A/N: Before I start this part of the story I have to say that there is something's I have to clarify. Like if I used the wrong name for the character or I put the cast in the wrong city. It was because I was going to have this in the 'Original' category but changed my mind half way through. So I believe in the first chapter I have put the wrong character name. I think I put Tom instead of Tai. And the city they are in is Odiaba. So, if I left any other changes out please tell me. Now with no more to say on with the story.

Matt looked down to the floor with his arms now over his chest. He felt awful about not being able to tell them but he had to remind himself that it was for the best. He told Max that they shouldn't have stopped here. In this city. But Max said they had too. So what if it was dark, they needed a place to rest and that was the closest city. That didn't mean they had to come here.

"Matt are you hearing your self? You are talking about leaving your family, your friends… your brother." How she said that made Matt's heart throb. He didn't want to leave, really. But the times call for it.

Matt now started considering the offer. It would be nice to have everything go back to normal. But his situation was more complicated then a simple desire to stay could fix.

Matt sighed. Knowing there was nothing else he could say he said, "Well," He looking at the watch of his wrist, "It's been a nice reunion but I really have to go." Matt started to turn when someone grabbed his arm. He looked back to gaze into a pair of chocolate coloured eyes.

"So that's it? You decide to leave us for over a year then when you do come back you leave only a few minutes latter." Tai's eyes were enflamed. Matt jerked free from Tai's grip.

"Guess so then, err, Tai you don't understand. You won't understand."

"Try me." He hated getting that when he said someone wouldn't understand. They can't just trust him with that fact and have that be done with. But Tai, he assumed, felt like he wasn't trusted either and Matt new that but, yet again, it was for the best. Maybe if Nick sees that Max and Matt have left the city then he will leave Tai alone. It would be Tai's only chance.

Tai, on the other hand, would do anything to keep Matt from leaving. Matt obviously wasn't going to answer. Matt just silently turned back around and started heading for stairs in the center of the balcony hall. A thought passed through Tai's mind and he remembered what Kari had said…"IF YOU DON'T STOP FIGHTING I'LL CALL THE COPS ON YOU FOR DISTERBING THE PUBLIC". If Matt leaves it would be like he was running away. Tai could call the cops and Matt will be forced to stay. Matt wouldn't be out on his own leaving with everyone to wonder if he was ok. If he was alive. It just might work.

Tai quickly grabbed the phone from his sister and shouted. "Matt, don't go. I'll…" Tai felt terrible about what he was about to say and would, at any cost, do. "I'll call the cops." Tai gulped, "For running away… I don't want to loose you again… no one does." Matt didn't even turn around He just shot to the stairs at a dead run.

"What the…?" Tai said. Tai shook his head and quickly dialed the number for the police department.

"Hello. This is the police department. How may I help you?"

Matt shot down the stairs almost falling a few times. Ok. He admits it. He's been in trouble with the police a few times. But he was out on the street. He stole some things to get by. But he was never caught. To the cops he was just a common thief and the reason for thievery was not important. He knows that as soon as Tai mentioned his name he new that a couple P (police) cars will come by.

He will be leaving the city know. There will be no reason to stay he had to go. He reached the sidewalk below and ran as if there were no tomorrow. He ran quickly across the street and nearly got hit. He just pushed himself of the car and by the other cars that seemed to have stopped.

Even before he reached the sidewalk on the other side he heard sirens that were really close to him. He turned his head to the left and saw a P car. He got on the sidewalk and turned left knowing the P will not expect that. The P car didn't and had to stop, almost get in a accident, and turn around.

Matt turned right, on to another street. He heard the sirens close to him again. How will I be able to out run them? He asked himself. Matt looked up the street and saw the next street was, maybe, about 10 meters from him. He will never make it. He saw when the next building ends. I'll turn there. So he stepped up his speed to get. This time he was not going to make any kind of sharp turn. He learnt his lesson the last time he tried that. H got to the turn and made it. Matt you're such a baka. He thought when he realized he turned into a parking lot.

He looked forwards and saw a fence. That fence will be easy for someone his age to get over. He run up to it hearing the P car is just behind him. He jumped in the air and landed on the fence and started to climb

The cops got out of their car. One said, "No wonder no other policeman have been able to get him yet. He has a full deck of luck on his side."

"Drop the thought for the time and call for back up!" The older cop said. The other did what he was told.

Matt landed on the other side of the fence to see the cops just standing there until the older looking one ran to the fence and the other one went back in the car to grab there radio. Matt took this as a good time to start running.

He turned his head to look for a place to run and his eyes laid upon a fire escape on the side of an apartment and he ran to in.

He grabbed on to the metal bars of the escape and started to half pull and half climb his way to the top. At the same time the older cop was making it to the top of the fence and shouted. "Stop! Stop now kid before this goes to far!"

Matt chose to ignore him and continued to climb to the top of the fire escape. He was about mid way up when he felt the metal he was standing on shake slightly. Matt new instantly that it was the cop that had now started climbing up as well

Matt felt so happy once he reached to top that he wanted to shout it but thought it as not the best thing to do at the time. He then saw a ruff top door that will take him to the other floors of the building and headed towards it. He swung the door open and ran down the stairs feeling kinda relieved that he was going down instead of up this time.

He Reached the 15th and top floor at that point. Then he got to the 14th, then 13th, 12, 11,10, 9,8,7, 6 and a half. The police. Other cops. They were coming up the stairs. Matt turned around and started heading back to the 7th floor.

When got there he tried to open the door. It was stuck. He pulled hard on the handle. God. Why me? He started to turn around to head for the 8th floor when the door opened. Someone came into the stairs and Matt took not time to run through, accidentally knocking over the other guy. Matt slammed the door just before the cops got him. He heard rattling on the other side of the door. They couldn't get through. This door must be locked. He decided that he would not dwell on it that long and to get out of there well he can. And he took off for the elevator.

Five minutes later he reached the lobby. At the front door he saw two cop standing there. Must be waited for me to come out. He looked around. "Distraction. Distraction. Distraction." He said to himself over and over again. He looked around the lobby. It looked like every other. The desk had a woman that wore a red uniform stood behind it giving someone there room key. The person had like ten bags beside him. Matt looked some place else. He saw a bellboy heading towards the person to grab her bags and just behind him was a little kid about six-years-old playing with marbles. A person that looked like the little boys mom was searching through her purse. The husband was looking at some papers in his hands. Neither of then had noticed the little boy was missing yet. The stairs were by the doors and were pretty wide with a nice red carpet on them.

An idea passed through Matt head. All he hoped was that no one would get hurt. Now to find out how to do it. He then noticed a boy in the corner with his parents, who were trying to find out where to go. The boy was playing with a yo-yo. "Perfect" Matt said out loud.

He walked casually towards the small family. "Hi." He said as friendly as he could to the boy.

"Hey," the boy greeted.

Matt ginned, "So… you on vacation?"

"Yeah… you?"

"No. Just cutting through the hotel for a shot cut home." Matt lied.

"Oh so you live in this city."

"Yeah." There was silence until Matt spoke again. "Hey you in for a prank."

The boy looked at Matt for a moment… Then grinned. "You bet I am. What you got in mind."

"Listen to this…"

On the stairs sat the boy. He had rapped the yo-yo around the banister of the stairs and held apart of the yo-yo string in his hand. He looked back at Matt who grinned then looked towards the cops who still hadn't noticed him. He looked to the bellboy. He was carrying four out of the ten bags that the lady had. He was heading to the stairs. Matt stood against the wall on the opposite of the stairs and beside the doors. All he had to do now was wait.

The boy got ready as the bellboy got closer to the stairs. He was going to trip the bellboy. He shouldn't get hurt since it was just on the third stair but it will cause a good distraction. The bellboy was now at the stairs. First step Matt and the boy got ready. Second step: Just about time. Third step. The rope was pulled and the bellboy started to fall back.

"Woow. WooooooW. Ahhh!" The bellboy said as he fell back. Thud. HE fell on his back the lady screamed and the cloths from the suitcase fell everywhere. The boy stood up laughing.

"Jamie" His mother yelled angrily as the police came in to help clean up the mess. Matt then dashed for the door and shot down the stairs, "THERE'S THE KID!" One of the cops yelled as he saw Matt run down the street.

Matt did it. He couldn't believe it. It actually worked. He looked back to see the cops on his trail again. God. Don't they ever give up? He thought bitterly. He then stepped up his speed.

Unknown to Matt a boy about 18-years-old saw him. The boy was tall and was reasonably buff. He has short, dark brown hair and was a bout 6 foot 3. His blue eyes watched the young blond run from the police. What did you get your self into this time? He thought.

Matt was getting tired he had to shake those guys soon or he'll get caught. He crossed the road causing cars to come to a screeching stops. The police were having trouble them self's but didn't let Matt get out that easily.

Matt ran down the street. He then heard sirens and turned his head to see a P car turn the corner a block away behind him. The cops were ganging on him now. He felt like giving up. Like this was getting him nowhere when he felt someone grab his arm and pull him into an alley beside him. He looked up and saw a tall man about 18 with dark brown hair.

"Max we gotta get out of here." He said.

"I know. But later you telling me why the cops are after you, got it?" Matt nodded. "Fallow me." And the two boys ran deeper into the alley.

The police saw the two boys when they turned the corner. The cop car had gone around the block in order to trap Matt and Max in the alley.

The alley was long and had trashcans tipped over every few steps. Newspaper was spread through out. Max led Matt through the alley. Max and Matt have known each other for some time now. They could always count on each other if they were in a jam. And the other would always try their best to get their friend out of trouble. And so far they succeeded against everything.

"There right behind us!" Matt shouted.

"Don't mind that! Just keep running!" Max suddenly came to a halt when he saw the P car turn into the alley and drive towards them. Max and Matt looked behind them and saw the police had stopped running and now held up guns to them. The P car had now stopped and an officer had stepped out and started walking towards them.

"Don't tell me this was your get away plan Max." Matt said.

"Shut up."

"You are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Everything you say can and will be used against you."
