It was a half-hour ride to the office. Luckily the skies were clear except for
the the storm clouds still on the horizon.

The land was flat and the roads were straight, so there was nothing much to
distract me, except for the radio.

We all seemed nervous in each other's company and travelled in awkward silence.

I wanted to ask what was going on but didn't want to admit I was interested, let
alone concerned.

Something must've gone wrong though. I could see THREE in the mirror: He was
grinding his teeth and kept turning and looking at FOUR.

Then he turned on me: 'Change the fucking radio
station! I'm sick of this fucking song!' I looked over my shoulder:
'But
I've never heard it before...'

'Right! You've never heard it before, you fuck-wit! Change the fucking
channel!' I pressed a button and some religious program came on.
'Next!' I tried again. 'Next!'

TWO turned the radio off and said: 'Maybe we should
have some quiet before we arrive; we're only five minutes away now'

We sat in silence as the town grew on the horizon. It wouldn't be long now and I
too would know the truth.
