CHAPTER 3: CONVINCING CINDY
James and Cindy drove into Washington which was a fifteen minute drive. The Government had given James a sweet red convertible to drive so he wouldn't have to take his dangerous hovercraft. The government refers to all of James' experiments as dangerous.
James and Cindy got to Washington D.C. at about noon. "Where should we go?" Asked Cindy.
"I don't know. He said that they would find us." Suddenly, sirens went up behind James' car. James pulled to the side as the government car pulled up to the drivers side of him. In the drivers seat, driving, was Shawn Jones, a big black man who looked like he should be a bodyguard. He was about 35 and had a shaved head.
"James," he said, "what took you so long?"
"I had to get ready. I was still asleep when you called."
"Just follow me." The government car sped off and James followed. About ten minutes later, James and Cindy pulled up behind Shawn in the Pentagon parking lot. Shawn stepped out of his car and gave a wave for Cindy and James to come over.
"Hey, Shawn, you could have just told us to meet you at the Pentagon."
"That would have been to dangerous. You were being followed."
Cindy finally piped up. "It's not like people don't know where the Pentagon is." Shawn turned to Cindy with a glare that could cut through glass.
"Cindy, you should go home. Go home, pack up your stuff, get Libby and Sheen, and get out of town. Go to New York or somewhere far away."
"Wait, why do I have to stay and Cindy gets to go?"
"Cindy, you need to leave." James pulled Shawn to the side so Cindy couldn't hear.
"Shawn, why are you telling Cindy to leave."
"Because if you die in a nuclear blast, we need Cindy to come in and be your replacement. That's why she needs to get far away."
"A nuclear blast?"
"I'll tell you later."
"Why does she need to get Libby and Sheen?"
"Well, Libby is my daughter and she won't go without Sheen. Duh!"
James and Shawn turn around and face Cindy, who is now very angry. James pulls his car keys out of his poket and holds them up to Cindy. "Go. Take my car." As James pulls his pager off his belt, Cindy hastily grabs the keys away from him. "I'll beep you if I need you." Cindy takes the pager from him. James walks up to hug Cindy but she turns around and walks to the car. She then starts the car and drives off.
