Ryan:

It made me laugh how flawed someone like her could be, so rich so high up yet is so easy to get ahold of. I would not deny that It is conflicting to kill her, but when she woke up I had to decide what exactly needed to happen.

"Autumn how long til she wakes? I dont feel its safe to stay here."

"You cant move her she will not make it long without rest. If anything does happen I have a room here just in case."

I looked over at her without glass and branches stuck in her skin. Her life changed in a day kind of sad if she would actually live past today. I know that autumn would want to know if she is okay, she is the type to want to confirm her work even months after; Its a burden to lie but she was going to die.

I checked my chip every so few seconds for people nearby. I had my chips modded with spy features everytime they changed my chip.

Me and autumn really could not do anything but sit in silence with Tv shows on in the background. I missed my favorite shows they only have a few now that are approved, it grossed me out and I never kept intrest in tv since the world went to shit.

Opening maps I was trying to decide where to go without any issues. I checked in on Alice every few minutes.

"Its weird," said Autumn.

"What do you mean?"

"You look concerned conflicted, you almost look as if you care for a living creature," Autumn glares at me and Alice while she is still out.

"Ha you know that can't happen."

"I mean If I was you I would be interested, its not everyday a girl walks in with almost a full tree stuck in her skin, she has a story maybe hear it first if she is the same after this."

I glared at autumn in silence. We had known each other for years she could almost read my mind, our friendship had its toll when we split on our differences, she saves everyone, I'm helping a war.

That was the gross part I hated seeing the alive struggle to suffer alive, killing to me was setting people free from a even longer battle; Thats why killing never felt wrong to me. Especially knowing most of us aren't going to be worth much.

I then begin to hear Alice groan, she sits up and pulls the Iv drip out and then rips of the electronic tape that jammed the signal.

"Shit we have to go."

"Why?" Said autumn.

"She is being tracked constantly."

I glanced over at Alice who was not capable of any more then just feeling pain. I then put more tape around her chip.

"I will go to," said autumn.

"Are you sure your kind of a needed person these days."

"Yes, Im intrigued and wanna go."

Alice looked small but was rather heavy and I carried her through the kichen and to the door where alice opened it frowning. I make it to the car and quickly notice survey drones already here. I start the car leaving autumn to make sure she is in the car herself. Autumn runs to the car from grabbing something from inside, she trips of a rock.

"Just go!!!" autumn shouts.

I drive off fast and try and remember where to go now that we had a full chase behind us. Alice groans in pain after every turn and bump, I did not acknowledge her pain and that made her give me weird looks, and seem more on edge. I take turns down narrow alleys and through everything side streets trying to loose the drones; I had not seen any cars yet however.

Alice:

He was helping me, it was rather strange that someone wanted to help me. I wanted to thank him even though we were still driving and were not exactly safe yet; My lungs though, it hurt everywhere to breathe to move to live and I did not think I could talk. I was still not convinced he was Jason and considering I had hit this man with my care early on in the day.

I noticed tape over my chip.

"Dont touch that its the only thing helping us get away."

He noticed I looked down at the tape. He then realised I was sore all over and could not speak with every inch of my brused and broken.

I tried not to show my worry about my trust but he was reading my face like a book.

"I'm ryan, I will make sure your safe for now but I am not here to help you in fact I'm the opposite but something tells me you have a story so I figured I wanted to hear it."

Wasnt exactly comforting but the best its gotten recently.

I raised an eyebrow and made out the words.

"Cant exactly talk when my lungs are sore," I said sounding like a smoker in there prime.

He frowned, "I have alchol in the back we don't exactly have meds the doctor was captured."

I suddenly became woke to the stitches and maybe even minor surgery.

He was still driving fast and turning everywhere he could and it made for a rough ride. I quickly notice a gun under his leg. I grab it.

"Hey what-."

I roll down the window and shoot one of the drones overhead, the other ones moving became more erratic as I fired 2 shots and missed then the 3rd shot I hit and I loved that sound.

"Where did you learn that?" He says.

"Summer camp." I barely make out.

My dad always prefered to have me elsewhere while he worked but I got to be a real person when that happened, besides the security detail. I smiled at me a little girl flirting with this one security guard who had a red birthmark under his eye I called him red and tried getting in his pants at like 13. It hurt to clinch when smiling and it quickly brought me out of that.

"Since no drones we will steal a new car and stay at a hotel," he said.

He then pulls into a store parking lot. Im amazed he avoided check points to be honest but just went along. He then walked up to a blue van, it was a total mom car and it made me smile that he choose it. I limp to the passenger side and he does some criminal magic shit that looks weird. and gets it open. I climb in and he drives off this time he drives slow and nice and I actually start to fall alseep. How long can I trust this man though I keep saying in my head.
