Her breathing was quick as they tore away from the scene. Only when they were one with traffic again did her intakes of air slow down, though they had been quiet instead of ragged pants. Sarita's eyes were ahead, a few detours taken through less-travelled sections of town to join up with the main traffic again. Within minutes, they were on their way to the music shop.
"Just between you and me," Sarita said, accent thicker than usual, "we ran from the cops because I just about broke every traffic law in Nevada. But I must stress, Miss Miko: you did not hear that from me."
Silence fell upon them for a few more minutes. Miko then voiced she was hungry, and Sarita looked over and smirked in unison with the girl. "Well, I think you deserve a treat, then," said the singer, turning down the next left to backtrack towards a passed McDonald's. "You almost lost your phone, after all."
One of the many interesting things about a travelling life were the tidbits of lore people shared. Urban legends, life hacks, loopholes that could be exploited — Sarita tried to remember them all, even going so far as to keep notes on napkins. Said notes often ended up used as toilet paper or for cleaning oneself off, but not the one with the "secret menu" written on it. Taken from a slot in the driver's side door, it was handed to Miko, the woman telling the girl to "order anything she thought was interesting".
Once they got to McDonald's, Sarita happily paid for any bizarre, mutated or just plain strange orders that Miko came up with. For the singer? A McFlurry with vanilla pie blended into it, and the infamous "McGangbang" — a Big Mac with a chicken piece and a fish filet instead of two more meat patties. The former was being dug into between words and driving, Sarita happily scarfing down the beloved treat.
"...So you see, Miko," the woman finished, after happily divulging various secret menus from Taco Bell to Chipotle, "the fast food world is your oyster. Obviously you can't order these things by what people call them, but there's nothing stopping you from putting Baja Sauce on everything. Seriously, that shit is delicious."
She took a couple of bites, then pulled over to the curb in front of the music store.
"And don't say 'shit', either. Not until you're eighteen, at least."
The singer popped the door on her side, then went around and opened Miko's. She turned only to see an angry young man marching towards them, the woman freezing in place as Miko's name was called. Her expression was of surprise only for a moment, but then it turned to one of distasteful realization.
"You've been looking for this young lady?"
She turned to Miko and gave the girl a stern (but not too stern) scowl. She wondered for a moment if this was "Bob", but he looked too young to be the man Miko had described in the desert.
"Miko, has this young gentleman been looking for you?"
"Just between you and me," Sarita said, accent thicker than usual, "we ran from the cops because I just about broke every traffic law in Nevada. But I must stress, Miss Miko: you did not hear that from me."
