Well, time for the suspense to end... for the time being! Here's a part that I'm sure will provide more substance to the fic! So, just sit back and read on!
Kira stared wide-eyed at the two men with evil smiles on their face for a moment.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH...!" she screamed.
She was letting out a soul-piercing cry that cause nearly everyone in the coffee shop to stop and stare. Meyers and Baldwin were both looking around uncomfortably. People started whispering among each other, concerned.
Almost immediately, Kira took off, rushing for the exit of the coffee shop. She pushed it open and ran off.
"Stop her!" Meyers said, pulling Baldwin along after him.
The two men rushed outside to the promenade to pursue the fleeing Kira. Kira herself was trying to get to her car. Once she made it, she ducked down on the side, peering through the windows of the vehicle to see if Meyers and Baldwin were around. She did not see them anywhere, so she assumed that it was safe to try and enter her vehicle now. But just as she was reaching for her keys in her pocket...
...someone grabbed her arm, quite firmly.
"Alright, no more fucking around!" Meyers said furiously.
Baldwin grabbed her other arm. "You comin' with us, li'l lady!"
"STOP! LET ME GO! SOMEONE HELP!" Kira cried.
"I'd hold my tongue if I were you, Ms. Sykes." Meyers threatened. "I've got a loaded handgun tucked against my hip. You cry out for help or try to escape, and I'll paint the pavement with your brain!"
Kira felt like her blood had frozen after hearing this.
"You're coming with us back to our temporary sanctuary, where we will decide what to do with you! And then we'll go about tracking Subject SR-724!" Meyers said.
"N-no..." Kira said. "...please don't do anything to Aster..."
"Aster?" Baldwin said. "You namin' somethin' after my son?"
"Son?" Kira asked.
"QUIET!" Meyers snapped.
"Yeah, my son, Aster Baldwin!" Baldwin said. "Either you or one of your little guy-friends murdered him in cold blood! And I think you have to pay for what ya did!"
Kira was totally shocked that this man... was the father of Aster Baldwin, her former crush.
"Enough dabbling! Let's move!" Meyers said.
The two men pulled Kira along, forcing her to walk with them to wherever it was they were going. Kira was scared out of her mind right now. What were they going to do to her? How did they escape prison? How did they arrive back here on Earth? Right now, none of this stuff matter to her... since she wanted to get as far away from them as possible first.
They came to a stoplight, preparing to cross the street with a group of people. None of the people seemed concerned about the two men holding Kira's sleeves tightly.
"Remember, Ms. Sykes... one sound..." Meyers silently warned.
As they stood, waiting for the light to change so they could cross the street... Kira happened to notice a woman right in front of them. This gave her an idea...
She looked at Meyers, and noticed that he was looking off into the distance away from her. And then she turned to Baldwin, and noticed his attention being shifted elsewhere, too. This might just be what she needed in order for it to work.
She sighed. Please forgive me, ma'am... she thought.
Carefully, Kira brought her hand up to the woman's buttocks... and lightly slapped twice, just before instantaneously returning to her casual position. The woman brought her own hand to where Kira slapped her, and turned to see Baldwin... who just so happened to be facing right at her as she turned. The woman's eyes went wide as she gasped. Baldwin raised a brow.
"What's with you?" he asked.
The woman scrunched her lips together, punching Baldwin and knocking him to the ground, causing him to release Kira's sleeve.
"What the...?" Meyers uttered.
"He touched you!" Kira said, pointing to Meyers.
"WHAT?" Meyers asked.
It was all he could manage to say, just before the woman decked him as well. He let go of Kira as well, clutching his face, just as Baldwin was. Both had been disoriented from the sudden punch.
"Thanks!" Kira said to the woman, who smiled and nodded at her.
Immediately, Kira began to try and make her getaway once again. This time, however, she was not going to make the same mistake of going back to her car in plain sight of the two. She had to lose them, and fast, especially since they noticed she took off.
"Stop her!" Baldwin said, standing back up and rushing.
"Don't let her get away!" Meyers added, following quickly behind.
Kira ran as fast as she could, trying to the best of her ability to dodge the shoppers of the outdoor mall. It did not help that the place was rather busy, but on the plus side, it slowed down the two large men. Their fairly large builds were not as agile as Kira's slim figure, especially since she had quite a high range of motion and superior precognition thanks to her being younger than them.
She was rushing through the traffic, which caused some people to slam on their brakes and honk at her. But she did not pay any mind to these people... and apparently, neither did the two escapees. Eventually, she managed to make it to an area of market stalls, with some merchants loudly announcing the sales of their wares. One in particular caught Kira's attention.
"Charm bracelets! Get one for someone special in your life!" the merchant said. "Two for ten dollars! Four for fifteen! This sales ends in just a few minutes!"
Hastily, Kira stopped running and pulled out her wallet.
"I'll take four!" Kira said.
"Okay, that'll be fifteen on the nose!" the man said.
Kira looked back where she came from to see that Meyers and Baldwin were catching up.
"There she is!" Meyers said.
"STOP HER!" Baldwin added.
Quickly, Kira gave the man the money, and took four pre-charmed bracelets.
"Thanks!" Kira said.
"Thank you, young lady!" the merchant said. "Have a good day now!"
I wish... Kira said as she rushed off again.
She knew what she would have to do with the bracelets... but the key here was timing. With a great deal of strength, she managed to rip the steel chain that held the spherical charms on each bracelet, and let them fall loose into her hands. Once she made it into a clearing where she could round a corner, this is when she made use of them.
Checking her back to see that Meyers and Baldwin were now getting closer due to the lack of people around, she hastily released the charmed behind her, causing them to roll and spread around in her wake. After getting them all on the pavement, she sprinted at full power towards the corner she would round and hopefully lose them from.
Meyers and Baldwin tried to keep up with her... but they ended up slipping and falling to the pavement on the stainless steel, sphere charms.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Meyers shouted as he lost footing.
"WOOOOOOOOAH!" Baldwin screamed as the very same happened to him.
They hit the ground hard, and wound up stunned from the impact. They could not get back up right away. Kira looked back, smirking in delight as she ran around the corner, out of sight from the two. Immediately, she raced back to her car, unlocking it, revving it up, and driving away.
She still could not overcome the immense level of shock that she had endured in that moment. Meyers has escaped from prison! He also had a partner, no less!
"This is not good..." Kira said. "...I have to warn Kai and Sam!"
She drove well above the speed limit... but thankfully, no cops pulled her over on her way back.

Meyers and Baldwin were both left in the promenade, trying to find Kira, but they found that her car was gone.
"Shit! What are we gonna do now?" Baldwin asked. "She might call the cops on us!"
Meyers pondered for a moment. "...No, she won't."
"Why not?" Baldwin asked.
"Because she knows it won't do any good! We can easily outwit the police with the proper techniques!" Meyers said.
"But still... she got away." Baldwin said.
"This is not a big deal." Meyers said. "She only bested me last time because I underestimated her. Now that I know her style, and what she's capable of, I believe we can outwit her! There is not a plan she can come up with that I cannot counter!"
"So," Baldwin began. "how are we gonna go about finding her?"
"Oh, I have a few tricks up my sleeve..." Meyers said.
He reached into his pocket... and pulled out a USB jumpdrive.
"What's that?" Baldwin asked.
"You'll see... all in due time..." Meyers responded.
Well, this can't be good, can it? Wonder what's gonna happen with the two parties from here on out? Anyways, thanks for the continued support! It's always appreciated! I'll see you all soon! Keep holding on...
