Fast Drive Back

Saying that we drove off is..... putting it lightly. Before Amber realized that it was stick driven one. The cops have already left the building. "Drive go dammit!" Stomping on the pedal, she drives back because it's still in [R] Hittign the car behind us, I yell. "Switch, now. Move" Switching our seats, I grab the stick.

"Sir!" Seeing the cops run at me with their guns out, I duck under the wheel. Stepping on the gas, I drive forward running over some of them. Getting onto the highway, I see the cops follow us.

"Which way to the city?!" Seeing Amber open the glove department for a map, I yell. "Open your fucking GPS!" Nodding her head, she pulls out the phone and screams. "Just drive along the highway! It cuts through the city!"

Nodding my head, I step on the gas. Seeing the city in the distance, I notice the first cops on motorbikes. "Edward!" Yelling that he got it, he opens the door and slams his hand into the asphalt. Crushing the rocks in his hands into small pebbles, he throws them at the cops.

Piercing their tiers and cutting them up, they fall off their bikes and crash into each other. "Strike baby!" Lifting his hand for a high five, I focus on the road while Amber joins him.

Driving into the city, I tell them that we're gonna use the underground tunnels to enter the slums. Getting a nod from both of them, I see a city police bike follow us. They were definitely notified about a car of our description. If we play it off correctly, there won't be any trouble.

Signaling me to pull over, I pull to the side in front of the tunnel.

"Good afternoon officer." Walking up to my car, he smiles. "License and registration." Putting a roll of cash into his pocket, I smile. "I forgot it at home, sir, let's pretend like I have it." Smelling he puts it deeper into his pocket. "Sir, step out of your vehicle."

Rolling my eyes, I push down on the pedal and speed away. Speeding away, I see the cop catch up on his bike. Opening my mouth, Amber stops me, telling me that she got this. The cop speeds past us and tries to pull out his gun, only to get slammed by Amber.

Swinging what seems to be a stretched piece of asphalt, she knocks him off his motorbike. Driving for a bit longer I start to slow down and pull to the side. "What are you doing? We have to get out of the tunnel!"

Stepping out of the car, I shake my head. "They will send a party after a while but now they're shutting down the exits to the tunnels. They plan to wait us out." Getting out of the car, Edward lights his cigarette.

"Raven's right, They're gonna try and push us out." Giving his cigarette a good puff, I try to tell him to stop, but he just waves me off. "I was stuck in a crate for an hour and a half, I need it."

Looking around Amber speaks up. "So what are we supposed to do?" Smiling widely, I tell her that I have a plan.

......

Outside the slum tunnel exit, Theresa arrives still with her messy hair. "Captain! What happened." Telling them off, she stares into the tunnel. Spotting a car driving at them, Theresa yells at everyone to get into their positions.

"Stop The vehicle! Now!" Screaming through a megaphone, they watch as the car keeps on going. Opening fire at it, the car rams through the police barriers and drives into a nearby building.

Running up to him, they see it empty except for a piece of road on the gas pedal. "That cheeky bastard, Go!" Yelling at Everyone to go check the tunnel, Theresa slams, the car door shut.

........

"Did we really have to do this?" Dreading through sewers with our legs ankle-deep in shit, Amber asks. "Look, if we didn't use the car as a distraction they would probably be already searching these sewers to make sure we didn't try to escape through it."

Almost slipping, face-first into the shit. I catch myself with the cane. Straightening my back, I say. "We're almost there, just a few more meters and we will exit." Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, I smile.

Suddenly feeling the tunnel shake, Amber looks at me and asks. "Something is coming isn't it?" Giving her a weak nod, We start to sprint with full force only to slip and fall into the shit. Getting up, highly pressurized water pushes out of the pipe into a river.

Hitting the opposite shore, I get up and immediately start to wrinkle my clothes. Having shit all of my clothes, I curse. "Young man, Are you alright?" Spotting an old fisherman, he asks another question. "You're also running out of Aquaria?"

Not knowing what he means by that, I ask him to explain. "You don't know? Some Gangsters have taken to the streets down in the Slums apparently 3 whole buildings already collapsed!"

Turning to the city, I see large smoke clouds rising. "Guys! We have to go back!" Pulling Amber out of the river, I turn to the fisherman. "You got a car" NOdding and pointing at a small truck behind him, we run to it.

Stopping by the old man, I stuff his pocket full of cash that I stole from the evidence warehouse. "Good luck." Trying to say something, the other fisherman looks in shock as we get into his truck.

This time getting behind the wheel, Amber and Edward get in the back. Starting the engine we drove off. Laughing a bit, Amber remarks on how this reminds her of the first night we met. "True, we also drove a truck, but a much bigger one at that," I remark.

"It's hard to belief that barely a week has passed since our first meeting on the docks." Agreeing with Edward, I see the setting sun over the trees.

"We have a long night ahead.....Again"

A shorter chapter, I will admit. But hey, it is the second one of the day :D Which is more than the norm.

Anyways, Happy reading everyone :D
