Emily's mind was scattered as she ran. She was so confused. She didn't know what was going on, who these other people are, where her parents were or where she was going. She just continued to let herself be pulled along by the red head.
"This way!" Paige shouted as she made a sharp right into a parking lot. The girls ran until they reached the second floor. Paige led Emily to a car and shouted for her to get in as she ran over to the driver's side. The red head pulled out of the parking spot and quickly drove them onto the streets.
Emily's eyes bulged when she looked around the car. It seemed to be equipped with so many different things she wasn't sure she could think of a reason to have so many buttons and controls in a car. Paige turned on a monitor and a GPS screen immediately lit up. Their car was shown as a small yellow triangle but what shocked her were the tens of red triangles so close by.
"They're all after us?" Emily asked in a terrified voice as more of a statement than an actual question.
"Hold on." Paige said speeding down the road with a confident gaze. "Five, four, three, two, one." The second Paige finished her count down the number of red triangles reduced significantly. Emily's eyes widened. She tried to ask how the hell they all disappeared like that. Maybe the screen had broken or was malfunctioning but it all came out as a few disgruntled syllables and a very confused look. Before Paige could answer the girl an alert message popped up on the screen.
"You still alive over there?" Paige asked.
"Yeah." Angel's voice resonated out of the speakers of Paige's car. They could hear her rapid breathing and a few painful grunts.
"Are you alright?" Paige asked clearly worried.
"I'm fine. I think a few of 'em made it past me. Can handle that?"
"Do you really have to ask?" Paige smirked as she responded. Angel laughed.
"Not sure why I do anymore. Stay safe. I'll catch up when I can." As soon as the call ended several pairs of headlights could be seen in the rear-view mirror.
"Try not to scream." Paige warned.
"Why- AHHHHH!" Emily's question was cut short as Paige pulled the emergency brake so that the car was now driving in the same direction, only backwards. If Emily wasn't so concerned for her life she would probably be totally impressed. Paige pressed another button and the windshield showed a target lock. Another button brought out a gun from the hood and within seconds had a lock on all aggressive targets.
"This is why I love this car." Paige said with a smile, pressing one more button. Emily stared wide eyed as the machine hit every single target. Four large explosions filled her view as Paige righted the car and drove off. Emily observed the girl next to her. She had a fire in those chocolate eyes and an attractive smirk to match it. Emily also took a mental note of how soft her skin looked. It was because she was jealous, she reasoned. That's the only reason she cared about her skin.
"Y'all have a nice evening." The cashier waved them off with a smile. The girls returned the gesture and made their way from the restaurant to the car, food in hand.
"I am starving." Paige said shoving a couple of fries into her mouth. Emily just sat there. "Hey." Paige said softly breaking the girl out of her thoughts. "Everything is going to be ok. Your parents are fine. You can see them as soon as we get back to headquarters." The red head offered with the hope of receiving a smile.
"You're right. I guess I'm still a little shaken." Emily let out softly. "Thanks for the food..."She let her sentence hang in the air.
"Paige." Paige repeated her name to the girl.
"Right, sorry." Emily gave her a soft smile. She couldn't explain it but she believed every word that escaped the red heads lips. It was probably the hot feeling in her chest but she shrugged it off as woman's intuition.
"No worries." Paige returned the smile and started the car. "Do you want to watch a movie? We've got about another two hours to go before we get there." Paige asked in the middle of Emily's chewing. She tried to swallow and when she couldn't she let out an answer that sounded more like a zombie groan than anything. Paige couldn't help but ask her to repeat her answer in between laughs.
Emily finally got the food down and with a small laugh of her own, something Paige suddenly found she missed, said "Sure." Paige fumbled with a couple of buttons until the front window shield turned pitch black. Emily let out a frightened yelp.
"What happened?"
"It's ok Emily; it's just the movie screen."
"But we can't see! We're gunna crash!"
"Would you take a deep breath please? This car has auto pilot." Emily gave Paige a look of disbelief. "This car can shoot rocket launchers, is it really that hard to believe it can drive itself?" Paige tried to reason. The brunette seemed to calm down quickly.
"I guess that makes sense." Emily conceded quietly. She was embarrassed now and was thankful for the dim lights. However, she couldn't deny that she was excited to drive in a car that could drive itself, and she couldn't deny that she was excited to watch a movie, specifically with the redhead sitting next to her. "So what movies do you have?"
