Joe was just your average person, nothing really special about him other than he was a firefighter. He never really considered himself a hero though even though other people always seemed to treat him like one. The problem was that all he did was rescue a baby from a burning building one day and the local newspaper turned him into an instant celebrity complete with pictures and everything.

Joe could not go anywhere in town without being recognized. The same was being said for his wife as well since she was normally his partner at house fires. The downside was she could not even wear her pearl izumi shorts without people coming up to her and asking her tons of questions. Many of the questions were legitimate, but some of them were just stupid.

That was when Joe decided that him and his wife wold do something they had always dreamed of doing and that was to take a vacation. The vacation would be one that they could finally use the mongoose mountain bike the local bike shop had given them both.

Given that that they had acquired an item they had never been able to use these prior to today. He told the people they were planning to take a train South to be in the comfortable retreats of the mountains. They understood that the fresh air would certainly help calm their aged fraying nerves, but the men and women from the township would be lost the whole time that they are gone.

When Joe realized how lost they would be for only a couple of weeks he knew that they would be stunned by the next thing he decided to drop on them. The next thing that he dropped on them was that they were actually going to purchase a house while down there. People did not think that was a good idea, but knew that he had always been one to leave the town for a great experience in the outdoors.

Before Joe left however he stated, him and his better half would obtain one particular long lasting merchandise item coming from every single keep around. That was not necessarily going to cost Joe and his better half a whole lot of because lots of the shops had closed recently. However, his preferred retailer had been the cycle shop. He had discovered that they had just obtained an order of diamondback bikes and he needed to get these for him and his wife.

Joe decided that they would leave town in the middle of the night. Then they would not have to worry about people stopping them all the time. They knew that the townspeople would try to stop and talk them out of it, but tonight Joe knew that he would be leaving behind and old life and moving on to a new one that he would love just as much.
