Chapter 8

Jason:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I raced down the roads trying to avoid everything that made me slow down. I expected her to be smarter, but I ultimately had no idea who she was with; all I had known is that she helped us, she had been funneling money of her familys into us so we can become better. Thoughts ran through me of possibly. I vowed to take her in when we take her dad out and now she is screwed if I dont get her in soon, there were others people I don't know hunting her, people that somehow knew things. It was the race to the crown at this point and we wernt alone on trying to get it, but that was to our advantage other people take over and do majority efforts means smarter work not harder work.

The loaction on Alice's wrist had still continued to show. They were at a shitty hotel and that did not suprise me, someone was catching a hint though because they were doing door sweeps; starting in the area and expanding outward. The loaction was moving though as if bringing bags in and out.

I say 3 minutes to get them I speed now probably going over 100 but did not care to look.

As I made my way twards the exit and traffic light people were in the crosswalk probably students or traines. I then pulled my gun fron under the seat and fired in the air and they all made there way to the side-walk. Guns were so rare that it would scare even most X or government personnel.

I race in and I see the loaction tag approach me from a car, I speed forward and slam into the car at 40 mph at the least.

Alice:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm awake Im alive" I told myself.

"I can't move why can't I move?"

The head pain hurt and Ive fallen from a plane and been hit by a car in the past 2 days.

"Who are you?"

I had very little vision capabilities with blood dripping down and head pain.

"What about Ryan?"

"I'm jason you need to relax he isn't supposed to be around you and I think you know that."

He pulls me with a pistol in one hand and holding me in the other twards a gas station.

"Maybe this man can keep me safe." I thought to myself.

He points a gun at a person gasing up his car.

"Leave he screams," dispite that being scary as fuck his voice made me calm.

Crowds run away from the gas station leaving him to spend his time helping me into the car, then the a few seconds topping off the gas tank. We quickly leave as all the nearby crowds leave and then we get the hint that X are going to show up.

"I can't stay awake."

"You have to, you fall alseep with a head injury you might not wake up."

The driving made me sick and want to fall into sleep, even more so as the turning and speed made my head worse.

"I know your not doing good but I need to get to a parking garage and switch cars."

I stayed silent trying to sustain my consciousness.

"Alice stay with me."

"My name isn't Alice," I snapped.

He glared In annoyance and confusion.

"Sorry its been alot latly, the good news of everything latly is that I'm adopted and my name is Cynthia Cook. My dad-- mark I mean covered it up by making my chip be the identity he wants."

"Oh shit, I'm really sorry these last fews days have been like that for you. I should have done my job better and made sure you got out faster."

"No I'm here now I just want to get to work, how many people are at the bunker anyways?"

"Maybe 400 or so, only for high level members, the rest of the members are all over the city."

"And elsewhere?"

"You mean outside the city?"

"Yeah."

"The problem is no one will go outside the city no work, no food, no shelter your dad, sorry mark; made the city the only place to be able to live, or be anything."

"But why have your operation in a place you are going to destroy to hell?"

"Good point, I did not decide but you know you have a lot more say over things soon. Also do you smoke because you sound like shit; you know thats bad for you right?"

Despite my head still pounding I smiled.

"What?!?" He said.

"I sorta fell from the sky about 300 feet in the air I've been a bit busted up latly."

"You look good for someone who plane jumped."

"I was in my car wich all my dads cars are slightly amored."

"You feel from the sky in a car? So what Im getting you don't smoke the kind of stuff I thought you smoke the drugs."

I smiled.

"We are here," as he pull into a parking garage.

"We switch cars, drive for a few miles and walk the rest."

I became pissed off at the word walking I cant fathom any more physical anything; I don't even do this much shit in a month.

I stood up holding on to the car door. I could not walk alone, even though I hated help I needed it. He put me into the passenger side of a blue suv.

"Walking will be fun."

"Yeah."

He then pulls a bag I didn't even bother paying attention to and throws a gernade under the other car we stole and speeds off.

I raise an eyebrow that he sped off but yet bits of concrete came into the vents.

"You could have just set it on fire?"

"Fire isn't as sexy."

"No offense but your a little slow for a rebel group leader."

He gave me another side eye, it was funny seeing a grown ass man be shady like a teenager.

Jason:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was amazed she still managed to smile, that wasn't common and espically because she is being hunted and is on her way to being dead. I did not tell her to freak her out but her injurys can kill her soon if I don't get her to the bunker in the next few hours.

I am planning to break the car rule and drive as close as I feel comfortable so she doesnt have to walk. My job was to watch her and I failed and should have taken her in way sooner.

The buzz of my chip made me jump, I got a memo and it was from boss. I played the memo in my ear so Alice would not hear.

"When you get back with her be careful I think one of ours is trying to make her dead."

I ignored the message and continued on, knowing even when we get back she may be in danger; its quite a shit way to live and it sucked to see it happen. I have never in the 3 years of being in seen a traitor.

"What is it?" Alice demanded.

"Don't worry just nothing."

I can tell by her face she isn't used to not having information and that it will be something she has to overcome.

"We need to park the car a few miles away from base we have to walk rest of the way; it's the rules"

She frowned in knowing that she is not exactly in shape to walk. Im amazed her injurys from the past 2 days have nit killed her.

"I trust you so sure," Alice said.

I pulled the car to the side of the emergency lane.

"Can you grab the bag from the back?"

"Sure" alice replied.

I asked alice to do things because she looked on her way of being unconscious brain funcion and adrenaline was keeping her awake.

I hopped out of the car. To see her struggling to lift the bag I felt almost bad now.

"Hey you can just set it down I wanted to you to keep moving. Also you wanna grenade the car?"

She smiled.

"The second zipper."

She winked, she did not speak well I think she had fluid from infection maybe.

She threw the grenade into the back window and pulled the bag away quickly.

"Fun right?"
