Meanwhile FBI agent Ernst Maxwell was hot on their trail with Shane's beloved wife Chrissy in tow. "Maybe she can talk some sense into that ......., I know he is innocent, but he's dumb as a box of rocks," Agent Maxwell thought to himself as he barreled his black-on-black SUV toward Sioux City, Iowa (nowhere near New Germany, MN and the OSDIY shop). After gathering their few possessions from the Corn Cob Motel, Shane and Billie Bob jumped in the boosted '86 Fleetwood Brougham and headed, once again, in the direction of Tapachula.
"Yer really tried ta der me dirty, Shane!" Billie Bob shouted as they raced down the interstate in the Merlot Cadillac. "As long as we done known each erther? And weez kin too!" she expounded. Shane said nothing, feeling trapped and helpless he just sat there as Billie Bob went on. "I'll let 'er slide dis time but Ima gonna kep my eyes glued to yer. We oughta name this puppy, she's a speed demon," Billie Bob said referring to the Caddie. "How's bout we name it Blaine...." Billie Bob was saying proudly just as Shane shouted, "Shut up! SHUT UP! Who cares, we're done for....and it's all on you!"
They argued on, screaming back and forth at one another all the way down the highway as they passed the sign which read Welcome to Topeka . As they continued, unbeknownst to them, an obscure SUV sped into town coming from the east.

I think we better stop for gas she exclaimed, your driving like a nutball and were near empty.
They came upon a worn down gas station with a pump that looked to date back to the 50's.
"Damn head doesn't work! Let's gas er up and kick rocks," he/she said emphatically. Shane studied the run down gas station, "Place's abandoned," he shouted. Just then he took account of the dated newspaper stand. The weather beaten shards of script headlined a curious story, 'OUTBREAK' Shane scratched his head and moved toward the Merlot Brougham....
"Damn...you ARE ignant Shane," Billie Bob jeered, "Airybody knows dat Bill and Melinda folks eradicated that virus, jeez!" As they both stepped into the Caddie a lone vehicle appeared over the distant horizon of that long and linear road. Westbound, the small black dot grew in size, seemingly hovering above the heat haze as if floating on a sea of plasma.
Billie Bob kept thinking "what the heck are we going to do for gas?" as the tank it just hit the empty line..next town sign read Stephens Corners 50 mi.
the caddie shuttered and came to a bumpy stop. Still arguing amongst themselves, they got out to do the only thing they could. Walk.
As Agent Maxwell's SUV sped past a sign which read Now Entering Topeka City Limits Chrissy fidgeted beside him. Flying down the long narrow road he thought, "I got you now, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide."
As they bickered back and forth walking astride one another down that dusty road that dark blob floating on the horizon grew into a recognizable form, confrontation was inevitable now, their paths would cross...

Shane's car start to clunk, hesitating down the dusty road and then came to an abrupt halt.
"Not the radiator too..we only were just running out of gas now what are we gonna do?" said Billie Bob
"Keep walking like we were a few minutes ago down this dusty road because our car ran out of gas and then the radiator blew." Shane elaborated. Just then the shape on the horizon came into full focus.
Just as his dark SUV came to the intersection Agent Maxwell's attention was abruptly turned to the pair of figures walking down the side of the road, "Looks as though someone broke down...at a gas station no less, damned luck." He mad the turn heading southbound and as he passed the pair, "Sorry fellas, got no time to stop for ya, I'm in a hurry," he muttered as he glanced over.
Ernst Maxwell's head was a jumble, filled with the events of the past few days and the pursuit of Billie Bob and Shane. As his mind sifted through thousands of images his eyes widened, his breathing slowed, and as if in slow motion his mind made the connection with his eyes and one image came sharply into focus.
The black-on-black SUV screeched to a halt on the side of the dusty road. Moments later it whined in reverse as it sped toward Shane and Billie Bob...
