Chapter 4
Zee's POV
I made my way back to the motel. I couldn't wait to see her and tell her the good news. I knocked on the door and waited. And waited. I knocked a few more times and waited a few more times. Where was she? Now I was getting pretty worried. I twisted the knob enough for it to break. Hey, I had unlimited creds, I could pay for it later. (A/N:I know, I know that sounds like something Ro would say but they are starting to think alike remember?) I pushed open the door. "Ro?!!" I called. No answer. "RO!!" I called again, louder this time. I saw the note I had left for her on the table, only this time there was a different message. I picked it up.
Zeta
We have Miss Rowen. We would like you to come down to NSA headquarters so that we may put you into custody. If you comply we will then be able to let Miss. Rowen go.
Agent Bennet
I had to get her back, but I couldn't possibly give into them. Not only for the sake of my freedom, but Ro would be furious with me, and that, I think, would be worse than losing my freedom. So now I had only one choice. I had to break her out.
Ro's POV
I opened my eyes and found I was tied up to a chair in the middle of a dark room. The only light coming from a lamp hanging from the ceiling. I squirmed in my chair. Surly the government didn't allow this kind of treatment to its inmates. But, I wasn't exactly an inmate, because I wasn't exactly arrested. They were using me for a trade. Zee's freedom for mine. Isn't this illegal? God, I hoped he didn't come for me. He was the one that deserved to be free, not me. I knew he would come though, and it broke my heart.
Zee's POV
I left the motel and sat on a bench that was facing the street. I needed a plan to get Ro out. And right now, I was out of plans. How was I going to get her out without getting caught myself? I sat there for a long time thinking. I looked up at the cars and the trucks that passed. A green and grey truck passed and on the side was "NSA". That was it! I quickly changed into a hologram with me in running clothes so I could run after the truck without looking like I was running after the truck.
The truck made many turns and stops but finally stopped in front of the NSA headquarters gate. I opened the back of the truck and slipped in. It was filled with boxes. I climbed to a pile of boxes in the back of the truck and sat on them, then changed into one. The truck started moving again and headed into the buildings garage.
Ro's POV
I heard snoring and immediately thought of Zee. I knew it wasn't him but someone else was in the room with me, someone who was sleeping. I squinted to try to see who it was. Hah! Agent West. And here I though I was going to have a hard time escaping! I rubbed the rope bonding my hands against the corner on the chair leg. After a while of rubbing my hands were finally free. I reached down to untie my legs. I stood up and walked silently over to West. This was too easy. I carefully pushed him down so that his knees and chest were touching. I tied his hands and legs together with the rope that was used to tie together my legs. I used one of the ropes on my hand to use as a gag. I stole the keys and slipped silently out of the room and locked it behind me.
I crept down the long hall. I came to an intersection and read the signs. I decided to go down the hall marked "garage". Suddenly alarms started going off and I ran looking behind me to see if anyone was following.
Zee's POV
I had managed to get off the truck and into the nearest door without being noticed. I was sneaking down the hall when alarms started going off and I decided running would be a much better option.
I looked behind me to see if anyone had followed me. All of the sudden I had collided with something that made me fall flat on my back. I sat up and rubbed my head. "Ro?"
Ro's POV
I had run into someone and was now staring at the cold grey ceiling. "Ro?" I heard.
"Ro! I'm so glad I found you!"
He hugged me and I just sat there a little shocked. Not just because I had been trying to escape from the NSA headquarters and ran into an ex killer robot and got hugged by him. He also felt, different. I snapped out of it and realized I had been trying to escape and that alarms were going off. I jumped up and grabbed his hand. "Escape now, talk later." I said and started running to the garage. I looked behind us and saw about four agents on our tail. I think four, I'm not sure, maybe six, and anyway, I was too busy to be counting them.
We made it through the garage and were on the long stretch of pavement leading us to the chain-link gate. The gate started to close and I squeezed Zee's hand. He felt so different, he felt human. Where did he go while he was away from me?
Zee's POV
She squeezed my hand and I felt it. That was one of the better feelings, unlike when I had collided with her earlier, which still hurt. I couldn't wait to tell her!
We made it through the gate. But the NSA cars that were chasing us didn't. We ran down the street and by then the gate had opened letting them through. We ran a few more blocks and I could sense Ro was getting tired. I tugged her hand and we went into an abandoned house. Ro and I started looking for a place to hide.
I looked down at my feet. The floor boards. I quickly started to remove sections of the floor. I motioned to Ro. I slid my way under the floor and lay on my back. Ro slid down and lay on top of me on her stomach. My arms went around her and replaced the missing floor board pieces. We were now a part of the floor. "Zee! You're-" I cut her off when I heard people entering the house. She lay with her cheek on my chest. My hands rested on the small of her back. One of her hands was against my chest, while the other was making its way up and was touching my face. I wasn't sure what she was doing. Humans are confusing sometimes. She finally reached my hair and ran her fingers through it. Her head shot up at me with a very confused look on it. I had to cover her mouth to keep her from talking.
I heard voices and footsteps above us. "I want you to check ever nook and cranny of this house!" Agent Bennet yelled at his other agents. Ro buried her face in my chest and pulled on my shirt. Almost like she was trying to hide further. I rubbed her back. There was nothing we could do now, we were just going to have to wait it out and see if we were better at Hide-and-seek than they were.
(A/N: Ok so I'm thinking the next chapter will be the last one. You know that guy the "hologram man"? The one Zee had to morph into in "the hologram man" ep.? What's his name?
