"Brian!"

Lucas approached Brian who was still accompanying Emily who was sleeping on his shoulder.

"Lucas."

"Sorry if I bothered you but, what are you going to do for now? Considering that sooner or later this incident will happen again, and you are still their target there!"

Brian was silent, even until he saw Emily..

"For now, I can't leave her. I feel like Emily wants to tell me something. But..."

Seeing brian who was so worried.. it made lucas smile.

"How about this. For now, you and Emily live where I used to be. I'm sure Emily doesn't really mind as long as you can be with her."

"I didn't think that they would want to escort us. Are you two okay there?" Lucas teased.

"Don't ask it's okay, you know! Emily is still scared and doesn't want to let go of her grip" he complained.

"Sorry if you got offended like that, stiff prince!"

Although Lucas sometimes wants to have fun, he even looks at Emily in the rearview mirror while heaving heavily because of her fear-like state. What's more..

(Emily has been through terrible things for 10 years. It's only natural that she is still afraid of riding in cars, just as you are worried, Damien.) he thought.

"So, where do you actually want to take us? You still haven't told us about your destination," said Brian.

Emily who was still scared even had to hold Brian's hand. Unfortunately, it makes it a little difficult for him to talk to Lucas.

"Calm down, where I used to be is still good. Moreover, I have also told there so that they prepare everything," said Lucas who was still laughing

"prepare, you say?" wonder

(You probably don't remember at all. That the place we're going to is one of the most treasured treasures I still hold on to. Memories that give us a reason to live.)

In the middle of his jokes.. Lucas even answered his phone calls through the earphone that was attached to the ear on his left. And suddenly, his expression turned serious.

"Looks like our chances are running low, huh!" he muttered.

"Lucas!"

However..

"Brian. You better hold Emily firmly. There will be a terrible welcome starting to approach us"

"what do you.. "

Unfortunately, Brian is also aware of the strangeness that happened. Because there were several groups of motorcyclists carrying weapons, traveling at high speed and wanting to approach them. Even some of the police who were escorting them fell one by one.

"They seem to have been shot from behind us!"

Worse yet, Lucas was not afraid, he even changed the steering wheel like starting a racing car.

"WELCOME TO MY PARTY!"

Instantly lucas began to step on the gas and speed up the car. Duel between cars and motorcycle groups can not be avoided.

And like it or not, Brian obeyed Lucas' words and he tried to protect Emily.

Even so, Emily didn't think that Brian would have to hug her while trying to grab the seat belt beside him.
