I slept the whole day and didn't wake until I heard a bang on my door. I
jumped out of bed and ran to my suitcase where my .22 was. I checked the
chamber and cocked it back when another round of bangs echoed through my
room.
"Sarah, Sarah you in there"
My heart raced, I could feel the sweat collecting at my brow. H9w could he have found me already? I didn't want to kill him, but God I will if I have to. I crept up to the door and unlocked the deadbolt, but left the chain on.
"Whose there1" I yelled out from behind the safety of the door
"Sarah, its Leon, you awake, we rolling out soon"
Slowly I opened the door and saw a pair of emerald eyes staring back at me. I closed the door, threw the gun in the drawer, undid the chain and opened the door.
"God I must have slept all day and night" I said rubbing my eyes
"You must have been tired"
"Yeah, guess I needed it"
He looked me up and down, licking his lips. He tried to be casual about it, but I caught on.
"Oh please, there's nothing sexy about sweats"
"If you say so," he said flashing me an innocent smile
"Whatever Leon" I said trying to contain my own smile. "How much time do I have"
"We're leaving in an hour"
He left and I took a quick shower and changed into a pair of baggy jeans, an oversized tee shirt and a pair of Reeboks. I was already downstairs loading Miss T up when Leon and Jesse came around the corner.
"HA, Leon you owe me fifty bucks" Jesse said jumping up and down
"What r u guys talking about"
Jesse just smiled" I knew that was your car, Leon didn't believe me"
I just laughed
"It's no Skyline, but she's fast, pretty, and corner's beautifully"
"Not bad, but she's no racer"
"I don't race, I drive"
"We'll see"
We checked out and were on the road by 5:20am. Leon was in front in the Skyline, me in Miss T, and Jesse pulling up the rear in the new _______ that they had just picked up.
We took the highway into the desert and flushed through most of it. I think Leon was trying to lose me or impress me, but he couldn't do either. I stayed with him, and even pulled up to him atone point
"Tryin to lose me?"
"Just want to see if you could hang with us:"
"I would pass your ass, but I don't know where I'm going" I said falling back in line. I could see he had a walkie-talkie and when I looked back, Jesse had one too. So they're talking about me. Fine, let 'm
Jesse and Leon on the walkie-talkies in between Sarah
'Hey Jess'
'Yeah'
'What did you find out about her last night"
'Nothing, she's clean, no arrests, no misdemeanors, only a few traffic tickets, want me to call Dom now"
"No, I will"
Leon picked up his phone and called Dom
"Yo Dawg"
"Hey Leon you got it"
"Yeah, plus picked up a girl, she's following us back to LA"
"Leon!"
"Relax Dawg, Jesse ran her plates, and she's clean, besides…. she's running form something, we met her in St Louis, and she's from Jersey…and I saw a nasty scar on her neck so…"
"SIGH… fine Leon, we'll check her out when she gets here"
"She's no threat Dom, I wouldn't bring her if she was"
"Just get home"
"Sarah, Sarah you in there"
