Jack's Lost Love

“A what?”

“A Magellan locator.”

“Now why would I do that?”

“I don’t know if you didn’t, someone wants to know where you are.”  Screwball laughed.  “Maybe Carmen?”

“Screwball, you know better than that, she trusts me.”

“Just joking.  I wonder who put it on.  They wired it into your markers, sloppy job when you hit your lights it shorts them out.”

“Who ever owns these loads had it done,” Professor replied.  “When the guard caught those two, he said the other two got away, I’ll bet they put this thing on while we were talking to the other two.”

“I’ll bet you’re right Professor, they didn’t want to lose us again.”

“What are we going to do?”  Zorro asked.

“Take it off,” Nut replied.

“Hand me some wire cutters, tape and a screwdriver Red.”

“Sure thing it will take a minute.” Red said as she reached in her side box to get the things needed to do the job.

Screwball cut the wires and took the screws out and started to throw the box.

“No, Screwball don’t, throw that box!” Nut said, “Hand it down let’s put that locator too good use.”  Nut took the locator when Screwball handed it down and passed it on to Red.

“What can we do with that thing?”  Zorro asked

Professor started laughing.  “What we really need to do is put that unit on another vehicle.”

Zorro laughed.  “Why not, that would blow their minds regardless of who they are?”

Screwball nodded his head and said.  “We’ll find something.”  He handed down the screwdriver, tape and the wire cutters so Red could put them back in her tool box.

“Got light problems, need any help?”  Another trucker walked by and asked as Red sat the locator down.

“No, just boss problems.”  Red answered.

“Me too.  What’d he do?”

“Installed a locator on Zorro’s rig without telling him.”  Nut said.

“Man that is low.” The other driver laughed and said.

“Want to help us play a trick on him?”  Red said and laughed.

“Sure will.  I’ll be more than happy to help.  But how?”

“We’ll install the locator on your rig.  When you stop again get another trucker to put it on his rig.  It’ll drive Zorro’s boss crazy trying to figure out where he is.”  Red suggested.

The trucker laughed.  “Sure, I’ll do that, I like confusing bosses.”

“It’ll take about fifteen minutes, all we need is a hook up.”  Zorro replied.

“Hook it into the marker, when I turn them off it’ll go dead.  That’ll confuse them.”

Screwball climbed up on the other drivers trailer and installed the locator.
