"I SAID TO STAY DOWN!" Buddy shouted as his foot slammed down on the gas. The second shot fired hit the trunk. His gut told him they were aiming for the tire, and he wasn't going to make it any easier for them. If I just get to Boulderhill or at least the police station they'll back off. Buddy gritted his teeth as he steered all over the road making it difficult for the shooter to lock onto its target. He turned his head to look back at Annie and Jess still hunched over, "You two ok?"

"Just peachy…I think this is the second time tonight Annie stabbed me in the back," Jess remarked as some of the glass shards cut through her delicate shirt and into her back.

Annie brushed the glass off the both of them, "Just focus on the road will ya!"

Buddy's eyes shift between the 3 mirrors. The first van sped up and started following directly behind his car. "Gee what the hell can that thing go up too…I'm already going 95 miles per hour!"

"Well they didn't exactly use all those plans Mayhem stole and instantly created assault vehicles over night." Roxanne buckled up and embraced for impact, "They started small by improving existing vehicles as test models."

"OH LIKE WE HAVE TIME FOR A CONTRA WORLD HISTORY LESSON!" Annie shouted, but went silent as the van rammed into the back of the car. The vehicle violently jerked forward, both Annie and jess heads hit the back of the front seats.

"I've told you girls you wear your safety belts…you should know that by now." Buddy grumbled as he made a sharp turn down a crossing road to avoid another attempt to ram.

"As I as going to say," She chuckled lightly, as Jess and Annie both got up and put on their safety belts, "Those are no ordinary vans, in fact they could probably do double the speed then this old piece of…."

"That's my car you're talking about." Buddy said defensively.

"Don't you have a gun?" Roxanne asked as she opened his glove compartment. She noticed a 9-MM handgun next to a box of condoms.

Buddy slapped her hand away and shut the glove compartment, "Don't open that!"

Roxanne face blushed with slight embarrassment, "Apparently somebody prepared for anything in the line of duty." Her joking attitude was shortly replaced with seriousness. " Why can't I take the gun out?"

"I won't have you sticking your head out the window and have to explain later to your father why I had to bring you home in a body bag." He argued.

Annie shouted, "Buddy to your right he's gaining on us!"

He glanced at his mirrors and only noticed two vans behind him; the third was in his blind spot coming up on his right side. The van made its presence known by slamming right into the side. The car jerked violently to the left by the force, yet Buddy was still in control. He pushed his car to the limit raising the speed up to 105 mile per hour. The passenger in the van attempted again to shoot out the back tired and succeeded. The tire blew sending the car out of control and swerving all over the road. The three vans stopped and watched patiently for the car to come to complete halt. Buddy tried to keep control of the vehicle, but instead it crashed into a ditch off the side of the road.

"DAMN IT!" He screamed as he hit the steering wheel. "GET OUT GIRL WERE GONNA RUN FOR IT!"

"Why can't we make a stand," Jess insisted ready to fight.

"Jess if you don't start running, I'm going to carry you over my shoulder." Buddy answered as he lead the three girls towards the open desert.

The three black vans parked right in front of the ditch. About a dozen men in black uniforms exited from those vans, and started gradually making their way towards them.

"Isn't this what you always wanted Jess," Annie remark taking a glance over her should, "A bunch of guys running after ya."

"Something tells me they're not my type," Jess replied

Buddy looked back at the girls who were dragging far behind him, "GIRLS PICK UP THE PACE."

Each of them shouted annoyed by his comment, "YOU TRY RUNNING IN THESE SHOES!"

Buddy turned around and ran back. There's no way were going to out run them. "Girls were just gonna have to duke it out."

"The numbers seem fair 12 to 4. Don't you think girls." Roxanne snickered slightly.

"We'll just have to even up the odds a bit," Annie smiled as she pulled out her knife.

"Here's they come," Jess remarked, as she stood in the middle of Annie and Roxanne in a fighting stance.

"You girls do realize this isn't a game," Buddy add suddenly being haunted by the Charlie's Angle's theme song.

One of the men in black shouted, "Remember bring them in ALIVE. Boss doesn't want them hurt!"

Roxanne advanced towards the guy mouthing out orders, "That's too bad because I'm intending to inflict some damage." Roxanne elbowed the guy in the gut, then did a leg sweep to knock him off his feet and flat on his back, and topped it off with a nice hard kick between the legs. The guy rolled just over to the side cringing.

"Come here you little brat," Another man shouted as he attempted to grab Jess.

She ducked below his grip and crawled right under his legs, "You guys are really lacking in the intelligence zone." With that remark to again his attention, Jess jumped up and did a sideswipe kick right to the guy's face as he turned around. He staggered back cover his face that stung from the powerful force.

Annie held her knife firmly in her hand as the thug circled about her carefully. He tried to surprise her by reaching for her other arm, but she spun away from him quickly, losing her trademark cowboy hat in the process.

"That was my favorite hat!" she yelled angrily as she adjusted a tighter grip on her knife.

"Aww, too bad," He taunted her, "Now, come on kid and put the knife away…we don't want you to get hurt now."

"Try to take it from me," She insisted. The man advance towards her, but as she swung the knife he jump back to avoid getting cut. "Too afraid to come at me? Well then I don't like to wait." Annie threw her knife at the guy leg. He fell to his knees in immense pain. Annie slammed her right fist right into the guy's face then yanked the knife out. The guy felt forward stun, "Don't mess with the one and only knife throwing champ of the Sierra Mountains."

Buddy was busy fighting off two goons. He threw a good boxing punch to the first guy's face, causing him to stumble off balance. The second guy was a bit stronger and had Buddy's head in a headlock. He laughed as he tighten his grip around Buddy's neck, "You won't get out little man."

"Want to bet on that?" Buddy remarked as he kicked his foot right into the kneecap. The larger man grunted in pain and eased his grip on Buddy just enough to let him slide out. Buddy then pulled his hands together in a fist and knocked the man out at the back of the head.

Just then all the fighting stopped when the sound of a gun being shot was heard. "I suggest you come along quietly, I'd hate it if I had to tell the boss one of our little friends couldn't make it to the party."

The remaining six men had their guns aimed directly on them. "Drop your knife," the thug ordered Annie.

She complied and dropped it on the ground, not far from where her hat still rested. "Yeah well we know when were beat."

Jess added softly, "Yeah when they bring the guns out."

The thugs patted them all down for any additional surprises. "Put the girls in one van…and him in the other." The thug remarked with excitement as he cracked his knuckles, "Well see if I can get some info out of him."

"Buddy!" Roxanne yelled worried as he was separated from the group.

"It's alright girls…just stick together." He remarked as he was forcefully thrown into the van.

"Get in!" Another thug shouted at the girl, "OR do I have to pick you up myself!" The three girls complied and sat down in the van uncertain to where the future might lead them.
