Chapter 9: Road Rage

He carried the boxes to the truck with a bitter look on his face, he and they both knew that he wouldn't be alive to see her and he wasn't certain she would be too, they just put a needle in her like she was a voodoo doll and there was no way he could fight them all on his own.

The trigger kicked again and she took off her hood and smiled, she had wavy black hair and glossy dark lipstick and a beauty mark on the upper part of her right cheek.

Miladee thought she would bunk with him while the others tagged along, after the clash on the two sides and the arrest of their leader, the league forced them to start from scratch but she had enough intelligence to keep the operation going.

Mondel drove the truck down the road they set up with cones headed for the exit of LA and he sighed.

"Doing this to me won't bring Sabrina back"

"Shut up, they thought this was over when she was nailed but it starts with me and I'm tired of posing as some drug dealer"

"The jig is up, Miladee, we won"

"We? Don't make me laugh, as soon as we share this wonderful gift to the world, we'll personally turn you over to the authorities and that won't be good for your record"

She kicked his foot when it stepped on the breaks and the truck swerved left and right and the cargo shook when his leg hit the accelerator.

"Don't play with me, kill the girl" She said into a two-way radio transceiver and he lost color.

"Please stop, you won't gain anything from taking her life"

He jerked when he heard her screams and a gunshot, not one but three, he counted to five and the radio went off

"Does that sound like I care?"

She held on to the rail on the truck while he drove, it was running at full speed and she read that the exit was 32 miles from here. She watched as other cars skidded down the freeway and his hand clenched on the steering wheel and his foot pressed down on the gas pedal and the truck rumbled and smoke went up the pipes as it went like a bat out of hell along the road, she pulled up her gun realizing that he changed course and was heading towards a deadline and the road had not been bridged together, she kicked him in the face while he struggled to keep the truck going with blood on his face and his nose was out of place, his eyes dead focused on getting to that end.

"Stop the truck!"

He whiffed when a shot went off and his stomach bled and he screamed but kept fighting, he kicked the break off and there was no stopping it, he closed his eyes as the truck shook and the cargo swerved to the side from the main car and it tumbled down the edge falling over a hundred storeys down the canyon colliding with an explosion that sent purple flames in the air swallowing up oxygen, smoke spread and the ball of fire went off leaving the crater and the inferno blazing into the night sky.

He made a nasty snorting sound when Darcy laid him on the bed while blood flowed out of his mouth, Edna sobbed while the professionals put him on a stretcher with straps and a worker hooked the excess to one single band and signaled his comrade to pull him up.

"Don't die" She said with a croaky voice watching him fight for his life.

...

Some hours ago

Shadow crept in after watching them talk and slipped into the room with Edna hanging. "What the hell is that thing!"

The savant in charge of keeping an eye on the girl pulled out his gun and he heard the lady boss ask him to kill her, Edna screamed as he sent shots at Shadow while she closed in, the bullets hit the door

creating dents with sparks flying and he cowered when she outstretched her hand, running around Edna who screamed dangling around dangerously and the door jammed open when Quinn kicked it hitting the savant in the face, he was knocked out of consciousness on the floor with his gun on his hand.

Quinn seized it and he helped Edna out of her stray jacket and she fell dizzy, blood drained out of her face and she was hyperventilating when he pulled out a needle. He snapped the syringe off and asked her to open her mouth and he poured the antidote in.

She was still in shock but reached for the sneakers that were left untouched and put them on and he persuaded her to leave the room while Emma was shooting at them, she shot the lights and Darcy fought through the cluster in the darkness as they were complaining and looking everywhere in shock she came down hard on a man's throat with her foot.

"Tell me everything you know"

"The boss is planning to release the essence at the main water supply and she took the captain along with hundreds of gallons and they're headed for the exit" He confessed with a hoarse voice and his hand on her foot.

She flew down the road with speed as the henchmen were on bikes shooting sporadically and two closed in trying to crush her and she almost collapsed when one of them jabbed her on the back and both bikers flew off the sides of the road when she flared up with energy then appeared at the end where the truck was rolling and grabbed Mondel's hand teleporting to a safer distance when the explosion happened.

...

The red lights were flashing and the alarm went out when the chopper began t beeline around in the air, it stopped sharply and the staff was looking down out the door in the heavy wind currents while the propellers groaned at much friction.

"What's that supposed to be?"
