Serenity ran from her house at point blank speed. 'I can't let them catch
me!' she thought as she ran from the police. 'Why did this have to happen
to me?' she cried to herself as she ran. She noticed that after a few
blocks they weren't casing her anymore.or she simply out ran them.but they
would still be looking for her. She knew she had to be careful.she also
knew she couldn't go to any of her friends. She knew they would help her
but they would be waiting for her there.at all of there houses. She turned
in to a dark alley and collapsed behind a dumpster. 'This will work as a
hiding place until morning then I'll find a better place in the morning,'
she told herself as she drifted of to sleep.
Jarod was walking away from his last pretend as he saw Centre sweepers pull up and file out of several cars. He noticed that there was an alley off to his right he quickly ducked into they alley as he came up to it and ran behind the dumpster that was there. When he arrived there he practically tripped over a sleeping woman. He looked her over for any injuries and finally realized that she was just sleeping. He let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding. He took a quick look to see if the sweepers where still out there to see him move to his car with the woman. All of the sweepers were still searching the building for him. He then quickly decided that he would take the risk so he could get the girl to some kind of shelter before she got sick. He gently picked her up (princess style) and silently carried her over the car that he had waiting for him. He laid her down in the back seat. Just as he was getting into the driver's side of the car he heard someone call his name.
Miss Parker just exited the building cursing under her breath about how she had just missed him again. She then looked to her right and grinned. "Jarod!" she yelled as she began to run over to where he was. She noticed that he was not grinning and that he was giving her a stern look that said 'don't-even-think-about-trying-this-time-parker'. When she saw that glare she stopped in the middle of her tracks and as he pilled out.
Jarod had just arrived at his hide out when his phone rang. "This is Jarod," he replied. "I'm sorry but I can't I'm leaving town...a runaway? All right what's the description?" Jarod asked. As the other person on the phone began to describe the missing girl, he looked back at the girl in his back seat. "I'll keep a look out for her, and I'll call if I find her," Jarod replied as he hung up the phone. Jarod quietly carried the girl from the car to his hide out until she woke up.
Jarod was lost in his thoughts. He didn't notice that the girl had woken up and was trying to decide if she should make a run for it or not. 'Why would she run away from the people who cared about her?' Jarod kept asking himself. He jumped a mile high when he heard the door open he quickly grabbed his gun, and then turned around.his eyes widened in surprise when he saw who it was.
When Serenity heard a clicking noise behind her she turned around and found that she had scared the guy that looked like he was way into his computer to even notice that she had tried to talk to him. "Why are you trying to leave?" he asked her. "Why are you pointing a gun at me?" she asked back. "Why are you answering in questions?" he asked. "Why are you?" she asked back. "Good point," he said as he lowered the gun. "I thought you were someone else.my name is Jarod. Why are you leaving?" Jarod asked. "Well since you weren't answering me I thought maybe you didn't want to talk to me or want me here, so I was going to leave...and I would've if you would oil this thing every once and a while!" Serenity yelled at him. "Oh, and by the way my name is Serenity," she added.
Jarod stood there is shock no one had ever talked to him that way. "What are you staring at?" Serenity asked. Jarod shook his head as if clearing something out of his head. "Why did you run away?" Jarod asked. She looked at him weird...then she sighed. "I didn't run away...they kicked me out...or you could say they sold me to some place that has no soul!" she replied. Jarod froze when she said the last part. "What was the name of the place that you were sold to?" Jarod asked. Serenity gave him a weird look.
Serenity watched Jarod and saw the he was tense and he was being serious. "The Centre." she told him. His face then went cold he asked, "Why would your parents sell you to the centre?" Serenity looked at him.she was terrified...she couldn't tell him if she did then he would keep her for himself. She inched to the open door.then she turned and ran out the door she got to outside of the building before Jarod grabbed her and forced her back inside the building and back into the room.
Jarod saw the terror in her eyes...he noticed that she had started inching toward the door so he also started to inch toward her. And then she turned and ran out the door. Jarod having already expected her to run took off after her. He caught up with her right after she had opened the door to the street. He then grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back into the building and dragged her back into the room.
He threw her on the couch and sat on top of her and held her hands above her head and he told her, "I'm not going to hurt you! I only want to help you! But I can't do that unless you are honest with me!" "If I was honest with you.you would just use me like they were planning to use me! And just like everyone else would use me! Like the way my so called adopted parents used me until they got a better deal!" Serenity yelled back at him. Jarod sat there staring into her flaming eyes. "I could never use anyone like that in anyway. Is there some place I could take you that they wouldn't be able to get you?" Jarod asked. "No, not on this planet," Serenity answered in almost a whisper. "I could return home but I would be so lonely." Serenity whispered to low for anyone to hear. "Fine, then you'll just have to come with me," Jarod replied as he got off of her. "No, I won't go w-" Serenity started. "You want the other choice? Where the centre will run the rest of you're life?" Jarod replied. Serenity then looked at the floor and whispered, "No." "Then I see that you have no other choice," Jarod replied as he threw a bag at her. She caught right before it would've hit her. Jarod noticed that 'She has good reflexes.I'll need to remember that.' he told himself.
"Why did you throw this at me?" Serenity asked him. "Because if you want to get out of here before the rest of the police and sweepers get here I suggest that you help me pack what little I do have," Jarod replied. "Fine, but where are we going?" Serenity asked. "Out of here," Jarod replied. "Just out of here? You don't know where we're going to go?" Serenity demanded. Jarod turned around and said, "Right now we just need to get out of town before the centre finds us.once were out of town we'll decide where we are going to go ok?" Jarod asked. "Yes that's fine," Serenity replied.
