Chapter Six: Freedom

After getting shot by about sixty guards which I shoved out of my way at the lobby, I was finally free. We headed out the door and I threw two police officers out of their cars and stole their car. We drove off at full speed, escaping all the other cop cars behind us. It was a wild chase, but I was a wild driver.

'Alright!!! Just how I like it! What a welcome-back gift!'

I grinned at the sight of the terrified Johns Harvard who had his seatbelt on and was clutching his fingers into his seat as if he was holding on for dear life. I on the other hand, had no seatbelt on and I was enjoying driving like a maniac. After ten minutes of a good ol' fashioned car chase; I found an alleyway too thin for any car. I still entered it, having a plan in my mind.

"What the hell are you doing?! You got a death wish?!" Harvard cried as the car got crushed advancing through the thin alleyway.

"Shut up!!" I exclaimed.

The car was so bashed it couldn't move any longer. The other police cars were approaching in line as their cars got destroyed as well.

"Time to get out of the car!" I declared.

"How?!?!?!" Harvard whined.

"Get out through the door, get on the roof, and jump off of the car." I replied.

I did as I said and waited for the wuss to follow.

"RUN!" I cried when we were both off the car.

We ran as fast as we could. I looked back, and saw all the cars crashing with ours and causing a chain reaction. In time, they all blew up. I could feel the heat of the explosion behind my ears. After the explosion was over; I stopped running and Harvard as well. We both bent down holding our knees and gasping for air.

"Great! Now what do we do?! The cops are cornering this entire area and you're only wearing those red silk pants from the asylum! And the back of my coat is burned! We're both going to attract attention!" Harvard continued to whine.

"Stop whining you old man. Lose the coat, and go to the slums. Find a dead-end alley near a warehouse. Knock on the door, password is simon says. Ask for Dr. Ridley. Tell him I sent you. Act cool, if they notice you're nervous you're dead."

"And why would I wanna go there?"

"You need a plastic surgery. Dr. Ridley is a plastic surgeon that operates with no questions asked. I met him 'cause he's in the same part of the slums that Devil Never Cry is in and he gave Trish a boob job."

"Why do I need plastic surgery? Shouldn't it be you who needs one?"

"I can take care of my own. You on the other hand…"

"Okay okay, I get it." Harvard finally understood.

"When you get the surgery go do me the test on the sedative. Remember, password is simon says and you need to keep cool if you wanna live. Now go!"

Harvard dropped his burned coat to the wet cement floor and walked away. I rested for a minute and then prepared to walk on the walls. I leaped into the air as fast as I could and ran on the walls until I reached the rooftop. I jumped from rooftop to rooftop following Harvard from above.

'Boy do I love the smell and taste of freedom!'
