This Is a Throwdown

Max pulled the car over. Country road, sunny day. He had forgotten where he was going.

There was a duffel bag in the back seat. The car smelled like vinegar.

He felt nervous. He checked his cellphone. There was a text from Control, timestamp was 33 minutes ago. It said: KEEP DRIVING.

There was a link in the text:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backbone_network

"Hm."

Max started driving again, turned on the radio, recognized the beginning of the song.

"Hm."
