Hiya! So sorry that I haven't updated for a while, I have been concentrating hard on my other story, that's why. But here is the next chapter for you! Thanks for the reviews, and enjoy:)
Chapter 5
Jack's hand was shaking as he looked back a few times, sure that the police were following them and were going to catch up with them any minute now. He started to panic.
'Drive faster.' he ordered with a shaky voice and Kate obeyed. As much as she hated all this, she didn't want to get caught. Kate pressed on the pedal as much as possible and the car swerved from side to side. Thankfully, it was night and so there weren't many vehicles around and their car could move freely but it was still slippery from the huge cloud of rain that had just fallen. It was completely dark now, and Kate needed to squint her eyes so as to not crash into something.
They were almost sure now that they had lost the police. No siren was heard behind them and there were no cars to be seen which calmed them both down but they still kept on the lookout for any signs of a police car.
The relief was clearly visible from both of their faces and they could not contain the happiness inside of them. Jack laughed and Kate smiled at him, thankful that they had got away. They carried on driving through swerving roads until they came to a shop that was open during the night.
'We should stop here and get something to eat.' Kate said. She looked at her watch: 01:16. It was about two or three hours since they had met, but the whole adventure that had happened tonight made it seem like much more. To Jack, it was just another day: running away from the police. To Kate, it was a whole new experience. Of course she knew all the medical equipment at the hospital but this was different, and strangely enough… she was getting used to it.
'Yeah. But we'll have to be quick and make sure that we don't get noticed by many people.' He explained and Kate nodded. It had been only around an hour since they last ate, but they were starving right now.
'Let's go.' She said and they ran inside the shop. They looked around the shop and quickly chose a sandwich each and Kate paid for it without saying anything. Then they got back into the car and started eating.
'You never told me… what do you work as?' Jack asked, curiously.
'I'm a spinal surgeon.' She said, not really paying attention. Then she mentally kicked herself: Why am I even telling a stranger all this?! She thought.
'Huh. Funny.' Jack scoffed. 'That's exactly what my dad wanted me to be. Made me do all the education. I would have been a surgeon as well by now if I hadn't… you know.' He stopped realising where he was going.
'Yeah. It's strange.' Kate answered as she stopped munching for a second. She looked at him again. He really didn't seem like a murderer. He seemed exactly the opposite, actually. But of course it would be difficult to tell when she's only known him for such a little time.
She looked down again, and carried on eating her sandwich. She realised that she would have to drop him off somewhere; that was the deal.
'So… where do you want me to drop you off?' she asked.
Cortez sighed.
'We've lost them again. Tell the station to trace them and send the location of them to us, again.' She ordered and waited a few minutes for them to find it out and buried her face in her hands.
'That's impossible. It tells us that they are… just around the corner of this shop?' Stanley said as he looked at the shop in front of them.
'Good. Let's go then.' Roberts said as he began to start up the car.
'Do you think that…. This woman might be working with him?' he asked, doubting the whole situation. Cortez scoffed.
'Don't be stupid. She is someone under hostage, that's all. There is no way that she can be working together with him.' She said but began to doubt it, as well.
'Let's just go. We can do all the talking later.'
Jack took a minute to consider Kate's question. He completely forgot what she was here for; he actually thought that for a moment… he had somebody on his side. But of course she would want to go back to her home and carry on with her life, what was he thinking?
'Uh…I don't' know. You can choose.' He simply said. Kate looked out of the window and sighed. Just at that moment a siren was heard once again and they looked towards each other, with alert faces. This time, the police were really coming and if they didn't get away with it soon, they would both be in trouble.
With one simple look from Jack, Kate nodded and knew what to do. Without looking back, she started the car engine once again.
Okay, so the police are after them again but Jack and Kate are not going to get out that easily this time. Something is going to happen and Kate will have to go with Jack whether she likes it or not. I'm not saying what though, you'll have to wait till the next chapter!
