Chapter 4
Just as Sora and Bobby reach her car the cops swarm in surrounding the area. Sora growls and jumps in the car, Bobby gets in as well.
"You may want to put your seatbelt on, this is going to be a bumpy drive." Snaps Sora as she turns the key in the car and the engine roars to life. She shifts gears and speeds off heading right for the cops.
"Sora your nuts." Yells Bobby as he watches the cop cars.
"I don't want to be thrown in jail and I doubt you do to, so just sit back and let me do what I'm good at." Replies Sora calmly as she puts down her window and pulls out her gun. She points it at a cop car and shoots out the tire closest to her. The cops car spins out giving her a clear path through. A couple of other cars are right behind Sora and follow her out, once they reach the main road they all split up.
"Sora are you a Black Heart?" asks Bobby as he tries to breath.
Sora just shrugs and gets on the highway, heading for Bobby's place. The finally get to Bobby's place and they see Nick sitting on the hood of a car. Sora slams on the brakes and parks the car, she gets out and runs to Nick yelling, "How did they know we were there?"
"I don't know Sora but the cops are everywhere tonight. I followed you out of there, nice shooting. We can't hang around for very long." Replies Nick calmly as he slides off the hood of his car.
Sora turns around and looks at Bobby who is now out of the car and walking up behind her. "I'm sorry Bobby, I know you were looking for a party."
"Sora it wasn't your fault. I just am amazed you were so calm during that. I almost pissed my pants." Says Bobby with a nervous chuckle.
Off in the distance sirens can be heard.
Sora pulls out one of her guns and holds it out for Bobby, "Take it, you may need it."
"Sora we have to go." Says Nick as he walks around to the drivers door to his car.
"Bobby take it, I will see you at school tomorrow. Give me the gun back then." She yells shoving the gun in his hands.
Bobby takes the gun and nods. Sora smiles and puts her right hand around Bobby's neck and pulls him down and she kisses him lightly. Nick honks his horn seeing the cops at the end of the street.
Sora breaks the kiss and looks at Bobby with a smile before running for her car and jumping in. Both her and Nick speed off down the street leaving Bobby standing there on the edge of the road. At the end of the street Nick and Sora split up and the cops speed by Bobby. Bobby smiles and runs for his front door, with Sora's gun in his hand.
"Nick I can't shake these fucking cops." Says Sora into her phone as she drives through the streets of Reedington.
"I know I can't either. They are really out to get us, but I don't get why."
"So where are we going to go, I'm running out of gas and it's one in the morning. I'm tired and grumpy."
"We can't get caught, wait Sora are the cops following you backing off?"
Sora looks in her rearview mirror, "Yeah they are. Why now?"
"I don't know, just slow down and dive the normal speed limit. Meet me at the school ok."
"Sure thing Nick." Says Sora before she hangs up her phone and slows down. Her phone rings and she picks it up and sees it's her father. "Yeah dad?"
"Did the cops just back off you for no reason?"
"Yeah they did and Nick too. Why were they at the party?"
"Someone tipped them off. Where are you?"
"I'm heading for the school to meet Nick, should we come home?"
"No, I want you to go back to your friend Bobby's place and stay there. It seems safe enough."
"How would you know?"
"I followed you, but I'm somewhere else now."
"Oh that wasn't nice dad. Ok I see the school, me and Nick will head for Bobby's place. But we don't have clothes for tomorrow."
"Yes you do. When I was checking out his place Bobby saw me, I gave him your things and Nick's. He knows your coming."
"Fine I will talk to you later." Says Sora before hanging up her phone. She stops in front of the school and sits in her car waiting for Nick. A few minutes later he comes around the corner and stops beside Sora, they both put their windows down.
"Hey so where are we going?"
"Bobby's. Dad called just after I hung up with you and told me to go there with you. Bobby knows we are coming and he has our clothes and stuff for school tomorrow."
"We should change our plates."
Sora shakes her head. "Come on I'm tired."
Nick nods and they head for Bobby's.
Bobby sits in his room watching out his window for Nick and Sora. When he sees them pull into his driveway the runs downstairs and opens the front door to see Sora and Nick standing there.
"Your parents won't mind?" asks Nick as they step into the house.
"My parents are in America. Come on, you guys have got to be tired."
Sora wakes up and looks around the room, she sits up with a start remembering what happened the night before and where she was. She looks around and sees she's in Bobby's room. She looks at the clock and sees she only have half an hour to get to school. She screams and jumps out of bed and sees her uniform on a chair with her other clothes and her guns on the floor neatly. She gets dressed and runs down stairs to see Bobby and Nick in the hall.
"It's about time you woke up." Says Nick with a smile as he tosses Sora her backpack and heads for the door.
"Um, thanks for letting me sleep in your room Bobby." Says Sora as she walks out of the house.
"No problem. Come on let's go to school."
They all get in their own car and head for school.
Lexus steps into a dimly lit room and sees Xander and Yelen sitting at a table. "Why am I here?" demands Lexus.
"You are hear because you couldn't be there. We told the leaders a story about a new threat from an old threat to mislead them so they would send you here." Says Yelen as she looks at the girl before her.
"So why am I here?" snaps Lexus.
"You are to kill someone for us." Says Xander.
"Who?"
"This is who you are to kill. Trust me he goes to your school, he is of great importance to our rivals. You must kill him." Says Yelen as she pushes a picture across the table.
Lexus steps forward and picks up the photo, "This is Alas."
"So you know him?" asks Xander.
"Yeah he's in combat class with me, Nick and Sora. Sora beat him when they sparred. So I have to kill him?"
"Yes. Then Nick will kill someone and then Sora. This has to be done Lexus and soon. We do not want it to be known that it was a Black heart who killed him. I know you can kill without leaving evidence." Says Yelen softly.
"Yes I can do it with no evidence. When do you want it done?"
"Tonight. You are flying back as quickly as possible. Do not let anyone see you until you have killed him. Then you can go home to your family." Says Xander.
Lexus nods and leaves the room.
"Think she can do it?" asks Yelen after Lexus has left.
"She can and will do it." Replies Xander as he sits back in his chair and looks at the photos in front of him. "They will all do it."
