Akira drove silently down the forest road. The night darkness seemed to swallow the world penetrated only by the moon's ghostly golden-white rays. Akira glanced worriedly at her partner. I::She isn't usually this withdrawn…What happened during the mission?::/i She turned her attention back to the road, and they drove quietly for awhile longer. It was then that Mei Li shattered the silence.p
"Akira…" She stated grimly, "I think we have company."p
Akira brushed a lock of her dark chestnut hair, the color of deep cherrywood, from her face and stared into the rearview mirror. Emerald green eyes met hers and she felt herself falling into their mossy depths. She was like a deer in headlights, unable to turn away. Mei Li shook her fiercely, breaking her eye contact.p
"Come on!! Stop it, Akira!!" she shouted and stared worriedly at Akira. "Well," she said after a few moments, "what's the verdict on our follower?"p
"Umm..." Akira shook her head to gather her wits. "Black Lexus, occupant male…um, 17 or so? I couldn't tell. I only got a good look at his eyes…beautiful… green eyes…." Once again, Mei Li pulled her out of her reverie.p
"Well? What are we going to do about him?" she questioned.p
"He has a faster vehicle n this paved road. We have to catch a dirt road turn-off to the east about a quarter mile up ahead."p
"So, we either try to outrun his Lexus, or we take the scenic route to the dirt road." Mei Li insinuated.p
"Um-hmm…" Akira nodded. "So… how are you for the road less traveled?" she winked. Mei Li smirked in agreement. Akira wrenched the wheel to the right, driving smack into the woods. As the ferns and branches snapped beneath them, Akira failed to hear the Lexus' entrance to the forest. I::So, big bad wolf… Too scared to follow the little piggies, eh?::/I She sneered and punched the gas. Just as said, the dirt road cut through the forest a quarter mile north. Akira leaned back into the driver's seat and smiled inwardly to herself. I::They never know what to expect, the fools.::/i Suddenly she spotted the black mark of the Lexus speeding toward her. I::What?!? How did he know about the road?!::/i She forgot everything as the Lexus sped closer toward them. It was so close, she could just make out the outline of the driver's body. I::He's driving like a maniac!!::/i The Lexus was so close now that she could see its occupant clearly. I::He's so young…. Just a child. Just like Me.::/i She was drawn once more into his deep green eyes. I::He won't turn, even if he dies…::/i She tore her eyes away from his. She couldn't do it. Thousands of times, more than she wanted to count, she had killed innocent men, but she couldn't kill him…She wanted him to live. She cringed and yanked the wheel to the left, away from the oncoming Lexus. The jeep did a 360 and thunked to an unsteady halt. Akira stepped on the gas, and they disappeared before the dust cloud cleared.p
