So I'm back with a new story lol. Is set season 5, and based slightly on certain set reports, but its unlikely ill get things spot on, but just warning you to be safe hehe. So hope you enjoy and please tell me what you think ;)...
Today was like any other, she would go fill up the car with gas, then head home and put the newly bought groceries away. Her silver Volvo was pulling out of the gas station, she spots the black jeep that she is sure has been following her. She carries on her route as normal, checking back occasionally.
The black jeep was discreetly following her. Two cars behind, as she nears the lights, they are changing to red she speeds up. She passes the lights before they change, the car behind her stopping, leaving the black jeep stuck behind them. She uses this opportunity to get away; she takes the right, but suddenly hears screeching, and the black jeep jumping the light. She speeds up again, trying her hardest to get away; they must know her house, so it probably is not safe there, as she turns the next corner, she comes to a stop, another car is in her way. She tries to reverse, and move around, but she is at loss, the jeep still at a distance, she decides to step out, not before locking the car, after taking one last glance at her son. She would die before any harm came to him.
She sees a figure jump out of the car that had gotten in her way, they are racing towards her, and she is shocked by what she sees, more so who.
Frozen in her steps, she barley acknowledges being pulled into the car. As the door closes, she comes to her senses. Her son! She yells at the figure who had hauled her into the car, he turns sharply and looks at her before jumping out and racing towards her car, after she had yelled that it was locked, and the man had failed to get into the car, he turns to her, then looking at the direction of the jeep chasing towards him.
Four shots ring out, followed by a crash. First he had took out the two front tires of the on coming jeep, and then shot the front screen aiming for the driver. He then smashed the passenger window, and before she knew what was happening, the car was setting off, and she could hear the crying of her son. Two more shots are heard, the window smashes behind her she ducks for cover, as she takes a glance behind her, and she sees a man limping out of the car. He raises the gun again, and she dives down once more. Two more shots ring out, but the car was quick and had already turned the corner. It seems as though she has escaped the black jeep, but is now in the hands of someone else. It all comes to her now, and she straightens up, demanding for her son. She gets him handed to her from the passenger side, she is once again shocked, and she shakes her head, and cradles her son. There is a long silence before anyone speaks; once her son had calmed down she decides to get answers.
"What on earth is going on?" She demands from either of the men, the dark figure in the passenger seat turns to her ever so slightly, he seems injured, but gives her his attention none the less.
"You were being followed, we had to intervene before they got to you, otherwise, it would have been very costly."
"I realize I was being followed, but how, how do you know, and how were you there waiting, ready to throw me into this car?" She asks a little less demanding, a little more curious now.
"We've been tracking your car. We were able to locate you, and gathered from your speed, you were being chased, we took a guess from the way you were heading, and hoped for the best that you had a good enough lead on the guy, so we could get you both quickly."
"You've been tracking my car! What else have you been doing?" This time there is no doubt about her intentions, she demands an answer.
"We have only been tracking your car and your movements once you leave your house. They are closing in on us; they can't get the answers they seek, so they now seek to take us out instead."
"So what, just get rid of the whole thing all together, and pretend like none of this happened?"
"Basically, yes." He lets out a breath, and clutches his side, she now realizes he is in some pain, she realizes the danger she is in, and what could have happened to her, or her son.
"You okay?" She asks sincerely.
He just nods, and rests his head back. She now looks at the driver, a little smile spreads across her face, she never would have expected to in this situation, but she never would have guessed.
"And since when can you shoot a gun?" she asks a slightly impressed, and surprised.
The driver chuckles and takes a glance in his mirror.
"Nice to see you too Kate; and you're welcome by the way. For me saving, your butt back there."
She laughs a little herself he could always manage to make her smile in any situation.
Kate: "Nice to see you too Hurley; so you didn't answer my question, and whilst we're on it, where did you learn to drive like this too?" Still not quite believing all this is happening.
Hurley: "Well, I learn from the best." He looks to his friend next to him, and smiles slightly.
Hurley: "With Sayid injured, and these people coming after us, we all have to be able to hold our own; I couldn't be the guy that hid out of the way anymore. And well, I've always been pretty good at driving."
Kate nods, as she takes a breath, and looks behind her, at the smashed glass. It looks as though there was no going back.
Kate: "We're gonna have to ditch this car soon."
She was not going to be the one hiding out the way either, but without putting her son in danger, she has to do something of use, and with her years on the run, her quick thinking comes into play.
Sayid: "Yes I know we have a back up car parked in a garage near by. We're heading there right now."
She was taken back by that slightly; she had thought she was helping now she felt a little useless. She just straightened up shook off the feeling, and decided to ask more questions, the more she knew, the more she would be of more use.
Kate: "So where are we headed, after we get the new car. I'm guessing you got some hide out right?"
Hurley: "Ben's got a place. It's a five bedroom house, so there's plenty of room for all of us."
Kate: "Ben! So you both work for Ben, and who's all of us, who else has Ben worked his charm on."
She asks annoyed, she had never trusted Ben. She had been surprised when he had told them to leave, the day they had gotten on the chopper that it actually happened.
Hurley: "Come on Kate, you gotta see what's happening here. Ben is the good guy, those guys who were chasing you; they would have just killed you and Aaron you know. We've seen it before, those guys… it's all just business to them."
Kate: "What, what do you mean you've seen it… have they… Have they killed anyone we know?" She asks, hesitantly, praying for her fears not to be true, she had not heard from him in so long, what if they had gotten to him. Sensing her fear Hurley speaks quickly.
Hurley: "No one we know Kate, just someone who was asking too many questions, but they are bad people Kate, you gotta see that."
Kate: "Yeah, I see that Hurley, the guy nearly took my head off, I would- I'm guessing I would be dead right now if it weren't for you two. Or, still trying to get away, only to be found and killed later on. So thanks again."
Hurley smiles, Kate holds Aaron closer, leaving the question for the time being, as they near some garages. The car coming to a stop, Hurley gets out, the garage door opening and out he drives a silver sedan. She steps out of the car with Aaron and makes her way over to the sedan. As she is about to step in the new car she sees Sayid stepping out the old car with a screwdriver. She pauses a moment and watches him with curiosity. Although she has an idea of what he is about to do, as he crouches down in front of the car.
He begins to take the front registration plate off, once done he makes his way around the back and does the same.
Kate: "What's the point of taking the plates off, when our prints are all over the car anyway?" She shouts over to him. He does not say anything but then makes his way over to her and pops the trunk of the sedan. He must place the number plates in there, but as he walks by her, she sees he is carrying something. He holds it up slightly.
Sayid: "That's what this is for."
He begins to pure the gasoline can over the seats in the car, then over the outside of it.
Kate: "You're not setting that thing alight. Not whilst Aaron is here, you can wait till me and Hurley drive down to the corner."
Sayid looks over to her, a box of matches in hand, he sees Aaron in her arms. He nods slowly. Kate nods at him, then climbs in the back of the car. Hurley follows promptly.
They then drive past Sayid and head out of the garages, to the now meeting point.
Sayid walks a distance away and throws the match in the back seats. The car goes up in flames. He starts a slight jog, whilst holding his side. He leaves the garages. Once in the car, they hear a bang, they drive off.
So thats that. If you want more let me know, the next chapter will be up shortly thanks for reading :) Lauren x
