After the funeral Melissa sat on the front porch of the mobile home starring into space grieving for her husband." Why did he have to be killed? And who killed him?" she cried into her hands. "Mike did." Leona told her.
Melissa looked at her, "don't, don't start that crap, not now, please Leona." She said looking at her through her tears.
"None of us are safe." Leona told her feeling that same fear she felt before.
Melissa became angry." Stop it! I just buried my husband! Will you please let me mourn his death in peace?!" she yelled and ran into the mobile home and into her room.
Leona cried fearing the end was just around the corner for all of them." She doesn't believe me. Oh God what can I do to save us from him?" she asked looking out at the trees across the highway as tears streaked her face.
A month had past since Jeff's murder and still there weren't any clues to his murderer. Melissa and Leona had just pulled into the truck stop and walking across the parking lot when they saw a black rig barreling down on them. Leona began screaming seeing Maryann's body flying up into the air. Melissa grabbed her pulling her across the parking lot with her, the huge truck trampled over the pumps causing an explosion to toss Melissa and Leona through the air. Ben ran outside in total disbelief of what he had just witnessed along with the rig still barreling down the road with flames coming from it. "What the hell?" he asked not knowing what to make of this and believing Leona that Mike had returned from the dead.
At the hospital Melissa had suffered a compound fracture to her left leg, and Leona's left arm was broken in three different places. Ben stayed at their mobile home to help protect them, even though none of them knew how to fight something already dead. Melissa was at her wit's end. "I refuse to let him win damn it!" she told Leona and Ben as they sat on the porch. They heard the engine of the eighteen wheeler coming down the highway.
"Quick get the kids and get out of here!" Melissa yelled trying to get out of her chair. Leona grabbed the children as Ben lifted Melissa into his arms and carried her to the car. Ben had just started the car when the eighteen wheeler came crashing through the mobile home. Throwing the car into drive, he quickly sped away with the huge truck on their tail. The children were screaming and crying as the huge truck was inches from their bumper. Leona was crying as she watched the truck from hell coming for them, Melissa could not believe her eyes when she saw another rig coming toward them, it was Jeff's and it sparkled brightly. Ben pulled the car over into a field as they watched the battle of the two eighteen wheelers and the winner gives them life or death.
The two huge rigs faced off on the road, their engines roaring loud, the sound was almost like two huge monsters screeching at each other. Then they began rolling slowly toward each other, until they were only inches from one another and then they slammed into each other, they kept this up until Jeff's truck could no longer start again, the black truck bearing down on him. The engine kept dying as he tried to start it, Melissa stood outside of the car screaming when the trucks collided into one large ball of fire. They were all silent as they watch the fire burning brighter and higher into the air, when the black truck came out of the flames directly at them. Melissa jumped into the car as they began speeding away from the devils truck.
"He's going to kill us!" Leona cried holding both children in her arms as the huge rig barred down on them and slammed into the rear end of the car, Ben tried to hold the car on the road. Up a head he saw the cliff coming up quick, he prayed he could manage to make the huge rig to go over the edge.
The huge rig had its bumper against the cars bumper pushing the car toward the edge of the cliff, everyone in the car was screaming, Ben had his foot tightly on the brakes, but the car was still heading toward the edge and then it soared through the air and burst into flames.
Melissa woke up seeing a bright light over head.
"We're alive." She said touching her face.
"I am sorry Melissa you didn't make it." Mike said laughing evilly as he drove away with her in his rig.
