Chapter 2

"Time to get up bud." Light flooded my room and I yelled out in protest. I hated when Uncle Jack got me up in the mornings. He was nothing like my father had been. Don't get me wrong, I love Uncle Jack, but he could at least give me a heads up before I'm blinded. I hear him leave my room and I pull the pillow over my head.

"Jess, did you hear me?" He calls from the living room. I groan loud enough for him to hear and swing ly legs off the top of my bunk bed. (Usually I sleep on the bottom, but I had ended up climbing to the top when I saw a cockroach crawl across my floor.) I jumped off the bunk and landed with a thud on the ground. I walked over to the bathroom and turned on the shower before stepping in. It felt amazing to let the warm water wash over me. We only got hot water in the mornings so I would hurry and take my showers when I got up. I scrubbed my face and my arms with soap and rinsed my hair. I turned the water off and dried before going to pick out my clothes. I pulled out my black skinny jeans, black knee-high converse, a purple tank top and my lime green sweat shirt. I pulled my long blonde hair into a ponytail and walked into the kitchen where Uncle Jack was watching TV.

"Good morning!" I shouted and laughed when Uncle Jack about jumped out of his seat. He turned the TV off and walked over to me. He pulled me into a hug and placed a kiss on the top of my head. While I wrapped my arms around him I also grabbed the taxi ID out of his pocket. I stepped back and held it up for him to see. He looked at it in confusion and reached back to check his pocket only to find his gone.

"Still pick-pocketing, I see?" he pointed out. I laughed and opened it up.

"You have to admit that I'm getting better at it." I told him. I've always been good at sneaking things around. I've never admitted it, but I've pick-pocketed some people before.

"Taxi number 227 in parking lot 3? Sounds easy enough." I said sarcastically. Uncle Jack let out a "Very Funny" laugh and opened the door for me. I handed him back the Taxi ID when I passed him on my way out. We hopped into the taxi we drove last night and took off. It was only about a five minute drive to the taxi parking lot. We parked the taxi we had in its spot and then looked around for our new taxi. After about three minutes we found it. He got in and opened the door to the passenger seat so I could hop in. We started to pull out when a black SUV pulled in front of us. Jack had to slam on the brakes and I grabbed the head board to keep myself form slamming into it. Uncle Jack honked at them, but they didn't move the car. Two men in suits got out and came towards the taxi which freaked me out. I frantically looked at Uncle Jack for answers.

"Stay in the car." He ordered. I nodded and he got out. I was curious so I rolled down my window a bit.

"Jack, don't return phone calls anymore?" one of the men said. Both of the men were built and that made me scared for Jack. I just hoped he hadn't have done anything bad.

"Mr. Wolf thinks you're being rude." The other man said. He was wearing a grey suit and the other man on the right was wearing a tan suit.

"Well tell wolf when I said it was the last time, I meant it." Jack said. Jack tried to turn away and come back to the car, but the guys stopped him.

"Mr. Wolf decides when it's the last time. Not you Jack." The man in the grey suit said sternly.

"He likes you, Jackie. Hates to see you wasting your God-given talent driving around town giving tours and cab rides. It must be real boring for you especially with that…extra baggage." The guy in the grey suit said as he nodded his head towards me. I gulped and slide down in my seat trying to become hidden. I was just praying Jack came back to the car. Uncle Jack looked back at me and that's when I knew was going to do something stupid. In seconds he had elbowed both men and pinned them against the SUV.

"Got a death wish?" The one in the black suit threatened. Jack gave a crud laugh and bent down over them.

"I drive a cab in Vegas." He said. I smiled as he climbed back into the cab and winked at me. A cop got the car out of our way and I felt relief as we pulled out left those creep behind. I guess I should tell you one important thing about me. My parents worked for a secret agency, but my father and mother quit. It turns out that if they quit they had to swear to secrecy… they didn't. A month later they were killed by snipers or that's what I was told. I've only encountered the agency two more times, including now. Anyway, we drove in silence for a few moments. I reached down into my pocket and grabbed a pack of gum.

"Want some?" I asked. Uncle Jack shook his head and I shrugged, popping a piece into my mouth. I dug through my bag and grabbed my makeup bag. I may be a tom-boy, but I would die without my mascara. I blew a bubble as I looked into the rear-view mirror. I went to put my mascara on when my eyes met the stare of bright blue ones. My bubble popped and took it into my mouth as I slowly turned around.

"Um, Jack?" I said and poked him in the side. He ignored me as I continued to stare at the two kids. One was a girl who looked to be around my age. She had blonde hair like mine and blue eyes…the same color as mine. The person next to her was a boy that looked about a year older than me. He had blonde hair and blue eyes too. I'm guessing they must be brother and sister.

"Uncle Jack?!" I exclaimed and poked him harder. He groaned and looked in the rear view mirror before slamming on the brakes. I grab onto my seat and manage to keep myself steady.

"Where did you come from?" Uncle Jack asks. I think we're both still shocked at the sudden appearance of random teens. The boy look from Jack to me like we're dumb.

"O-Outside." He says. I raise my eyebrow at him. He has to be older than me so there is no way he's that dumb.

"No dip, Sherlock. He meant how did you get in?" I said. The boy throws me a glare and there is a moment of awkward silence before the girl answers.

"Through that portal." She points towards the cab door. I roll my eyes again and sigh. Not her too!

"I'm Seth and this is my sister Sara. We require your transportation services immediately." The boy Seth introduced. Uncle Jack and I share a look before turning back to them.

"Really? Well I require…" Jack starts before the girl, Sara, interrupts.

"Currency transaction." Sara states. Seth reaches into his bag and holds out a huge wad of cash. I mean they have to have at least five thousand dollars.

"Will this amount suffice?" He asks. I looked at Jack and then back at the siblings.

"Did you two rob a bank?" Jack asks in disbelief. Sara looked at me and then Jack.

"Is this acceptable, Jack Bruno?" She asks.

"How'd you know my name?" Jack asks. Sara points towards his name tag and I can't help but snicker.

"Yes that's acceptable." I assure them. Sara smiles and Seth places the money back into his pack.

"If we have a deal for your services we must move forward rapidly. It's urgent we get to our destination without delay." He states while pretty much glaring at Jack.

"Not until you say please." I tell him with a serious face. He looks at me and looks at me like I'm crazy, but I don't give in. He sighs and glares at me before setting his jaw.

"Please." He says. I smile at him even though he looks like he could rip my head off and turn around. Jack starts the car and we head down the road.

"So where are you headed?" Jack asks.

"We must travel in that direction." Sara points toward North East.

"I need more than just, that direction." Jack tells her. Seth pulls out the weirdest machine I have ever seen and punches some buttons.

"We must travel to latitude 40.4 cross intersecting longitude…" My head is spinning by the time I wave my hand in front of his face to get his attention.

"Let's just stick with that direction." I say with a smile. He glares at me and I start to think it's the only expression he can make. I look over at Sara and decide to at least be polite to her. I hold out my hand for her to shake and introduce myself.

"Hi, I'm Jessica. You can call me Jess for short." Sara smiles at me, but looks at my hand confusingly. I laugh and reach out for her hand. I interlock our hands and shook her hand up and down.

"It's nice to meet you." I say. I decide to give Seth one more try and turn to Seth who is still glaring at me. I stick out my hand, but he doesn't take it. I roll my eyes at his childish behavior and turn back around. I decided to go ahead and finish putting my mascara on.

"Do your parents know your spending this much money?" Jack asks breaking the silence.

"We have previously agreed on our financial deal. If your concern is regarding your compensation…" Seth started. Oh not the whole we are high geniuses and stupid blondes too.

"My concern is that I have a couple of kids in the back of my cab, with a big wad of cash and a drop off location that's in the middle of nowhere. Now in my book that's a little something called running away." Jack explains with sarcasm. I cover my mouth to try and keep from laughing at Seth's expression. He definitely wasn't expecting Uncle Jack to say that.

"Jack, you better be getting desert miles on that fare and they better be able to pay and you better get me an ETA!" A voice shouted through the intercom. I groaned because I would know that voice anywhere. Before Jack could answer I grabbed the intercom and answered myself.

"Hey Dom, how's it going?" I asked in an innocent voice.

"Jess, this isn't funny! Get Jack on the phone." He shouted. His mouth was obviously full of something.

"We're losing….reception…Dominic." I said and made a bunch of cracking noises.

"Jess…..Jess…Come on Jess!" Dominic shouted, but I hung up anyway.

"Smooth." Jack said giving my shoulder a shove. I shoved him right back and smirked.

"I hate him anyway." I said. Jack laughed. After a while I turned on the radio. Call me maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen came on. I blew another bubble and it popped all over my nose. I laughed and pulled it back into my mouth. I turned back to Seth and Sara, holding out the gum package.

"Want some? You just chew it." Sara nodded and took a piece into her mouth. She blew a bubble and giggled. I laughed and turned towards Seth.

"Want some?" He shook his head.

"I do not wish to consume in childish matters." I glare at him and my nails dig into the seat.

"Well it just so happens that you're acting like a child!" I said and raised my voice a bit. By then Sara was just staring at my hands. I followed her gaze down and saw that the part of the seat I was holding onto was completely crushed. I cleared my throat and slowly moved my hands away. I turned around and shrunk into my seat trying to become invisible. Ever since I was a child I had been able to slip through things or take hits from bullies. It was weird and I didn't like it all that much. I never told anyone about it, not even Uncle Jack.

"Jack Bruno it appears that the vehicles behind us are indicating a pattern of pursuit." I looked in the rear view mirror, but didn't see any cars.

"There are no vehicles…" Jack was cut off when he saw four black SUV's come into view. My eyes widened and I turned back to Jack. He looked at me.

"Maybe you should climb in back." I frantically nodded and unbuckled. Seth and Sara moved over so I got the middle seat right next to Seth…Great! -_-

"Jack Bruno, if we continue with our current speed verses theirs they will overtake us." Seth stated. I looked back at the cars and saw that they were gaining.

"Calm down, I'm just going to let them pass." My eyes widened.

"Jack!" I whimpered. He looked back at me and smiled.

"Don't worry." I nodded, but couldn't help, but think about my parents. Sara reached over and grabbed my hand.

"Do not worry Jess. I will not let you be harmed." I gave her a weak smile. The black vehicles started to pass and I shifted in my seat when one stayed by us longer then needed. I swear it was like they were watching us. Seth, Sara and I all stared out the window at them before they moved up to jacks window and then moved on. Jack laughed and turned back to look at us.

"See? I'm king of these roads…" I looked forward.

"Uncle Jack, look out!" I yelled as one of the cars swerved blocking our way. Jack hit the brake and we shot forward. I screamed as we were jostled around and felt an arm wrap around my waist and keep me steady. I turned to Seth who nodded to me and I gave him a thankful smile. I turned my attention to the cars behind us.

"Who is Mr. Wolf, Jack Bruno?" Sara asked. The car behind us hit our tail and sent all of us lurching forward.

"Get down, now!" Jack shouted as he tried to control the car. I put my head between my knees as we got boxed in. Jack swerved in every direction trying to hit his way out.

"Hold on!" He shouted. Sara and Seth gripped the seat in front of them. I looked around and panicked when I saw there was nothing for me to hold onto. I prayed to the lord and wrapped my arms around Seth at the last minute. Jack hit the brakes and rammed into the car behind us causing it to swerve out of the way. He rammed the car in front next which caused it to go off road giving us a chance. Uncle Jack hit the gas and we shot forward out from between the cars. I still had my arms wrapped around Seth and looked up to see him smirking down at me. So he can make another expression. I unwrapped my arms and snuck a peak behind us to find that the black SUV's were still there.

"It seems we have not eluded them." Sara stated. Jack hit the wheel in frustration.

"I am so over this. Stay down. Stay down!" He yelled at us. I ducked back down and had my arms ready in case I had to grab hold of Seth again.

"No, it's not a good idea. It's too dangerous." Sara whispered looking at Seth.

"I have to try." Seth told her. I gave him a concerned look. What were they talking about? Seth looked at me and held my gaze before looking over at the seat and…slipping through the seat?! I gasped and looked out the back of the car. Sure enough he was there standing in the middle of the road as he faced the oncoming SUV. I clamped a hand over my mouth to muffle a scream as the car didn't even attempt to stop. It rammed straight into him and I watched in awe as the car flipped and landed a few feet from Seth, who was completely unharmed. I turned to Sara and watched as her arm shot forward. The car lurched to a stop and with the flick of her wrist the car flew backwards towards Seth. Sara opened her fist and the car stopped right in front of the crashed SUV.

"You guys alright?" Jack asked. I slowly nodded and looked towards Sara for answers.

"We are fine." She said hesitantly. I felt something touch my shoulder and turned to see Seth. I let out a breath I didn't notice I had been holding.

"We should just…..keep….moving." Seth stated breathing hard. Jack unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. Once he was out I looked to Seth.

"What the hell happened back there?" I whispered. He gave Sara a concerning look and then was about to say something when Jack got back in the car. I gave both of them a "We will talk later" look before turning to Jack.

"What was that about?" I ask.

"Making sure I got my message across." He said. I nod and lean back into the seat as we continue down the road as if nothing happened. I let out a yawn (hard to believe I'm tired after that.) and slide my head to the side until I'm leaning on Seth's shoulder.

"Get some sleep Jessica Bruno, it will take a while to arrive at our destination." Sara said and I nodded before closing my eyes.
