"Jesus is the only card I have left to play, but with that Card, I'll win the game." - Travis Allen 1981-99, Class of 2000, Auburn Adventist Academy

note: This is in responce to Angie's (CT) simple challenge:
Somebody out there, anybody, write a nice story that contains the following:

Jim
Blair
Truck
Bad Guy

Sweetheart

Jim flung his arm across Blair's chest as they slid around another corner.

He then slammed on the breaks at the sight of the bad guy pointing a gun at them.

He ducked, yanking Blair down with him.

The perp fired.

The bullet shattered the windshield, then popped a neat hole in the back window.

Jim could hear the glass crackling as cracks snaked outward.

He felt the rage build.

He exploded out the door, barreling toward the hapless perp.

The poor guy didn't stand a chance.

Jim snapped the cuffs on with a satisfying ~snick~.

Nobody messes with Sweetheart!
