Chapter three

Lincoln had been driving for twenty minutes. His arm out the driver side window of Katt's 'baby', the radio was playing some kind of tune hit. His eyes were focused to the road he was glad the sun was in the west and it was driving South-East. His mind kept running over a million thoughts in his head but they all left his head when he went over a bump in the old almost one lane gravel road. "Ow!" Came from the back seat and Lincoln slammed on the breaks quickly. Emma rolled forward getting stuck between the small space in between the driver and passenger seats and the beat seat. "AHH!" She screamed not opening her eyes yet.

"Michael! What the hell!" Katt was being pulled by her wrist behind Michael. She was angry as hell and was going to hurt Fernando Sucre the next time she saw him - Because she knew she would if she had to check every house everywhere in the world. "Shh!" Michael said fingers wrapped tighter around her wrist dragging her. Fernando was waiting by his bike against a tree waiting.
"Oh you little shit I am going to give you a piece of my mind!" Katt pushed herself away from Michael as she stormed towards Fernando holding his hands up in protest.
"Michael's Idea!" he pointed looking terrified of Katt, but Katt now snapped turning to Face him now.
"What!" her voice a growl, and Michael was holding his hands up at well glancing to Fernando.
"Adios Amigos…?" Michael laughed while Fernando straightened his hat with a laughed.
"You wanted it to be believable." Fernando was glancing to Katt who was still glaring at them both.
"So, you two didn't involve me because?" she snapped trying to figure out who to smack first.
Michael now raising a hand in the air, his eyes catching Katt's looking to her with a sigh. "Well, I thought it was better to not tell you, co I thought the less you know…"
Fernando laughed, "The more fun it would be to see your face!" Fernando now pointed to Katt as she charged at him slapping him all over.

"You stupid, dumb, retarded, mental Latino….!" she growled while her hits got softer.

Emma rubbed her head getting up from the foot space of the back seat; she sat up rubbing her head, "What the hell is going on?" Emma watching Lincoln staring at her.
"What are you doing here?" He asked trying to not stare too deep into her eyes, her face with cresses of the stitch work of the back seat marking her face.

"I asked first!" Emma snapped while slapping the back of Lincoln's seat jolting him forward.

"L.J, my son is being released from prison in Arizona." He replied rubbing the back of his head carefully. "Why are you here?" He asked more careful while Emma swallowed a lump in her throat.

"I was upset, I kinda feel asleep…" Emma stared to the road he had pulled over on, it looked like a highway, but Emma kept glancing around panicked.

"Drive me back…." She finally snapped slapping the back of Lincoln's seat.
"I can't drive you back! I need to be in Arizona by tonight!" Lincoln's neck was kinking from being turned at such an angle. But he ignored the twinges.
Emma's eyes grew dark looking at Lincoln's forehead. Never his eyes she was careful about that. Those eyes ... Of intense green ... Would probably break her she shook her head see. She didn't even have to look anymore. "Lincoln!" She snapped. "I'm sorry!" He said finally moving his head for a moment it hurt as it had pleasure released and it cracked. He looked back. "I'm walking let me out!" Emma went to open the back door but it was locked she went to unlock it but it was stuck. She moved over trying the other door it didn't move either. "Oh yeah... I should tell you; it's a repainted police car... No opening from the inside, but the window goes down a forth; wanna try slipping through?" Lincoln questioned. Emma hissed. "I HATE YOU!" She screamed not meaning any of it. "What do you want me to do?! IT'S A CAR NOT A TARDIS!"

"Says the other mental Latino!" Fernando pushed her away from him lightly smiling brightly to himself. Katt glared slightly. "Stupid! NANDO!" Katt then smiled before turning to Michael. "You!" She snapped. Michael stepped back. "What did I do?!" He said quickly. "You ... Uh... HAVE A HEAD MOLE!"

Michael rolled his eyes, "Well five million split four ways…" He said with a smile, but Fernando opened the bag, and Katt glared.
"That 'bama white trash fucker!" Katt kicked the duffle bag as magazines feel onto the ground. Michael stared at the ground while Fernando closed his eyes, but then they all heard it.
"Cop man, we gotta roll…" Fernando shouted, but Katt was still glaring to the duffle bag.
"I'm gonna kill him, I swear to the fucking Devil I am gonna kill him!" Michael grabbing Katt as Fernando started up the bike, and Katt and Michael started to run.

"No cos if you were the Doctor, you'd be a hell of a lot more useful!" Emma now quickly moved the front seat as he started the car up and started to drive again. "I mean it, I want to go back, take me back!!" her fists started to pound hard on his shoulder, but Lincoln kept driving.
"Don't make me pull over and tie you up!" Lincoln glared to her; he had just about enough of this shit.

"Really, really now is Linc the sink showing his true colours?" Emma folded her arm glaring at the window before picking up her duffle bag from between her feet.

Lincoln glared. "If that is what you want to see; then you're going to have to stick around! Because you've not stayed around long enough to know who I am ... " Lincoln sighed taking his arm in from outside his window he rubbed his forehead painfully. Emma crossed her arms over before taking out a smoke and lighting it with the cars lighter she held it in her right hand between her middle and index finger casually taking a puff. "You don't know me either Lincoln."

Even if Katt had around six thousand dollars in her bra right now, she still wanted more! Greedy bitch. She was running with Michael jumping over tree stumps and sticks avoiding brush she nearly tripped but caught herself. Michael was running beside slash behind her and Fernando was driving on the bike. Katt came to a total stop hearing water. She backed up.
Michael stopped at the waters edge, "Fernando we going to have to ditch the bike!" he watch him get off and hold it still, Katt backing away from the water slowly, but carefully.
"Looks like Mami's got a fear after all…" Fernando pointed to Katt looking at him with a deer in a head lights face.
"Katt, are you ok?" Michael placed a hand on Katt's holding her still, but she kept backing away.
"I can't swim…" she whispered, but it wasn't the reason she was backing away.
Michael held her hand, "No we are going to cross the logs…" Michael said calm, "I can help you…"

Lincoln glanced over to her, she was one of the only women to look sexy holding a smoke, but she was staring at the road avoiding him completely. "Does anyone know you?" He asked while glancing to the road, but then looking at her as well.
"I doubt, I don't really share much, don't trust people much anyway…" Emma inhaled the smoke before letting out small smoke rings breaking apart by the open window.

Lincoln nodded figuring he wasn't one to talk because well; people didn't know him either. Biting and sucking his bottom lip before letting it go. Inhaling second hand smoke made him calmer then smoking first hand. He turned off the road onto another one pretty much guessing to where he was going. "So; silent treatment?" She didn't look at him, but she wanted too... "No. I was just thinking." He said. "About?"

Katt continued backing away, still not the reason she was backing away. Her nerves were at there all time high. Fernando looked bemused by Katt's reaction to something finally seeing genuine fear in her fear. But then it kind of ... Made him more nervous. Michael was still gripping Katt's hand tightly trying to keep her from pulling him back.

Katt kept her eyes on the running river, her eyes closed while she felt Michael's hand holding onto hers.
"Now we will wash the demon out you child!" an old man's voice strong southern accent, he was holding a little blonde girl in a white dress, he was holding her over the running stream.
"Grandpa, Grandpa please, I'm so scared!" the little version of Katt struggled against his arms, but it was no use, he was stronger than her.
"Demon, leave my little Sierra!" he called to the sky pushing little Katt into the stream of the river, Katt starting to scream before her head was forced under the surface, she struggled, the words of her Grandpa blurred and hard to hear from the bubbling water, she felt the water sting her eyes, holding her breath, but thrashing her arms trying to reach the surface, but soon her lung burned, she couldn't hold her breath anymore, and she inhaled feeling the burn of the water in her chest.

Michael glancing to Fernando, Katt's face had gone completely white.

Emma inhaled more of her smoke before fiddling with her locket, "I told you, long story, you don't want to hear it…" she now flicked the rest of the smoke out the window, she rested her elbow on the doorframe, her eyes finally meet with Lincoln's and her chest tightened, but she didn't show it.
"We have time… I'm interested!"

Emma let out a laugh. "I don't think so Lincoln." Emma curled up in the car seat after taking her shoes off Katt would kill her if she got dirt on her seats.
"Emma please. I wanna want to know." Lincoln glanced at her face at it looked to be puzzled about the fact to tell him or not. "Penis." Emma said - Oh boy she was starting to act like Katt. Lincoln rolled his eyes. "Emma!" He demanded. "Okay fine; once upon a time..." Emma stated. Lincoln rolled his eyes again. "I was ... Born obviously. My dad was the DA and all that good stuff. I met Katt the day before my 13th birthday. We went on a lot of trips together; Well actually - My family took her with us because well hers didn't give a fucking rats ass where she was and we wouldn't leave each other alone long enough to be separated..."

Fernando was looking at Katt who was still remembering. Her lungs felt like they we're going to explode she started coughing up water quickly with force trying to sit up her head swam. Someone helped her. She clung onto them but screamed. "DON'T HURT ME!" Her voice was raspy and scared shaking. "Calm down!" Someone said roughly spoke. Sierra forced her eyes open and her vision was blurred she rubbed her eyes quickly seeing Cousin Theodore. Who was supposed to be in the 'city' "Teddy?" She said quickly and clung to him. Theodore smirked. "Don't worry I'll protect you." He lifted her up. Everyone near the river was gone - They'd left her to die. Sierra nodded gripping onto his shirt. Theodore started walking away toward an older barn... "Hey! Katt!" Michael snapped his fingers in front of her eyes. Her eyes finally looked to his. Katt snapped her eyes open looking to the river, "I can't. I just can't!" her voice scared, but Michael took her face looking her dead in the eyes.
"I will look after you, trust me!" his voice clean, so Katt nodded, she now felt Michael take her hand again leading her to the river, she felt nervous, but she trusted Michael, Fernando was in front of them as they all got onto the log starting to slowly walk to the other side, but then the log started to roll, and Katt screamed as they all feel into the river.

Lincoln nodded, "sounds about fair, but what happened?" He asked keep driving while Emma closed her eyes thinking about it, it wasn't easy for her to remember.

"Just, I focused on my studies, Katt, she focused on other things…" she drifted off, she hated to this about that, "so I graduated high school, a week before my ceremony, Katt took off, left a note, she wanted to see the world, she invited me to come, but I didn't want to…"

"So she; just took off?" Lincoln said in a statement question before looking to her for a minute then back to the road. Emma nodded. "Pretty much; Katt has problems with staying in once place to long. She was probably glad to be moved to Fox River." Emma then shrugged. "Other than that, I started medical school... But then ... I met this guy named Mark." Emma paused in time to see Lincoln's face flicker jealousy and his hand gripped tighter on the wheel.

Katt felt the water a shock to her she started trashing against the water trying to find air. Michael accidentally let go on Katt's hand falling onto the other side of the log where Fernando had fallen. Michael shook his thoughts and crawled over the log and felt around feeling wet fabric he grabbed it pulling it up. Katt screamed her arms wrapped around Michael's neck quickly.
"It's ok, its ok I got you!" He help guide he to the hold, and Kat held on tightly.
"Sucre!" Michael called, he glanced around, "Sucre!!!!" hi voice louder, but Katt was glancing around in a panic.
"Nando!!!" Katt called as well, she was shivering in the water, not because it was hold, cos she was scared.
Fernando finally pulled his head above the water, "guys I'm here, my foot…" He spat out water glancing to Katt, "its stuck." he added trying to move it, but was useless.
Michael now dived under the water looking to the log on his foot, but it was too heavy to move.

"Well, it was weird, Mark was on of the Frat boys, I don't know why he picked me, and I wasn't even in a sorority sister…" Emma laughed while trying to cover her nerves.
"Your hot that is why he picked you…" Lincoln added while quickly glancing to her.

Emma rolled her eyes, "We were together, well, 1998's new year party…" Emma was remembering that night.

"So who are you?" Mark was wearing a superman costume, he now glanced over Emma wearing a red wig, purple 70's style dress with purple high heels.
"I'm Daphne…" She laughed holding up a micro scope. Mark was dazzled by her tropical eyes, her soft ruby red lips, her smile.
"Scooby Doo…" Mark laughed as he sees a girl approach them; she was wearing a brown pair of pants and a green shirt.
"This guy bothering you Em?" She glanced from Mark to Emma, who laughed.
"No, Ruby, he was going to get me a drink…"

Lincoln was driving. He continuously stared at Emma who looked zoned out because she was. Ruby nodded then carefully eyeing Mark. "Jack Daniels?" Mark offered casually. Emma nodded with a bright grin. "Please." She didn't sound like she expected much from this guy; but she wanted much. Ruby watched Mark grin and walk away. "Besides the fact his ass is nice... For a guy. What's up?" Ruby's eyes looked to Emma. Emma then shrugged. "I'm just happppyyy" She spun around on a small buzz from a joint she smoked an hour ago.

Katt was clinging tighter to the log started to breathe uncontrollably all over the place. Fernando winced in pain at whatever Michael was doing. He tried pulling his foot but he couldn't. Michael surfaced. "It's stuck. Don't worry." Michael then looked hearing the damn's horn sounding. His eyes sparkled. "The water level is reaching max... As soon as it rises a bit more this river will empty and the log will move... There is a probably small pressure pipe under the rocks somewhere to aid water movement." Michael nodded. Katt screamed. "I WANNA GO NOW!" She freaked over almost bawling. Fernando was floating well trying to.

Michael rolled his eyes, "Ok I'm gonna help Katt to the other bank, I'll be right back…." He grabbed Fernando's hand giving it a quick squeeze, and Katt coughed.
"Ok not to break up the love feast, but me, want, out, like now!" she shouted, while Michael covered her mouth.
"Shh, come on…" he now started to guide her to the other side of the river, when they made it to the Bank Katt jumped out, then held a hand for Michael.
"Come on…" she whispered, but Michael stared up to her.
"I'm helping Sucre!" he snapped to her.

"So, we ended up making him run around the frat house naked…" Mark laughed, he placed a hand on Emma's, "Does anyone tell you, your eyes look like an ocean?" He watched as Emma giggled on her bed, he was in shock he was in her dorm room.

"I've been told…" Emma leaned forward feeling his lips pressed onto her, she ran a hand into his hair kissing him deeply until a ringing caught them off guard.

Mark froze pulling back his eyes watching hers. He hoped she wouldn't answer. But her eyes were looking at her phone ringing. "Sorry." She whispered reaching over she picked up; "Hello?" She answered in a joyous tone. "EMMA!" Katt's voice yelled into the phone.
"Oh." Her buzz died she held Mark's fingers as she listened into the static line. "What do you need? And how much?" She asked said with a sigh.
"No Emma ... You! ..."
"Listen I'm kind of busy. I'll bail you out in the morning." Emma looked to her clock. Mark lent up kissing her neck lightly ignoring the phone.
"No Emma, listen!" Katt said alarmed.
"I've heard it ALL before mmkay?!" Emma snapped darkly wanting to spend time with Mar.
"I love you yeah?" Katt said into the phone with a hyperventilating tone.
Emma rolled her eyes. Kissing Mark's lip quickly.
"Good night Katt." Emma slammed the phone down onto the hanger and giggled. "Who was that?" Mark asked.
"No one." Emma said seriously.

"Pickle!" Katt was still breathing hard. "I'm still scared!" Her eyes darted around looking for an old barn.
"I'll be right back I promise!" Michael's eyes were dark.
Katt nodded standing by a tree kicking some of the dirt up around its roots, "Yeah sure…" She watched him going back to Fernando as she rested against the tree biting her thumb nail; it was the sounds of dogs barking that was making her more nervous than the river right now.
Michael had made it back to the log looking to Fernando, "Are you ok?" He asked helping him stay a head above the water.
"Papi, just go, please…." he said glancing back to the bank but not seeing it.
"I'm not leaving you, ok, you're stuck with me." Michael hearing the barking as well was getting nervous.

Emma snapped out of it before glancing back out the window. "So Mark party, please don't tell me, love of your life, couldn't live without him…" Lincoln's voice was harsh, it wasn't meant to sound it but he wasn't like the idea of knowing someone else loved her.

"no quite the opposite, we was together for two years, I never fell in love with him, a very deep like, followed by drunken lust, I could live without him, he just couldn't live with…." she stopped speaking closing her eyes, seeing the gun, his face, BANG!

Emma jumped in her seat keeping her eyes wide opened, looking out the window. Hot flashed across her body she was sweating from the heat even if the sun was heading down. Lincoln glared to the road sign. "Mhmm. Okay." He didn't like that someone else could have been with Emma and didn't want to be. He caught onto what she was saying. "I doubt you're the girl who wants pity Emma... So I don't know what to say."

Michael was watching around the bank listening to the dogs getting closer, before he noticed the motor bike. "I have a plan!" He said. "I want you to hold you're hand above water and hold your breath as long as possible." Michael was nodding seriously. "Papi! Just go!" Fernando closed his eyes. "DO IT!" Michael finally snapped. Fernando nodded. Michael let him take a breath and let his head go under. He pulled himself up, taking a rope tying it around the log. He took the other half and took it to the bike. Katt was watching on the other side on the bank horrified. "What are you doing?!' She called to Michael. He didn't speak he continued his plan, the dogs barking more furiously.
Michael now tied the rope to the bike, he looked behind him as he revved the engine, and he then looked to Katt giving her a smirk and a wink.
"Michael James Scofield don't!" Katt screamed from her side of the bank, her eyes wide with fear.

Fernando started to wave his hand he couldn't breathe, Michael now rode the bike forward, and the log jolted off of Fernando's foot, But Michael went crashing with the bike into the river.

"No I don't, it's scary when someone holds a gun to your face, but worse when they put it over your heart, and say that you have nothing there." Emma moved in the chair stripping the blazer off, then the shirt that had a tank top underneath it.
"Wait, hold up!" Lincoln quickly glanced from the road to her face.
"I think I heart this on the news, Frat guy killed himself in front of his girlfriend…" Lincoln watched Emma's face, she was nodded.

Lincoln paused for a long time driving debating whether or not if it was his right to say something. Emma figured he had gotten lost in thought and spoke. "Anyways; I don't want to talk about it." Emma looked out the passenger window sucking her lip. "If you're sure about that, Emma I ..." He closed his mouth.

"Yes?" Emma said again wondering for a long moment.
"I ... Never mind." Lincoln shook his head. It wasn't the right time to say it.
Emma's anxiety kicked in. "I think... I need a walk! Lincoln!" Emma snapped quickly. Lincoln slowed down but then he pulled over onto the side of the road and parked the car turning it off. Emma struggled opening her door she stood up quickly.

Fernando didn't resurface after a few seconds and Katt's heart rate went up from about one-hundred beats her minute to two hundred she felt nerves racking up. Michael lost account for what happened while he went flying into the air. "MICHAEL JAMES!" Katt yelled again. ","NANDO?!" She added none of them coming up for air. Katt stormed to the blank but stopped freezing. "MICHAEL!" Katt snapped. "This isn't FUNNY!" She heard the dogs getting closet to the water the police radio easy to hear. "Bless me Satin." Katt jumped into the river sinking right to the bottom her blurred vision she felt around for Michael. Michael was in pain. He tried shaking it off forgetting he was in water he inhaled. He felt himself being grabbed at and he started assuming the police caught them. He opened his eyes feeling his head merge from the water he sat Katt who was holding the rope that wrapped around a tree and was hanging across to where the bike landed.

Michael looked wide eyed, "Sucre!" he called and Fernando surfaced cleanly ok as the now started swim to the other band, Katt was quicker than all of them to get out the river and up the bank, Michael and Fernando behind her in a flash.

They ran clear across the road, up another hill and down again before heading down into bush...

Emma had taken her duffle bag out of the car with her; she was unzipping the pants kicking off the heels. Lincoln was sat in the car, not sure to watch or look away.

Lincoln's eyes kept going from the road to Emma. As she changed getting into something cooler; a purple sun dress with flip flips. Not running from police outfit but at least she wasn't sweating bullets....
