First, thanks everyone who reviewed...I know it's taken me some time to update, but I've been busy. I got a job as a waitress, and I had to deal with college stuff. But don't worry! I've finally updated!

Rob's Eyes Chapter 9

Rob's POV:

"HALT!" A deep voice bellowed into a microphone. I swore in my head. Why can't I just get in and get out when I break in to a government building?

"This is U.S. Government property. You are trespassing. Turn off your engines now." The guy continued. Um, no, I don't see that happening.

Just then, Frankie and Chick high fived each other as a ball of fired ripped apart the air, followed by an explosion. "Oh, yeah. We still got it." Frankie said triumphantly.

"WHAT WAS THAT!" Jess yelled.

"A helicopter." I said simply, accelerating the Indian. "Just a little diversionary tactic, to confuse the enemy."

I heard disbelief in Jess's voice as she spoke next. "You'll blow up a helicopter, but you won't go out with me? What is wrong with you!"

All this to bust a small boy and a psychic out of an infirmary. I thought, speeding through the parking lot towards the front gates. Microphone Government guy was behind us, yelling for us to stop.

Ha! Like I'm going to stop. I can get this bike up to 125 MPH if necessary. Looks like it's finally necessary...

About a hundred yards from the gates, we all stopped. Probably stupid to do, since we were so close. Especially since it gave yet another military guy a chance to get in our way.

The guy in the jeep behind us yelled for us to turn off the engines and put our hands up. I laughed quietly and threw the bike forward.

This old guy in a bathrobe came striding into our path, holding a microphone. "HALT! You are under arrest. Turn off your engines now." He shouted.

We sped up.

"Turn off your engines." the guy said. I don't take anyone seriously when they're wearing pajamas. "Do you hear me? You are under arrest. Turn off your engines now.

How about...NO?

The guards who usually stood there appeared, flanking the guy on both sides. I was proud of my help, not one of them turned off their engines. Wendell and Wylie let out whoops and raced faster towards the gates.

I nodded, gave the bike a violent jerk and all six of us raced towards the hole in the fence a couple of guys had cut, just in case.

And then, we were sailing out, past guards and military men, Jess's arms wrapping around me tighter and tighter.


I've come to the conclusion that military men never EVER give up.

The jeep followed us, soon followed by SUVs as we darted into corn fields. After a good half hour of darting between SUVs and stalks of corn, they were either called back to the base or decided to get us in the morning.

Either way, we were free. For the moment.

We all stuck to back roads, until I took Jess and the kid to my place. The guys probably went off to get drunk or relax or something.

We were quiet in the house, so Mom wouldn't wake up. I had the feeling she probably wouldn't like it if she woke up to find two fugitives in her house.

I took Jess to my room and told her she could sleep there. I gathered a few blankets for the kid and myself so that we could go sleep in the barn. Both Jess and Sean looked a little zombie-like as I gathered stuff up.


Out in the barn, Sean woke up slightly. He kept asking me all these questions about Jess and I- Was I her boyfriend? Did I want to be her boyfriend?- and after awhileI said, "Yeah. Jess is pretty dope. I want to, but I can't."

To which Sean said, "Why not?"

"It's complicated."

"She is dope, though."

"Yeah..." My voice kind of drifted off there, thinking of the girl I like sleeping up in my room. New subject! NOW!

"Time to sleep. No more questions." I said.

Sean was already asleep.


Hope ya'll enjoyed...I'll be more regular in updating, I hope...

XOXO
