Chapter 53 (Fabian's pov)
We were almost there. Five minutes, maybe? I looked behind him. There was a red truck. I texted Alfie, We need to speed up. Look behind you. Sure enough, Alfie looked behind him and saw Rufus. He gave me a thumbs up. I drove pretty fast. I just hoped I wouldn't run into something.
(Nina's pov)
"Time to wash the face masks off!" Amber yelled.
"Ok, Amber. Can we take these cucumbers off, too?" Mara asked.
"Sure."
"Can I eat them?" Mick questioned.
"You can only eat the ones that came off our eyes. The other ones are for Patricia and Joy."
"I need this thing off my face." I said as I walked into the bathroom.
Mara followed me in. "So, did someone catch that criminal guy?" She asked.
"No. He's still out there."
"Today's Wednesday, right?"
"Yeah, right."
"When are we going to leave?"
"Friday."
"Ok."
"Neens." Amber exclaimed as she came to wash her face off.
"What, Amber?"
"Jerome just called. Rufus is following them home!"
"You mean that lunatic the police are after?" Mara rose an eyebrow.
"Yes, she does. What do we do?"
"I don't know! They are driving really fast and there are police behind Rufus!"
"Well, maybe they'll arrest the lunatic." Mara suggested.
"No! They're going to stop Alfie! Then he'll lose his license and I won't have anyone to drive me to the mall!"
"Amber, relax. They might realize that they were trying to out-drive Rufus and arrest him."
"They're going to arrest Alfie!?"
"No, they're going to arrest Rufus."
Amber let out a relieved sigh. "Ok."
(Joy's pov)
"There's police behind him!" Patricia shouted.
"They're arresting Rufus!" Jerome said gleefully.
"We're almost home!" I cried.
"Shut up!" Alfie yelled.
"Um, guys, I don't think they're arresting Rufus." I pointed out.
"What?" Jerome asked.
"They're giving him a ticket."
"Go faster, Alfie! They're going to make us pay them!"
"Fabes, it's Joy. Go faster."
"Faster, Alfie! They're going to take more money than Amber does!"
(Amber's pov)
"Mick! Mara wants her massage!" I yelled.
"But I'm eating cucumbers!"
"Just do it!"
"But-"
"But nothing! Go give Mara her massage!"
"Bossy."
(Patricia's pov)
"Joy, you better sit up here."
"But Alfie said-"
"We might wreck. Do you want to die? Get up here!"
"Ok." She climbed over the seats and sat by me. "I think I have a concussion."
"Well, at least we're almost there."
Her phone rang, and she answered with a smile. "Hey, Fabes? What? Ok."
"What did he want?"
"We went the wrong way."
Author's note: Sorry for not updating sooner! I was on vacation and I will be leaving again at least twice, so that might interfere with this. Thanks for remaining loyal and understanding. Love you all. Xoxo ~L
