Drive to freedom.

Teri looked out the car's window as the trees sped past her in the wee hours of a Saturday morning. They had been on the road since 4am since it took them more than two hours to get to the auction house and knowing how packed they could be may have to walk a good deal to get to it from the parking lot. "Do you think we will find me the right vehicle, dad?"

"I'm sure we'll find something that will work for you with the short time you have left," her father stated, as he patted her hand.

Teri just softly smiled as she flipped on the small overhead light that shone on the passenger seat as she looked at the flyer once again, it was a huge car/truck/semi auction as it stated that some of the vehicles were from local dealerships that could never really sell them for the prices that they wanted for brand new vehicles and the companies that built them basically told them sell them at auction and send what they got back to them. She hoped that she would finally find the vehicle for herself. There was not much time left for her.

Teri watched as they drove closer to Joplin, Missouri as the auction house was there. She hoped that they wouldn't go over their budget as she earned a lot of money to buy her own vehicle as she didn't have much time to deal with searching and searching.

It took them another thirty minutes to pull into the road that would lead them to High Noon Car and Truck Auction House. As they drove closer, they noticed that large crowd at the auction house. Teri turned to look at her dad with a worried look on her face.

He smiled softly as he patted her hand. "It will be okay, we'll find something for you."

"I hope so," Teri stated, as she whispered to herself. 'Not likely.'

They drove down the parking lot looking for a free spot to park in, which took another ten minutes of driving to find. Teri was anxious to go examine the vehicles to make her decision on which ones she should focus her attention on bidding on. She reached into her backpack and grabbed her notepad and pen. She looked over at her dad as he was making sure that the seats were not going to be too hot for them when they sit down later on when they head home empty handed yet again.

"Dad, hurry up." Teri replied. She was annoyed by the slowness of her dad.

He looked up at her and smiled. "Why don't you hurry on and go inspect the vehicles that you want to consider? I'll go get our number." As he closed his door and locked it.

Teri smiled as she hurried off towards the car lot.

Her father walked towards the line to get their number for bidding. He knew these types of auctions will be a lot of money for one vehicle and it might go beyond their own small amount of fifteen thousand dollars. He pulled out his checkbook and looked at the check waiting to be signed by him – another fifteen thousand dollars, his little girl's birthday present. He knows he'll get a chewing out by his wife but he didn't care as giving what his little girl wants is now important since their last doctor's visit.

Teri went to the edge of the rope corral where they kept the vehicles and looked at the hundreds of vehicles of all types as she flipped open her notebook and started to look at the vehicles. She looked at the silver Mercedes Benz but knew that they'll start the bidding at the sticker price or a bit lower to entice the bids to come in on it. But she did check it fully out which included her sitting in the driver's seat and seeing how it would fit her if she won it. She climbed out of the car and marked it down as a possible bid but she knew it would be unlikely as she ventured to the other vehicles.

It was close to a full hour before she looked at all of the vehicles, which included pickup trucks and Semis. Teri had at least fifty vehicles on her list of wants but she knew that likely chance of her getting one of them was extremely slim. All she could do was hope that she did get one.

"Teri!" yelled a voice.

Teri turned to see her father walking towards her. She smiled as she waved him to see the last vehicle on her list – a red and blue flamed Peterbilt.

"You like this one?"

"Its one of the last ones on my list and by the number on his window, he might be the last one up for auction, dad." Teri stated as they walked towards the auction house.

"Well, lets hope for the best," he replied, as they headed towards the stands that overlooked the path that the vehicles were going to drive down as they're auctioned off. They picked the middle of the stands as they scooted past a few people already sitting down. The smell of cigarettes irritated Teri's nose as they walked past couple of cigarette smokers. All Teri could do was making sure that fresh air got to her nose as they moved to the center of the stands. Even with her hand waving, she could smell the cigars and the cigarette smoke from those who were in the auction house already.

The large sliding doors were finally raised as the wind from outside came rushing in taking with it the smell and smoke from the smokers, much to Teri's relief even though she noticed that the sign on the wall behind them said no smoking as she took hold of their number to notice the number on the paper. "Our favorite number,"

Her father nodded as he looked at her before focusing his attention on the auctioneer.

The auctioneer tapped the microphone as it made a noise over the auction house. "Good morning everyone, I advise all you smokers to please put out your cigars and cigarettes for the duration of the auction. Thank you very much."

The auctioneer watched as the smokers did as they were told before he gave the signal to bring in the first vehicle into the arena. He smiled as his handlebar moustache went up. "Alright, let us start off the day with the cars. This here beauty is a black 2006 Toyota Camry Solara. There is a reserve on this vehicle, so let us hear the first bid of $500."

It was not too long before the bidding went to twenty thousand before the gavel came down signaling the close of the bidding on the vehicle.

Teri looked at her father. "You could have gotten it new from a dealership for that amount."

Her dad only nodded as the next car came out. "So when is your first vehicle coming up for bidding?"

"It should be up next as it is number 002." Teri replied, as she looked at the open arena door.

He turned to look and then back at her in shock. "You are going to try to get a Porsche, Teri?"

"Why not give it a try, dad?" Teri smiled back, as she grabbed the bid sign from him.

"But what about your budget, they are very expensive,"

"I know, I can hope, can't I?" Teri replied, as she took the first bid of $500.

It was not long before it was beyond Teri's budget as she dropped her head as she marked the Porsche off her list of vehicles, now only forty-nine more vehicles to contend with and hopefully, she'll get one of them if not, there will always be next week's auction.

"You gave it a valiant try, honey, you cannot give up as your next pick might be the one, you will win?" her father told her as he rubbed her back as she popped her back before leaning forth allowing her father to run his hand over her back easing some of the muscles.

The Porsche was rolled out as the vehicle's new owner went rushing out of the house to finalize their new vehicle. Teri could only sigh with relief knowing that meant one less bidder for the other vehicles that they would bring out.. The next three hours went past fast as finally she heard the number that she was waiting for.

"Hopefully, this next one will be the one I get, dad." Teri said, as she watched as the black with white top Toyota Rav4 drove into the arena and parked.

"What's the lot number?" he asked.

"Lot number 1216," Teri informed him as he looked at the coloring of the vehicle. "Are you going to get a bit hot in the summer with the white top, Teri?"

"Maybe but you can never tell with the summers here, dad." As she looked around hoping that the bidders would not bid on this one.

The auctioneer went on about what the vehicle contained and what could be added by the dealership it came from and he started off the bidding on a very low price. Teri got her hopes up that she could get this one. But then, someone yelled out a higher number and Teri shook her head as she picked up her pen and crossed out the Rav4 on her list. She sighed as it looked like she was going to be getting a pickup truck or perhaps a Semi if she didn't get a car soon.

"How many are there left on your wanted list, Teri?"

"Only about ten more and then we move to the pickups and then to the semis," Teri lowered her head knowing that even though she got both her normal driver's license, she had also got her commercial license as well, since semis were considered commercial vehicles, regardless what they were used for. "I have about ten pickups that I'm interested in."

The ten cars that she wanted from her list went off above her price and she was getting frustrated with the auction, she almost decided to go to the owner and tell him she'll buy the car she was after outright. Her dad reassured her that it will be okay, even if she got herself a semi. She looked at him. "Are you sure? You know that mom will basically flip a lid when she sees me coming home in a Semi, when she expects me to come home with a nice safe car?"

"I know, just leave her to me," Her dad replied, as he smiled at her as they focused their attention on the cars.

The last car on Teri's list went off beyond her price range and that closed the auction for the cars, now was the pickup trucks and then the semis. Teri noticed that all the car buyers left the house, leaving those who were looking for a pickup or a semi to buy. All she could hope for was that they wouldn't go beyond her budget and let her get either a pickup or a semi.

The pickup trucks went off right at ten thousand, Teri was shaking her head as the calls of upping the bids were heard as her offer of fifteen thousand was outbid by five thousand dollars and more before the gavel rang out and the truck was sold.

It was like that for the rest of the pickup trucks. Teri just sighed as the pickup trucks were bid out of her price range within a moment after she gave her bid. She started to really lose hope that she would ever get a vehicle or even a semi.

The Freightliner and the other Peterbilt went beyond her budget within one bid. She just shook her head hoping that she would get the last one she picked. She glanced over to the door as the roar of the diesel truck came echoing through out the house as the blue and red Peterbilt was driven into the arena. She knew it was going to be a very long shot but she hoped that the bidders were not interested in this vehicle at all as everyone listened to the description of it.

Teri's dad smiled as he placed his checkbook on her pad. She glanced down to see the check and then she gasped in shock. "Dad?"

Her dad smiled as he took his checkbook back. "I was meaning to give this to you for your wedding but this is more important to you, since you know. I will help you buy the Semi if you go over your budget."

"Oh daddy! Thank you I now got hope again," Teri hugged her father as she glanced at the auctioneer as he finished off the description of the truck that was idling before them.

He started it right off at ten thousand dollars. Teri immediately placed her bid on it. Soon, another bid on it. Soon, the price was a firm forty grand, five thousand more than what her father had. The auctioneer looked over at her. "Ma'am, anymore bids from you, on this here lovely Peterbilt?"

Teri shook her head as the gavel landed hard on the block and the cry of sold was heard. Teri didn't want to glance up as the Peterbilt was driven out of the arena. She scooted out of the stands and down the stairs headed for the exit knowing that this weekend's visit to the auction house was for naught as all of the vehicles that she wanted to buy was sold right from underneath her.

Her father looked at her. "Why don't we look at the cars that didn't get sold and see if the seller will sell them to you for a cheap price?"

Teri looked at the other cars that didn't get sold. "Well, okay."

They went to the cars and started to look at them again, each one she didn't really favor but for the red and gold Rav4 and she eyed the red and blue Peterbilt that was sitting there waiting for his new owner to come and claim him. "I really wanted that truck, dad, since it was the last one on my last and by the report of how it was used before being here - it is a very young truck."

"I know you did, but he got out of our price range way too fast," He replied, as they started to look at the other vehicles, they never noticed someone approaching them.

"Excuse me? I'm Bruce Koon, the owner of High Noon auction house. I heard you were interested in owning that Semi, as you were bidding quite a lot on him," a tall man with dark brown hair said, walking up to them pointing towards the red and blue semi.

"Yes, but the bidding went beyond our last bid of forty grand," Teri stated.

"Well, just to let you know, the high bidder had forfeited his bid,"

"What do you mean, he forfeited his bid?" asked Teri shocked.

"Well, when he got to the window to pay for it. He thought it was 38 grand, not forty grand. He withdrew his winning bid on the semi, which means I have to auction him over again." Bruce stated. He looked at them. "I really do not do this, but heck, I do not want to put him back on the auction block again. So since you are the second highest bidder, would you like to buy him for 35 grand?"

Teri looked at him in shock for several moments as she looked at her father. She knew she had to say something fast. "Would we? Yes, we would," This day was now going better than she had ever dreamed of.

Bruce Koon smiled as he wrote up the sale bill and handed it to her. "Now, all you need to do is go to the buy window and give them that bill and the check for 25 grand and he'll be all yours,"

"Uh, Mr. Koon, you said 25 grand, not 35 grand," Teri said, looking at him as she held the bill out to him.

"Well, if the guy didn't bid like he did, you would have gotten him for 25 grand, so I'm selling him to you for that price. Don't make me retract the offer," He stated, with a wink before he headed off to another possible buyer of one of the unsold vehicles.

Teri hurried towards the buy window and got in line as she waited for her turn to pay for the semi, as the lady pushed the brown envelope which held the title and the keys and left the window to go get her semi.

Bruce Koon watched as the girl climbed into the Semi and drove off the lot with her father following behind her in the vehicle they drove in with. He headed for his office knowing that he needed to call a friend up and speak with him. He dialed the number and waited for an answer. "May I speak with Lennox please? Yes, I'll hold. Hi Lennox, it's Bruce. The Big Man has been sold. No, I didn't tell her anything about Big Man. Should I? Okay, she'll figure it out when he transforms to protect her. If Big Man does that, that is, he may stay in vehicle mode." He hung up the phone with a smile on his face as he gazed out towards the sun as it went past the auction arena.
