There was a gap between the last of those four cars and a smashed up mess behind them. The question
was, was the gap wide enough for all four cars? Measuring it with their steps, Judd and Vicki came to the
con-clusion that there was room for the four cars, but not much room for Judd to back out. He would
have to do it in several moves if he could do it at all.-They had to try.

'We'll just have to take them one at a time," Judd said. He peered into the window of the last car in line.
There were no clothes on the seat. The engine was off, but the keys were still in the ignition. "This must
have been someone who panicked and ran off," he said. "Lucky for us they left their keys."

Judd started the engine and backed the car up as far as possible. He slowly maneuvered it until it tapped
the first car in its way.
"The next car is still running!" Vicki shouted.

"Back it up here," Judd said.

"I've never driven," Vicki said. "You'd bet-ter do it."

Judd jogged up and opened the door, quickly realizing why Vicki didn't even want to try. This car was
full of empty clothes. In the drivers seat was a woman's suit. Her shoes were on the floor. Atop the
clothes were her glasses, necklace, earrings, and something that appeared to have fallen from her hair. As
usual, Judd found dental fillings. On the floor, near the shoes, were the woman's watch and rings.

Judd smelled perfume. He held his breath. Not wanting to step on her belongings, he gathered them up
and set them between the two front seats. On the passenger side, a man's suit and his belongings were
draped where he had sat. Judd glanced in the back-seat, where two people who had been sitting close
had left everything but flesh and bone.

That gave Judd the willies, but he had to do what he had to do. He depressed the brake, shifted from
drive into reverse, and backed the car out of the way.

The next car had its formerly lone occu-pant's clothes on the seat behind the wheel. Judd tossed these
onto the passenger side and kicked the shoes out of the way. The car was in drive and the key was on,
but it had run out of gas. "I'm gonna need your help here, Vicki," he said. "I'm going to shift this into
neutral, then I'm gonna need you to steer it while I try to push it back into those other ones."

"I really don't want to be in that car with those clothes," Vicki said. "Anyway, I've never driven."

"This isn't driving," Judd said. "You'll just be keeping it straight until it touches that car back there."

"Please! I really don't want to do this."

"Well, what do you suggest? How are we going to get out of here if you don't help me?"

"Let me push," she said. "You steer."

"We can try," Judd said, "but I don't think you realize how heavy this car is."

"I'm pretty strong."
