Christine saw bright lights on the horizon. She squinted her eyes, trying to get a better veiw.

"Looks like we need to get you some glasses, or maybe some contacts," Rider commented as he saw her squinting.

She looked at him scornfully. "Aren't you putting me in jail?"

"Heck, no!" Said one of the men with a thick country western accent.

She held up her cuffs, which were cutting painfully into her wrists. "Then what are these for!?"

"To make sure you don't do anything testy," Rider smiled and chuckled.

Christine sighed. She looked out the windshield. She could clearly see the lights now. In fact, she could see buildings. Tall buildings. "Where are we?" She asked.

"Welcome to the city, Miss Silhouette," Detective Zimmermen announced.

She couldn't help but smile. She had never been to the city before. She stood up, despite the rule to never stand up on a helicopter, and got a better look. There was a park in the center, with many large buildings around it. The helicopter landed right in the center of the park. While the blades were still spinning, Christine and the men raced out of the helicopter and into an army jeep.

"God, not another ride!" Christine moaned. "Can we just walk?"

A few of them chuckled. "Yeah, Silhouette. Like we're gonna walk eighty miles!" Zimmermen exclaimed through watery eyes.

"First of all, it's not that funny. Second, we're not staying in the city?" Christine slumped in her seat.

"Sorry girl, but the academy isn't anywhere near the rest of the city," Zimmermen explained.

"What academy?" Christine's stomach rumbled. "I hope we get there soon."

"Just sit back and relax, Christine. We'll be there in a couple of hours," Rider smiled. Christine smiled back, a genuine smile.

Thanks again to everybody who reviewed! Please review some more so I can continue!
