Sawyer looked up from behind the wheel of his car. What was taking this guy so damn long? He knew that the man he was looking for has an appointment in the building ahead of him at 11 p.m. He checked his clock, he should be here any minute. After waiting for a few more minutes he finally sees the Korean approaching. Sawyer opens the car window and beckons to the approaching man. He cautiously walks up to the car to give the man that is calling him a closer look. He couldn't make out the man behind the steering wheel, but then he said:
"Good evening, Enis."
Right after Miles heard those 3 little words he knew it had to be the southerner again and he quickly walks away. But the blonde man didn't give up so quickly and calls out to him.
"Miles!"
Miles stops at this thinking that it had to be important if he is using his real name so he stops and turned back to the car. Once he is close Sawyer leans over and opens the passenger door. Miles gets in and without saying another thing Sawyer gives Miles a file with photographs, and Miles flips through it. He looks at one photo intensely, and hands it back.
'So, you got her then?' Miles asked.
'Yep, I think that…. '
Sawyer stopped talking because he saw something approaching in the corner of his eyes and looked to his side to check the left rear view mirror.
'Sonofabitch!' Sawyer cried out right before he felt the impact of the crash. He was thrown violently around the car and hit his head hard against the front window. When the car finally came to a stop he felt blood run down his cheek and everything hurt. He quickly searched for Miles and found him sitting still in the passenger's seat with his head down. Sawyer checked if he was OK but figured he was dead because he couldn't find a pulse. What the hell happened ? Looking out the window he saw the car that had hit his car. It was a blue Dodge sedan and from the looks of it, it must have been a rear-end collision. He then heard sirens and saw a police car pull up behind the sedan. At the same time he saw someone get out of the car and ran away.
What the fuck does that guy think he is doing?! He got out of the car as quickly as he can and ran after the person that crashed into his car. He heard voices behind him calling them to stop but he kept on running. Was he in a freaking COPS episode?! The person he was chasing ran down an alley and Sawyer tried his best to catch up. He was going to take care of this by himself. It was dark outside so he couldn't see the person clearly but he was wearing a black jacket and a gray hood pulled over his head. The person he was chasing was obviously chased by the police and accidently crashed into his car. But that was not his problem. He was going to make that person pay, he just had his car fixed and by the looks of it this was going to be an expensive joke.
The fugitive slowed down because he ran into a stack of boxes and Sawyer took this opportunity to catch up. He grabbed the person by the collar and pushed the person up against a doorway. Right when he thought the person was very light-weighted for a man the hood came down and he was met by a pair of amazing green eyes looking right up at him. He certainly didn't expect the person to be a woman and especially not as beautiful as she was. Her brown curls cascaded down her face and she had a wild look in her eyes.
For a minute Kate forgot everything around her as she met her pursuers deep emerald eyes. She knew someone was chasing her but she assumed it was a cop. But when she looked into his eyes she recognizes him. It was that guy that was in the elevator with her at LAX.
Suddenly she became very aware of the way he still pinned her at the door with his body. She could see he was connecting the dots too. She felt his breath close to her ear but erased the effect it had on her in her eyes. But this didn't go unnoticed by Sawyer. He came back down to earth as he heard voices and looked to his left. Kate took this opportunity to head butt him because he was still holding her down and the cops where catching up to her. She didn't know what his intentions were although she remembered he had helped her in the elevator.
Sawyer crouched down from the effects of the blow and while wincing he stumbled after her down the alley. He looked to his left and saw the cops coming closer. It wasn't the smartest idea for Sawyer to stay behind in the alley since the cops probably had seen the pictures he had showed to Miles. And the fact that there was a 9 mm in the dashboard also wasn't coming in handy right know, to say the least. He looked to his right an noticed the girl was almost at the end of the alley and he decided to catch up with her the second time that night. He grabs her by the arm, a little more violently than needed.
"Jesus, woman. If you wanted to play rough, all you had to do was say so." He said gritting his teeth. She kept running while he said it but she turned her head around and a small smile formed on Kate's lips.
Sawyer was surprised to see her reaction but didn't had time to think it over because they arrived the end of the alley. He looked behind him and saw that the cops weren't as close as he thought they were. At the end of the alley there was a street that looked exactly like the street were the car crash took place. He ran towards an old black BMW that couldn't be seen by the running cops in the alley and smashed the window on the backseat. Kate got what he was doing and as Sawyer gallantly opened the door for her with a sweet smile just like he had done in the elevator she rolled her eyes at him as if she was annoyed but couldn't help smiling a little at his attitude.
They were lucky that the police didn't see the old BMW drive away. When they pulled up and were almost at the end of the street they saw the cops searching for them in the rear-view mirror but luckily it was too crowded in the street to see where they went so they were still searching the street. Sawyer checked on the girl again to see if she had any thoughts about where they were going but she had her gaze fixed on the group of cops behind them.
He didn't had a clue where he was driving. He decided that it wasn't a clever idea to go to his apartment in LA because maybe Miles survived and could tell the cops who he was. But he realized it doesn't matter because he was probably screwed anyway, thinking of all the evidences he left in his car.
And now that he had helped a fugitive escape he probably was even more screwed. He looked at the girl and wondered what she had done that bad since there was a whole group of police officers chasing her. She didn't look like a criminal but you never know.
He didn't know what had gotten into him helping a fugitive escape. But it was mostly to save his own ass. Since he boarded the plane back to the States he was trying to do his best to keep away from the police because of what he had done in Sydney. It is always better to let sleeping dogs lie and THAT was the reason why he stole the car, he convinced by himself. But he had only worked his ass in more trouble. They were probably searching for her everywhere and it was just a matter of time before the cops were getting on to him too. And if they did , he had a major problem, seeing they probably connected the dots and send him to jail for murder.
He looked over to his right and saw that she had falling asleep and he couldn't stop looking at her face. The same face that had a haunted look just minutes ago while they were being chased looked so peacefully asleep now.
