Chapter 2- The Getaway
"All I wanted was a normal birthday!" Jack yelled as he tried to avoid the frequent attempts by the car behind his own to run him off the road.
"This isn't driving miss daisy! Are ya trying to get us killed!" Sawyer yelled.
Jack was slammed against the wheel as they were hit from the back again. "Well, I'm sorry no one has ever tried to run me off a road before,"
Sawyer turned around. "You got to be kidding me, I'm driving,"
"What!" Jack yelled.
"You heard me, Keep your hands on the wheel." Sawyer demanded.
"We don't have time to…" Jack started.
Before he could finish Sawyer was already crawling up towards the front seat.
This time the car behind them rammed into them more aggressively than the first two times. Sawyer's head went slamming forward into the windshield.
"Shit!" he yelled. Blood started to trickle down his face.
Jack looked back at Sawyer alarmed.
Sawyer reached for the wheel, while Jack continued to drive, "Get over to the passengers seat,"
"What this car!"
"Crawl the hell under me!" Sawyer tried to ignore the enormous pain in his head. It was too much to bear.
Jack let go of the wheel as Sawyer took control. He quickly crawled under Sawyer and into the passenger seat with Kate. Why did he go for the alcohol. What a hell of a price to pay for one bruskey. Jack examined Kate's face.
Her eyes was closed, but she was fine. She probably had a minor concussion from the impact from the first hit.
"Buckle up, we're headed for the bridge."
Jack clenched his jaw, His heart was beating so fast, he felt like he was going to have a heart attack.
Sawyer stared straight ahead. How did these guys keep on finding him? Damn they were good. But he wasn't going to let them take him without a fight. Sawyer slammed his foot on the gas pedal.
"Woah," Jack said falling backwards into the dashboard.
Kate slowly opened her eyes. "Oh mi god!"
Jack looked back at her.
They were hit from the back again.
Kate screamed and grabbed onto Jack's shirt.
Jack reached for Kate's hands.
Sawyer glanced at them, "Well isn't that pretty?"
"Shut up and drive!" Kate ordered.
"Sure sweetheart," Sawyer watched in the rearview mirror at the other car tried to come onto the other side of them.
Kate gripped the door handle.
Jack reached for her hand, "As fast as this car is going, you don't want to do that."
Kate quickly let go of the door handle and then looked at Jack.
"They think they're smart, well I'm one step above em" Sawyer slammed on the break petal.
Kate was thrown forward onto Jack, and then Jack fell forward onto her.
Sawyer grinned wickedly as the other car tried to break. But it was too late, without the car Sawyer, Jack, and Kate was in to separate them from the bridge, they were screwed.
Loud piercing metal echoed throughout their ears as the car slammed through the rail.
Sawyer crawled into the backseat. "You drive,"
Jack watched in horror as the car balanced dangerously on the edge. The safety railings were doing little to keep the car steady.
As the guys inside tried to crawl to the backseat the weight shifted and the car went diving forward, into the watery grave below.
"That would've been us, if I let this hot shot keep on driving." Sawyer said with a laugh.
"We have to go," Kate said looking towards the shattered railing.
"Are you both crazy! A car just went over a bridge with two people inside." Jack reasoned.
"Two people that were trying kill us boy, drive."
"No," Jack said.
Sawyer pulled out his gun, "Do as I say,"
Kate stared back at Sawyer in fear, "You better do as he says."
Jack shook his head. This was unbelievable.
Kate placed her hand to her bloody head.
Jack looked back at her concerned, "You two need to see a doctor,"
"Ain't happening, we'll stop by the store and get some peroxide, and then we'll stop by the alcohol store and get some vodka because that peroxide ain't going to do shit for the pain,"
Kate raised an eyebrow, Out of all the cars she had to get in. Why this one.
Sawyer heard police sirens in the back.
Kate gasped and sunk low in her seat.
Sawyer pressed the gun into Jack's shoulder. Jack slammed his foot on the gas pedal and sped away.
"We need a new car," Sawyer said.
Kate placed her hand to her face. Great, she was a fugitive, in a car with an outlaw who everyone wanted dead.
Jack sighed, "When are you going to let me go?"
Sawyer placed the gun down, "Excuse me,"
"You heard me, when are you…"
"Your our designated driver," Sawyer said with a smirk.
Jack glanced at Kate worried, "Well you have to at least let her go,"
Sawyer smiled, "This little girl here ain't no hostage, if you don't remember she choose to get in your car. She's running away from something too, ain't that right lips?"
Kate groaned, If her head wasn't hurting so much she would show this guy what she could do with her fists. "Lips!"
"Yeah, you got some big ones. They ain't Angelina Jolie status but…they are sexy."
Jack rolled his eyes, "Leave her alone, we just watched two people die."
"Maybe your not getting it, they tried to kill us." Sawyer growled.
"Why do they want to kill you so bad?" Jack asked glancing up at Sawyer through the rearview mirror.
Sawyer shrugged, "It's too long of a story, Turn here,"
Jack did as he was told, and turned onto Honeymore street.
Kate looked around the shady neighborhood in suspicion. "Where is this?"
"My old girl's place, we're going to get some new wheels, some food, and I'm going to get some…don't worry about it."
Jack clenched his jaw. He had to find a way to get him and this woman away from this crazy man.
Kate glanced at Jack. She had to get away from this lunatic. She was in enough trouble with the law already, why did she want to add drug cartels to the list? What about him? Kate watched the "hostage", she couldn't just leave him. No she would save him too, and then she would find a way to Mexico. Yeah, that was the plan.
"Stop in front of the pink house,"
Kate winced. This was the ugliest house she had scene in her life. Pink paneling, Green curtains, and a tan roof.
"We'll stay in the car," Jack said.
Sawyer shook his head, "Yeah right, both of you are coming in."
Kate turned to Jack, "We'll getaway later tonight,"
Sawyer opened her door.
Jack nodded. "That's the plan."
(Hey guys thanks for the awesome reviews. I am continuing this story because of them! Thanks a lot. P.S. Oreta I'm glad that you are okay! I hope your car is too…or whoever's you were in…lol.)
