They, again, looked at each other. This time they decided to run. Time to leave this place behind.

Chapter 5

When they reached their cars, Zach noticed something off about his car. The tyre's had been

slashed. Zach had no idea how he was going to get home after a completely unsuccessful day.

Luckily for him, Leo's car remained intact, and he offered to drive the both of them home. The

mansion was in Wollongong, so they had a long drive ahead of them as they both lived in

Sydney.

Once the car started and Leo had set up his GPS on his phone, they were on the road. The silence

was, once again, strangely comforting. They didn't need to talk, as they had Triple J playing in

the background. It was good to know that they had a similar taste in music. Essential for all long

car trips. But, there was something that had to be said.

"I am sorry for the way I spoke to you this morning, it was completely uncalled for. I was also

wrong about your job. It was the opposite of easy, and customers can be very tricky. This may

have also been because I suck at art. I cannot draw for anything." Zach confessed. He felt like it

was necessary to clear the air. He didn't want to seem arrogant or overly-sure of himself, as this

was not at all the truth.

"Don't worry, it's fine. I was wrong as well. I said your job would be easy, but it, suffice to say,

was not. And how do you deal with the smell? It's horrific!" Leo answered. He had a large smile

on his face as he briefly looked across at Zach, before returning to focusing on the road.

"Ok, but what about the talking millipede? What was that about? Were we dreaming or

something? I'm very confused." Zach asked, the confusion evident on his faces.

Leo shrugged his shoulders as he responded, "Let's just blur over it and ignore all of that. There

is no explanation for what happened. Shall we just forget that today existed?"

"I think that would be a good course of action." Zach replied as he looked over at Leo and then

out of the window.

The two drove for the rest of the night, enjoying each others company. By the time that they got

home, they had already become close.

And with that the story ends.
