Chapter 1: Side by Side
"Hey," came a voice, the owner nowhere in sight, "I've been looking for you."
A young man stepped out from the clouds of dust surrounding the area.
"Who are you?" questioned the other man carrying a limp young woman.
"Are you going to kill us?"
"No. I've come to help you escape."
"Why would you want to help me I'm the Bl-"
"I know who you are that's why. We share the same dream, you and I, we both wish that one day contractors and humans can live side by side. I know a place where that is possible, so come with me, Hei."
"But what about Yin."
"Oh her, she's still alive, but I must hand it to ya, you were able to stop the awakening and get the girl and I thought happy endings only happened in Animes." The man chuckled. "Come, I know a secret way out of here. We can talk more on the plane."
"Plane, what plane?"
"My plane of course, I'm an ex-fighter pilot from America."
"I guess I have no other choice." Hei sighed.
Hei followed the man named Dean who wore jeans and an aviator jacket. The night approached them quickly and the cold surrounded them.
"Here, cover her up with this she'll her hypothermic." Dean said handing Hei a blanket. "Now come on we should get out of here fast before people start snooping around and putting their noses where they don't belong."
Dean led Hei down streets, alleys and tunnels until they were out of Hell's gate. How did he know how to maneuver through the gate, Hei wondered. Outside the gate, Dean had a pickup truck parked with two wooden crates in the back.
"Ok Hei, here's the plan to smuggle you into America. As you can see I have two crates that you and her will be hiding in. I don't want anyone to see you scince you're still wanted and their probably looking for you and your girl. Once we are in mid-flight I'll give you the 'OK' and you can get out of the crate. I will also be giving you fake passports and US citizenship documentation. After we cross the Pacific we will land at LAX to refuel and then it's of to Philadelphia where you will be able to live in my community in the suburbs of contractors and humans. Sound like a good plan?" Dean whispered.
"You're the plan man, so you're the one calling the shots."
"Hei?" was heard softly.
