Chapter 2

The two made their way out of the shop and onto a sidewalk not knowing that the women who handed Zeek and Venith their donuts called an officer out of suspicion. "You know I missed you V, it's been a while since I actually had someone to talk to," Zeek said, walking across the street heading to a blue and black motorcycle with a white lighting streak across the side.

"I missed you to Zeek, is that your ride by the way?" Venith asked while Zeek still held her hand making their way to the bike. "Yup, this is my baby, I call her B." He said, rubbing one hand on the bike's side, Zeek let go of Veniths hand and got on the bike looking at her waving his hand, urging her to get on, but before he let her get on he pulled out a helmet and put it on her head.

Venith got on the back of the bike wrapping her hands around Zeek's waist as he started up the engine. "Why did you name your bike B anyway?" she asked as he started riding down the streets wind whipping in both of their faces. " I named my bike that because B is the first letter of the word bike." The two both broke out in laughter from Zeek's explanation, still zooming down the street in the process.

"Were we going Venith?" Zeek asked as they stopped at a street light both leaning their legs to the side waiting for the light to turn green. "I got a small hideout on the northeast side of town." The light turned green, they picked up their legs and kept riding, about two minutes after they kept going they heard a known beep come from behind them. Zeek pulled over, hands still on the bike. A cop came up to Zeek and Venith and shined a light in Zeek's while Venith had her head tucked into Zeek's back. "Do you know why I pulled you over?" The cop said, "Speeding?" Zeek asked shrugging his shoulders.

The man nodded and shines the light towards Venith. Without the man noticing Zeek's grip tightened on the black handlebars of the bike, ready to pull off any moment. "Got a shy one don't you?" the cop said as Zeek just nodded his head looking forward. "Let me see your face little lady," he said to Venith, she slowly lifted her hood showing a girl with curly black hair, two beautiful eyes one a light silver color, and another a lovely dark purple and brown skin.

The cop quickly grabs for his gun in his holster only for Zeek to pull off on the cop. He fastens down the street with Venith giggling at the speeds they were going while the cop called in back up. "What are you laughing at!" Zeek said, smiling widely, "Oh, come on man did you see his face when he recognized me, It was absolutely hilarious!" They both started laughing, then they heard sirens from behind. "Looks like the fun is a little short-lived, come on let's lose these guys!" Zeek yelled to Venith over the wind. "I agree let us take a detour!" Venith started looking around the streets as Zeek ducked and weaved through the cars. "Over there take the alleys!" She said pointing at an alleyway, they took the alleyway causing the police to stop the chase. They both came out through the other side still driving at high speeds. "Woo! We got rid of them V." The celebration was cut short when they hear a huge ramp up from an engine coming from behind them. "Sorry to cut this short Zeek, but my stalkers have returned!" Zeek turns his head to his side-view mirror to see two men dressed in black suits on motorcycles driving after them. One man had a huge black beard and dark sunglasses on, while the other one had slick back hair and the same glasses as the first man. Zeek went to the highest speed he could, but they still seemed to be catching up. "I think they're getting closer," Venith said looking back. "I'm going as fast as I can V I don't particularly see you helping!" Zeek sassed with a smirk on his face. "Oh, you wanna see my help I'll help!" he looked around and her eyes landed on the sidewalk.

"Hop on the sidewalk it might slow them down." she urged Zeek, "I don't think that's a good idea V!" he said looking at the side view mirror again as they got closer. "Just do it!" Zeek turned the handlebars and jumped to the sidewalk while people jumped out of the way as the bikes came through. "Ok, what's your plan now?!" he yelled at Venith, "Just give me a minute to concentrate!" Venith took a deep breath and shut her eyes tight as she concentrated on the ground below her. Suddenly one of the men on the bike flips over and crashes, the ground below the other man rises and causes his bike to flip in the air as well making a huge crashing sound. Zeek turned his head, looking behind himself, then turned back head facing back to the road. "HOLY SHIT, you did it!... What did you do exactly anyway?" Venith chuckled, "We can worry about that later, right now we need to get to the hideout before any more goons or the cops come after us. At the next corner turn 50 blocks. When you turn, you'll see a tea shop I want you to park across and behind it. Tell me when you get there I'm gonna rest my eyes for a minute. " Venith closes her eyes and lays her head on Zeek's back then dozes off. Zeek decides to take the alleyways so they can avoid being seen.

After driving a couple more miles he sees the tea shop and drives behind the building like Venith instructed. After pulling in the shakes Venith telling her to get up, she wakes up then gets off the bike. "Where do we go now V?" Zeek asked while she rubbed her eyes from sleep. "Come on, follow me." Venith comes from behind the building and grabs Zeek's hand pulling him towards the tea shop. The bell above the door jingles as Venith opens it, "Miss Ming I'm back and I brought my friend with me!" Venith said a couple of moments later a woman who seemed to be in her 60's to '70s who was short and had dark hair and pale skin walked over to Vinith and touched her face. "Where were you, I've been so worried about you, you know better than to make old blind women worry." She said in her Korean accent, still feeling around Venith's face. Zeek chuckled distracting the woman from scolding Venith. "How rude of you, why haven't you introduced me to your friend yet." Venith smiled and brought Miss Ming towards Zeek and stood her in front of her. "It's nice to meet you Miss Ming you have a lovely shop." Zeek said flattering the old woman with his kind words, "Aww, why to thank you what a respectful boy, may I feel your face so I can get a good 'look' at you?" Miss Ming asked, "Of course you can," She felt around his face mumbling details under her breath. "Well I think that's enough we have had a long night and I'm pretty sure Zeek is tired from traveling so we should sleep." Miss Ming nodded her head in agreement and shooed the two away for bed.

Venith told Zeek to follow her as they made their way to the back of the shop, Venith bent down and removed a wall piece, that revealed a semi-large secret room with two beds and a full bathroom. They both took turns getting ready for bed then laid down. "Hey V," Zeek whispered. "Yeah," she whispered back "I'm glad I get to see you again." he said, "I'm glad too, good night," Zeek said good night and they both went to bed.
