Headlights at Night - Part 2

As we return to our story, it's important to remember that this was during the Summer. And it was during the Summer following our senior year at high school. We were in the process of finding Summer jobs, getting ready to start college the following Fall, and not really doing much of anything else at all. Leaving us with a lot of time to become really inquisitive and highly likely to do something crazy as a result. Much of this free time led to instances such as my friends leaving a mountain of political campaign signs in my front yard, or us holding inanimate items hostage. Which may be fodder for another story entirely. Point is, we were, and still are stupid. And dive headfirst into things like this.

Jonathan and Brian became quite literally flabbergasted by this mystery driver, who continued to pull into Jonathan's driveway every night around the same time. Another development was that Jonathan noticed that this guy would sometimes get out of the car, which obviously was even more cause for alarm. This said, the two of them decided that one night, they would camp out and wait for this guy. The two of them took this so far, that they stayed in Jonathan's truck that night around the time that this person would drive up in front of Jonathan's house. I can imagine that the two of them became really bored for a while, waiting for this guy to show up. They probably wondered if this guy would show up at all, given the trouble that they were going through in order to find out about this guy.

He showed up. Right on time, like clockwork, the guy pulls into the driveway. He must have thought that everyone was in bed like normal, obviously not noticing that my two esteemed colleagues were waiting very patiently for him in the back of the truck. The guy even got out of his car, as Jonathan suspected that he'd been doing. They jump out of the back of the truck, screaming at this guy while they jump into the cab and peel out after this guy who has jumped back in his car and done the same. They chase him back down to the outlet of the road, past Jonathan's sister’s house, and through the neighborhood. Eventually, during this high speed chase, they do lose the guy into the night.

After that fateful night, the guy didn't show up again for around a week. But yes, he did eventually come back, returning to do the same thing that he'd been during the time before the ambush.
