile of clean washing to go away and said I bet you bloody sexy in. ” I said, opening my eyes.Kayla and Jill were standing over me, looking down.“Heya sleepy head.” Kayla giggled.“Hey there. How’s everyone doing?” I asked, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.“Pretty good I guess. I mean, I think everyone knows that they are a vampire now at least.” Kayla replied.“Did you make breakfast?” I asked.“Uh, what? I don’t really cook and all we really eat is blood, or drink, or whatever.” Kayla asked with a confused look on her face.“I’m teasing.” I replied in a flat voice.
