"The garage must not be within the dampening field that SadTech is employing. My suit is rebooting itself and should be operational momentarily."
"We should look for a way out of here."
"We can use of these vehicles to escape the garage. Let's find one that we can use."
"How about that large vehicle." as Kiera points towards a sport utility vehicle.
"No, those are two easy to track. They have computers and can be shut down remotely. No that car over there will be perfect." as I point towards an old Chevy Nova. No computers to shut down and plenty of power to get us out if here."
"Oh I get it, less computers is good."
"Exactly!" as we move towards the car looking to see if anyone is coming.
"How do we get in the car?"
"What's great about these older cars is that the owners usually don't lock them up all the time. So we will try the doors." They are locked.
"Now what"
I pull out my weapon and shoot out the back seat window and reach around and unlock the front door. I slide into the driver's seat and unlock the passenger door. My suit is up and running, just in time as I request ways to start this car. A simple electrical charge through the starter accomplishes the task. But our ruckus has attracted attention. As a group of men come running around the corner of the garage. I throw the car in reverse and spin the car out backwards of the parking space. I then flip the gear into drive and hammer the gas pedal and quickly accelerate. We spin around two floors and the exit appears. A chain link security fence is lowering. "Hold on Kiera. You may want to slide down in the seat." as I push the gas pedal to the floor and the car is practically flying up the ramp. The gate scrapes the roof of the car as we crash through the gate.
"Look out for the truck" as Kiera looks up over the dashboard getting back up and into the seat. We make a hard right turn into traffic and take off.
I try and contact Alec through my communications, "Alec, are you out there. Please be there."
"Kiera, is that you?"
"Yes, Alec, it is me, where are you?"
"That would be easier to discuss later, me at my lab at my parent's farm."
"So you soon."
I use my tech to access a direct route to the farm from where we are. After we travel several blocks, I notice some dark tinted windowed vehicles have been following a few car behind us for several blocks. "Kiera, we are going to have to make a car change, but we are going to need to lose our tail."
"Our tail?"
"Yes, I believe agents from SadTech are behind us right now. We are a few block away from the hub for the subway system. We should be able to lose them there. As we near as busy intersection, I speed up and dash through the light leaving my trackers behind me. After a block I turn the corner and double back around the block and pull into a garage un-noticed.
"What are we doing here?" Kiera asks somewhat puzzled.
"Ditching the car, and going to the subway station outside the garage." We head out to the street and down to the subway. We take the train to the next station which was the hub and change over to a car that will get us closest to Alec. We get there with no sign of anybody following us.
Once at the end of our train ride, we are on the edge of the city. I find the secure credit I had set up is still in place and I use it to rent a car, and we head to the farm. When we get there we head straight to the barn.
Alec gets up to hug me, "Kiera, where have you been? I lost contact with you a while ago."
"How long have I been gone?"
"Almost a year."
"How is that possible, I am sure it has only been a few weeks."
"I'm not sure but after you disappeared I stopped working for SadTech. They were hiding too much from me. But who is this you brought with you? Is she your sister?"
"I am not sure . We were trapped somewhere else. I am not sure where we were. But Kiera was there when I arrived."
"Her name is Kiera and she looks so similar to you. There is definitely some going on here and it can't be good."
"That's why I came to you. You are most familiar with my tech and I brought this too." as I pull out the sphere I took from SadTech during our escape.
"I will need to run some tests on it."
"You work on that while I see if I can locate Kiera's family."
