Days pass. They feel more like weeks. They barely feed us. They hope that little food would make the interrogation go according to their plans. Miles came around three times today, with not even a word exchanged. Damian turned to me. "Look!" He pointed to the door.
I looked. Miles is here. He has a young girl with him. She has long blond hair and blue eyes. "This is Siska, my sister. I've made my decision. I'll join your side, against the committee," he told me. Miles stuck a hand in his pocket and pulled out a keychain with like a billion keys on it. He picked a shiny blue one and stuck it into the cell lock. It opened. Damian and I stepped out. "Follow me," Miles said.
Miles led us to the Mach 5. Next to it was a sharp looking red car with white, black, and yellow stripes. "This is my ride," he told us.
"Where to?" I asked after Damian and I got in.
"Follow my lead," Miles spoke. He started his car and sped off. Damian and I followed close behind. We were halfway to the academy when someone started shooting out of nowhere. "Go! I've got them covered!" Miles shouted.
"No! You can't take them on by yourself!" I interjected.
"Neither could you, yet you risked your own life to infiltrate the committee!" Miles spoke back.
Just then, lasers shot out and landed a blow on the back of Miles's car. His car spun out of control and crashed on some rocks. I used the Mach 5 laser to take out the goons. Once the coast was clear, I pulled in next to the wreckage of Miles's car. I pried open the door. Miles is unconscious. He has scratches to his face, arms, and legs. His right wrist is twisted at an angle, obviously broken. Siska is alert. She only has a few scratches. I unbuckled Miles from his seat and put him in the passengers seat. Damian had vacated the seat knowing that I'd want Miles close enough for me to protect him. I brought Siska to the back seat. Two miles from the academy, Miles started to stir. He groaned with the pain and opened his eyes. "Speed Racer?" He gasped.
"Yes. Stay still. Your wrist is broken," I told him. He closed his eyes as his breath evened out. Not long to go now.
