Chapter4
By bitmaxmouse
Three weeks later, Severus found himself low on cash from buying food and books. Cecily was getting sick of buying food for him, so she decided to teach him how to cook. There were a few disasters. all of which were Cecily's fault (What kind of idiot didn't put a cap on, when turning on a full blender?), though she refused to admit it. He was the potions master, cooking was like second nature to him since it was so similar to potions.
Cecily dropped by his house and opened the door with the key she had nicked from him and made a copy of. He would have never voluntarily given that mad woman a key to his house.
"Come on!" She yelled from the entrance room. Severus. Well, it was Owen now, he had almost stopped thinking of himself as Severus for a while since he hadn't heard that name for over a month.
Owen stuck his head out and glared down at Cecily. "Why are you here so early?"
"Early? It's almost one o' clock!"
Own looked down at his watch, another thing Cecily had managed to get him to buy even though the house was covered with them. 'Oh god. Damned book, I knew I shouldn't have tried to finish it. ended up sleeping at five in the morning.'
Cecily must had read he his mind as he put a hand on her hips and clucked her tongue, "How was the book?"
"Good."
"Did you read it with the notes?"
"Yes. If I had read that book without it, I would have never known how twisted Lewis Carroll was. It was quite interesting though, even without the notes." He mumbled as rushed down stair while buttoning up the last few button on his cobalt blue shirt.
Cecily opened the jacket closet and shoved a jacket at him, "Its windy outside."
Owen grabbed the jacket and muttered about stupid overbearing neighbors as he tied his boots.
Then Cecily tossed him the keys, "You're driving, you need practice anyways."
Owen caught the keys and followed Cecily out the door.
~~~
Owen sighed as he waited for the person in front of him to finish withdrawing money. He had been standing here for nearly twenty minutes and Cecily was in the car sleeping. "Stupid - "
"Next!" The bank teller called out and motioned to Owen to step forward.
Owen put his elbows on the wooden platform, "I'd like to make a withdraw."
The lady with ugly glasses that resembled Rita the reporter's nodded, "Name."
"Owen Leigh."
"Do you have the account number and code?"
Owen nodded. The lady then pulled out a piece of paper and told him to fill it out.
Owen took a ball point pen (which was actually much nicer than a quill, since he never had to re-dip it and the ink flow was consistent, he had to remember to bring a few of these back to Hogwarts with him.) and filled out the piece of paper and the amount he wanted withdrawn. The lady nodded as she glanced at the paper and disappeared into the back.
She took a while longer than the other tellers and Owen was beginning to become more annoyed by the second. Finally she came back with an envelope. "There you are Mr. Leigh, one thousand dollars."
Owen nodded, signed a few more papers, took the receipt and shoved it into his pocket, and left.
As he entered the car, Cecily lay there sprawled across front seat snoring loudly. Owen gave an irritated growl and kicked her. She immediately sat up and glared at him. "nng!...Goddamit you bastard! Just tell me to wake up next time!"
Owen snorted, "But it's so much more fun using you as a soccer ball (something he had learned from watching T.V., though he would never admit to watching that silly color box that turned most humans into fat, grotesque zombies)."
"Stupid f*cker" Cecily rubbed the leg that Owen had kicked.
"Did I wake you from your beauty sleep?" Owen said with mock concern.
Cecily flipped him off.
"I'm just getting back at you for this morning." Owen put the key in, turned on the car, and started back home.
~~~ Meanwhile the bank teller closed her window and went back into the back room and traced her finger down the list.
"Good thing I tagged him." She murmured. She quickly rushed over to the phone and dialed a number she pulled out of a black book in her pocket. It was a book that every bank teller owned.
"Hello?" a voice asked on the other side.
"We got one." The teller said with glee in her voice.
"Oh?" The man on the other side sounded interested, "Who?"
"Leigh."
"Good job."
"Molly Wang."
"You will be rewarded."
"Thank you sir."
With that, the phone on the other side disconnected.
~~~
"What is it?" Owen asked as he glanced over to at Cecily. Her expression was dark and stony and she kept flickering her eyes towards the rear view mirror.
"There's someone following us." She murmured.
"What?" Owen's eyes grew wide. He glanced back and saw two men in sunglasses driving a silver Lincoln Mercury. At that moment he wished that he hadn't kept his magical belonging under his bed. They stopped at a red light. The car that had been following them sat two cars behind them.
Cecily put the car into park, "Hurry up, we're going to trade."
Owen nodded nervously as he awkwardly climbed over to the passenger seat as Cecily climbed into his seat. Soon the light turned green, being first car in the line, Cecily slammed the accelerator. She kept tabs on the black car as the speedometer inched towards 80 miles an hour. She quickly glided over two lanes and turned right just as the intersection light turned red., then she made a sharp turn, completely circling around the concrete island and started driving left, which had now turned green.
"You're insane!" Owen yelled as he gripped the handle and smashed into the door on his side.
"Oh yeah?" Cecily yelled, "Look!"
The men in the Lincoln Mercury ran the red light and cause three cars to collide together and started to speed towards them.
"Hang on!" Cecily yelled as she made a 180 turn with the car and started to drive straight at the car.
"What are you doing?!" Owen was yelling in fear now. He REALLY should have brought his wand.
She sped up, the two of their cars almost collided, but at the last second, the Lincoln swerved out of the way. However they were so out of control that the car skirted a large oak tree and lost it bumper. Cecily let out a gleeful laugh.
"You've done this before?!" Owen accused as he pointed his finger at her.
"Well yeah! I'm wanted in 28 countries! Of course I can out drive a couple of FBI agents!"
Suddenly their car lurched forward as the Lincoln bumped their car from behind. There was a bit of a traffic jam up front. Cecily made another sharp turn, this time she turn into a park just as the Lincoln collided at 100 mph into two cars in the jam.
"Lets get out of here." Cecily muttered as she looked in the mirrors to made sure that the Lincoln was out of commission.
They spent most of the drive back in silence. Owen still shaking a bit, he breathed deeply every few seconds to calm down. As Cecily passed by a sign with 'Madison 7 miles ' she quietly prodded Owen, "Do you know why those men were following you?"
"Me?" Owen sat up, "I thought they were following you! You're a hacker and everything. This wouldn't be your first time."
Cecily shook her head, "I got waived by the government when I started working for the defense company."
Owen shrugged, "I don't know why they were after me!"
But deep down he wondered if Voldemort still had left over Death Eaters that could have cast an Imperious Curse on some Muggle agents. 'I've only been in the Muggle world for two months and two weeks.'
Cecily chewed on her bottom lip as she contemplated the situation, "Wait, you went to the bank right?"
Owen nodded.
"Did they have you sign something?"
He nodded again.
"What'd you put down?"
"My name, address, social security number. oh, and these numbers that my grandmother left my mom."
Cecily quickly parked the car into the side of the road and held out her hand, "Let me see."
Owen handed her the folded paper. At first Cecily looked thoughtful, then her eyes widened suddenly as she noticed that the serial number was longer than usual and frowned, "You just activated an account owned by a government official."
Owen nodded, "Yeah, my grandmother worked for the Muggle government."
Cecily started the car and continued to drive towards Owen's house, "I bet you that she had something locked away that 'those guys' wanted. Something very important. Agents are usually more subtle than that unless they really want something."
~~~
The two of them quickly headed back to Owen's house. Owen brought out the two manila envelopes. And the letter. Inside, he was desperate to know what situation he was in. However, he made the mistake of forgetting what was written on it.
"What's a Pureblood."
"It's nothing. Just read the second paragraph." Owen called back as he pulled some food out of the fridge. Cecily read the paragraph back and forth about seven times, then she tossed it onto the table, "That's not really helpful. but wait." she murmured as she looked at the envelope.
Cecily quickly ran out of the house and came back in with her black laptop. She inserted the power plug into an outlet next to the dining table. He computer quickly booted and within seconds she was typing furiously. She the held up the envelope and muttered, "Owen Leigh." Then she turned and asked loudly, "This is your name right?"
"Yeah."
"Do you have any aliases?"
Owen hesitated for a bit, but decided it might be better to hand over the information if she could get him out of this, "Severus Snape."
Cecily nodded. But then she froze, "Oh wait. damn."
"What?"
"I probably can't find your grandmother because your last name comes from your father's side."
Owen shook his head, "My mom's last name is Leigh. My father's last name is Snape."
"Oh~ I see. Oh! Well then problem solved." Cecily clapped her hands together and rubbed them gleefully like a child. Seconds later the rapid sounds of clicking could her heard from her direction. Owen made two sandwiches; Cecily quickly polished off her while she kept one hand on the keyboard and her eyes never strayed from the screen, Owen on the other hand slowly ate his food as he tried to make out whatever she was doing.
Owen laid he head down on the table, quarter of a sandwich forgotten. The pain on his stomach still tinged sometimes. Not to mention the additional bruises he got from Cecily's psychotic driving. As he slowly started to fall asleep, Cecily tapped his shoulder, "Go to bed. I'm okay down here, I can tell you're in a bit of pain. Go, shoo. sleep."
Owen nodded listlessly and trudged upstairs to get some rest.
~~~
Suddenly at three in the morning Cecily burst in loudly, "Oh my god! You need to get packing!"
Owen woke up groggily, "What is it?"
"You're a dead man walking. Start packing now. We need to get the hell out of here!"
~~~ note: I start to use Severus Snape and Owen Leigh interchangeably now. But they are the same person. Sorry if you do get a bit confused. ~~~
"Why are you coming with me again?"
"Because the agents saw us together, they recognize me. They'll be after me too anyways. And besides, I'm probably in trouble now for helping you."
Owen glared at the dashboard that was glowing green and read 5: 47. "Could you at least explain why we're running away? You freaked out so much that I didn't even think why I followed your stupid orders."
Cecily was silent for a second and then she let out a shuddering sigh, something was really wrong, "Look I found out something about your grandmother. Annie Leigh. The government entrusted her to hold onto some very important Kennedy files. She was one of the few who had the vital files, it was spread out amongst several people over the years. Most of the entrusted people were loyal to those behind the assassination. Except your grandmother was a bit of a wild card. They didn't tell her what they had given her, but they told her to either hold onto the files or lose her job. Another condition was that she couldn't open the files to look at them, and even if she did they would have killed her if she breathed a word about it. "
Owen didn't respond, it was obvious that he didn't know whose she was talking about. "Okay, Kennedy was the 35th president of the U.S. He was assassinated somewhere during November of 1963. His case has been extremely controversial because after nearly fifty year, the public still doesn't know who killed him. I've read in some files that the men trying to cover up the controversy, some very powerful senators.."
Owen was silent, Cecily glanced over, "You getting this?"
He nodded, "Go on."
"The thing is though, the courts made an order a few years ago to reopen the case after the infamous JFK movie came out. The vast amount of petitions from the public demanded that they know what happened despite National Security. So in about fifty years the case will reopen. However, right now the evidence behind Kennedy's death is starting to disappear. Stuff like his brain matter, since it probably contradicted the law of physics with that ridiculous lone bullet theory."
Owen raised an eyebrow. "Lone bullet?"
"I'll get the movie for you. You'll get it. Anyways, let me finish." Cecily licked her lips, her mouth was dry from talking so much, "The reason why you're being chased it that they want to get rid of all the evidence and because you inherited the file, but you weren't included under the conditions of the contract. Only your grandmother and your mother were."
"Why didn't they get rid of it in the first place?"
"Because they gave it to her after the case was over, they figured, case closed, they had nothing to worry about. Then suddenly it's reopened a few years ago, they were kind of jittery at first, but when they realized that your family had gone 'missing'. They thought they had nothing to worry about. Then all of a sudden, you show up. Now you're their number one target."
"How did they know I showed up?"
"They must have kept tabs on all the banks that your grandmother had accounts in, the moment it was activated, one of the tellers would report it."
"Shit."
Suddenly a thought flittered across Owen's mind, 'I could use my potions and return myself to that slimy, sickly look.' He crawled into the back seat.
"What are you doing?" Cecily asked as she watched him from the rear mirror.
He pulled the latch on the back seat so that the trunk was accessible, "I'm looking for my potions. We can probably change our looks or something. now where is it.."
"Wait, you mean that huge trunk you left near the entrance?"
"Yes." Severus' heart froze, Cecily's tone was very suspicious.
"Uh. I left that behind."
"You WHAT?!" Severus screamed.
"I left that fucking heavy trunk behind! Did you not hear me?"
"WHY?!" His brain was starting to run a mile a minute, 'My potions, she left my potions.'
"Because we have to travel light! We might even have to ditch the car since I'm sure those agents have the license plate number down!"
"You left them behind! They could have saved us I could have changed our looks!"
"No, you could have changed YOUR looks, I'm a Muffle ("MUGGLE!" Owen yelled.) remember? You think I don't listen? I know that your potions won't work on me. And you aren't leaving me to take the blame you bastard. I swear to god, if you leave me behind and I'll tell them everything I know and I'll help them hunt you down. You know I can." Cecily's voice was vicious now, with no trace of the friendliness that she had shown for the last month.
Severus was hyperventilating, "My.. oh god."
"What is it?" Cecily gritted out between clenched teeth.
"My wand was in the. the trunk. We have to go back!"
"We can't! We're already out of Madison County! And we need to keep going! If we stop they'll find us!"
"We're going back!" Severus reached for Cecily's arm and they swerved on the highway.
Cecily screamed as she shoved Severus away, "You almost killed us bastard!"
"We need to go back, I need to get my wand!"
"Forget your wand! It's probably gone now!"
"What do you mean?!"
"You think those agent aren't already at your house? You think they haven't confiscated it already?"
"No!" Severus leaped forward again. A car honked loudly behind them as the car swerved once more. Cecil shoved Severus back and then opened the glove compartment and reached in. She pull out a Taser, turned it on and pressed it against Severus.
Severus let out a yell and then fell back limply.
Cecily let out an angry huff as she threw the Taser into the passenger seat, just close enough for her to reach. Then she turned her attention back onto the road and turned onto the lane towards Chicago.
"Idiot." She muttered.
Cont. Author's note: Eh.yeah that entire Kennedy part. ~_~ it's what happens when you mix drugs (medical. but drugs none the less) and JFK the movie

"No!" Severus leaped forward again. A car honked loudly behind them as the car swerved once more. Cecil shoved Severus back and then opened the glove compartment and reached in. She pull out a Taser, turned it on and pressed it against Severus.

"Idiot." She muttered.
