Let’s Get There Before We Get Into More Trouble!

Jasmine, looking at the guards, surprised that they deflected her bullets, turns to John, Alexia, & Luke, yells at them, "Get out of here! I will find you guys! Just get out of here before you guys get hurt!

John immediately replies, "What about you?"

Jasmine immediately replies, "I will deal with them until then! Don't worry about me, GO! Run, you fools!"

Jasmine nods her head at John, & John nods his head back at her. He suddenly turns to Alexia & Luke, saying, "Alright, let's go!"

John, Alexia, & Luke start running to the nearest exit when they suddenly hear more gunshots going off, with most of them sounding like they're deflecting off the dome-like shield. One of the bullets even goes flying past the group's head, hitting the exit wall near them. They keep running to the door & out of the nearest exit of the airport.

John quickly asks Luke, "So how are we going to get out of here, Luke?"

Luke quickly points to the parking garage & says, "There! We can promptly escape with some of the vehicles in there!"

John immediately replies, "I love your thinking, Luke!"

John then yells, "LET'S GO! QUICKLY!"

The groups start running towards the parking garage. Once they get to the parking garage, John says, "Ok! Which car is yours, Luke?"

Luke lets out a small short laugh, picks up a backpack near where he's standing, hidden behind some pillars & says, "None of these cars are mine. We will have to steal one! Pick which one you guys want to steal, hopefully, something that'll get us out of here VERY quickly!"

John looks at Luke & lets out a small short laugh, saying, "Oh, this will be easy! I'm a professional at this!"

John then looks at Alexia & says, "Alexia, find something fast for us!"

Alexia nods her head & starts running around the parking garage looking for a fast sports car. After about 2 & a half minutes, she yells out, "Found one over here! QUICK, Hurry up & open this!"

Luke & John run over to the car when they get there, Luke starts trying to pick the lock when suddenly, John punches out the driver side window, causing the car alarm to go off.

Luke looks at John & says, "Great job on being quiet & stealthy about it! Now they can find us faster!"

John nods his head a bit & says, "You're right about that. I didn't even think about that. Hopefully, Jasmine is keeping them busy enough to stop them from coming after us until we can get out of here!"

Luke turns his head sideways & replies, "Wait! We aren't just going to leave her alone here!"

John shakes his head, "Trust me. Jasmine is more than capable of handling herself! She is probably mopping the floor with them right now! She will be ok & if she says that she will find us later, then I have faith that she will!"

Alexia chimes in, saying, "He is right, you know!"

Luke shrugs & replies, "Ok, you know more about her than me, so I'll take your guys' word on it!"

Luke opens the door & gets in the driver seat. He starts to hardwire the car to make it startup & run. Afterward, he pulls out a laptop from the backpack he picked up & puts it on the passenger's seat. Alexia picks up the pack as she's getting into the passenger's seat and then puts the bag on her lap after she sits down. When the engine turns on, he begins quickly driving out of the parking garage & leaves the airport as fast as they can.

Suddenly, Luke looks at Alexia & quickly says, "Alexia, open the laptop! I need you to start typing some code in there!" Luke looks back at the road.

Alexia quickly opens the laptop, turns it on, & says, "Ok, what is it that you want me to type in?"

Luke starts telling Alexia all the code he wants her to type into the computer. Suddenly, there is a loud ping that comes out from the laptop. Luke immediately says, "Ok, GOOD! Now close it, but still leave the laptop on. You guys will see what I have planned in a little bit!"

Alexia & John both look at Luke & say, "I'm scared of what it is that you have planned."

Luke immediately replies, "Don't worry. It's not anything bad."

Luke stops for a moment, then says, "Well, not right now, that is! But you will see what it is soon!"

Both John & Alexia look at Luke with a scared expression on their face & says, "Ummm, you better not get us discovered! Remember, we need to be hiding from, well, whoever those people were back there!"

Luke looks over at Alexia & says, "Don't worry. It's supposed to help get out of here! But it will do it in style! We will get out of here very quickly now! We will now have very little resistance to stop us!"

John looks at Luke & says, "How will this help us if we are doing it in style?"

Luke shakes his head & says, "Just shut up, John & let me do my work! I don't need you to question me on everything I do! I don't need you to tell me what to do! You're lucky I even help you too! I only wanted to help Alexia, not you!"

Alexia punches Luke in his side, which makes him let out a small grunt of pain. She immediately says, "Stop being a jerk to him, Luke! He has helped me many times to have us even get here! As I said earlier, if you keep acting like this, both John & I will leave!"

Luke sighs & says, "Fine! I'll stop sorry, Alexia."

Luke then tells Alexia, "Alexia! QUICK, pull out the trigger from the backpack! We will need it very soon!"

Alexia quickly opens the backpack & pulls out a weird-looking device & says, "Do you mean this?"

Luke looks over real quick & immediately replies, "Yes! That's it! When I say so, you need to press the trigger quickly! Or it will make it harder for us to escape!"

Alexia nods in agreement as Luke quickly looks back at the road. Suddenly as Luke passes a security checkpoint, yells out, "NOW!"

Alexia immediately presses the button. As she does, a loud electrical, booming sound heard coming from the bottom of the car.

Alexia & John look back as they see the guards looking at their equipment. Alexia immediately yelling, asking Luke, "What was that, Luke?"

Luke silently chuckles for a moment, saying, "I created a small device that fries all the electronics in a small area around the laptop but doesn't destroy the laptop or any car engines at all. It was hard to make, but I made it work after about 2 & a half days of work!"

John looks at Luke & says, "Nice job Luke! I didn't know that you would make this for us! You didn't even know that something terrible was going to happen while we were at the airport. But you still made this thing. Why?"

Alexia looks at Luke with a confused look on her face & replies, "He is right. Why did you make this? You were only going to pick us up, so why make something like this when you didn't even know that something bad would even happen?"

He immediately replies, "I like to have something, in case something terrible did happen. This laptop is something I made for escaping the airport. You said you needed my help with something terrible, so I made something to help me out in almost anything situation."

Alexia nods her head at him & replies, "How did you know that someone wouldn't have taken the backpack when after you left it there?"

Luke immediately replies, "I made sure that it's hidden in a place that no one would have found it."

John thinks for a moment, & replies, "Well, how did you even get it anywhere near the airport? Stuff like this is EXTREMELY illegal to have in or near an airport. So, why did you make something that could have gotten us in sever trouble before we even left the airport?"

Luke shakes his head & replies, "I got it near the airport by hiding the bag in a shielded case into the backpack that stops radio signals from detecting anything in the pack. DUH!"

John shrugs & replies, "Ok, but how did you get here at the airport? You said that none of the cars in the parking garage you owned. So, the question now is, how did you get to the airport with none of the vehicles you own?"

Luke nods his head & replies, "I had my friend drive me to the airport, then have him leave after dropping me off. I told him two words that say to him whether he needs to wait for us or go without us. I do remember that you said something that you need help with something terrible. If the whole situation did go wrong, I told him ahead of time to leave me, especially if he heard something terrible happen. I don't want him to get caught too! He has helped me out many times & never told anyone about the stuff he & I do. I trust him with my life!"

Alexia nods & says, "So when heard the stuff that happened with Jasmine & the guards. Well, whatever that was, he left?"

Luke nods in agreement & replies, "Yes. He even sent me a message that he is leaving. Like I told him to."

John looks at Luke & says, "What was it the message that he sent you to tell you that he is leaving or left?"

Luke immediately replies, "John, I want to say that I don't like you asking me many questions. BUT to let you & Alexia know, the message I told him to send me was a chicken emoji. Something short, small, & quick!"

John nods his head & says, "I have to say, Luke, that is smart! I like it!"

Luke immediately replies, "I know it is because I thought of it! DUH!"

Alexia punches Luke on the side & says, "Stop being cocky! Also, I know that was a way of you trying to be mean to him without making it obvious! Remember, what I said, stop it! Or we will find a way back home without going back to that airport & let whatever happened earlier happens again!"

Luke sighs in annoyance then says, "FINE! I'm sorry, John. Do you forgive me?"

John replies, "I forgive you, but please stop being mean to me. I know that you are jealous that Alexia & I can hang out more with her than you can. I want to help her, just as much as you wish. Understand that we're on the same page here except that you love her as a crush, while I love her like a sister. She's practically family to me. Our love for her is different, but she still means a lot to both of us. So I won't get mad at you as long as you stop disrespecting me. Deal?"

Luke nods his head & replies, "Fine, but at least don't get in the way for my love of her."

John replies, "Don't worry, I won't! She is still family to me. So, if you, for some reason, try to harm her or get her hurt, in ANY way. Then I will hurt you back!"

Luke shakes his head for a moment & replies, "Don't worry. I won't let ANYTHING happen to her!"

Luke thinks for a moment, & says, "How will Jasmine find us? Where we're going, no one can find us!"

John shrugs & replies, "I don't know. She has always been going to find things & people, whenever she needs them, for whatever reason. So I bet she'll find us. Regardless of where we're hiding. She is THAT good!"

Luke nods & thinks for a moment. Then says, "Well, should I be afraid of the fact that she's an FBI agent?"

Alexia immediately replies, "I doubt that she even is an actual agent. I think she got the badge from some cheap toy shop & did a few things to make it look real. There's no way that she is an actual FBI agent."

Luke immediately replies, "Well, it did look like she was talking to someone when she had her gun pointed at one of the 'guards' before she shot him in the leg."

John replies, "Maybe she was faking that so that it can help her look like a real agent. I mean, it did look convincing to me. But if she were an agent for anything, then it would have been self-evident. She was never good at hiding secrets or anything really from people. So, we should be ok. Get us to safety. So, we can deal with everything that just happened at the airport in front of us."

Luke immediately replies, "Ok, it will kinda be a long ride to get where we're going. Get comfortable. It will be a while until we get there."

Alexia & John both sigh in annoyance. John then says, "I hate car rides. Just start going as fast as possible so we can get there quickly!"

Luke replies, "If I go any faster, then we'll be pulled over by the cops, making everything worst for us. We need to get there with as little problems as possible & not have any law enforcement of any type get in the way of us arriving at our destination! I'm going as fast as I can without getting noticed!"

John sighs & says, "Fine, how much longer do you think it will take to get there?"

Luke pauses to think for a moment & says, "Maybe an hour or 2. three at the worst. Just get comfortable & I'll tell you guys when we get there."

Alexia & John start to lie back in their seats. Alexia reclines back her seat & says, "Ok, I'm going to go to sleep then."

Luke nods his head & says, "That's a good idea! John, it might be a good idea to do the same thing too!"

John immediately replies, "I was already about to do that too!"
