Chapter 11

With no time to think, Jack looked at the bunch of police officers in front of him, and turned around to run away, with Kate closely behind him. This was close, very close. He was sure that there were more of them and they could surround him easily.

They ran as fast as they could, dashing through the trees. Hardly any breath was left now, but they had to keep going. The police were right behind them and even the smallest milisecond could cost a lot.

Kate was slowing him down. She didn't have the right clothes or shoes on and it was very difficult to run. But even though she was slower than Jack, he still thought she was pretty good at running.

'Aah!' Kate screamed as a strong arm gently touched her from behind, but couldn't reach her completely. One of the police officers was just a second behind them and they had to keep going. With that in mind, Kate sped up, concentrating on the trees in ahead of her, and running as quickly as she could.

Jack looked at her, shocked that she overtook him. Despite the serious situation, he laughed and sped up as well and soon overtook her again. He grinned proudly, and carried on running with the same speed.

Kate gave out a frustrated sigh and beganto run faster, trying her best to catch up with him.

Soon this turned into a little game; one of them running, the other one overtaking... They completely forgot that they were being chased by the police and continued running. But they soon came back to reality when one of the police officers took Kate's arm, roughly, and she was immediately pulled back.

When Jack heard her terrified scream and saw that she was no longer next to him, he turned around and punched the police officer with his fist, forcefully and he quickly fell to the ground.

Luckily, the other policemen were far out behind them so they had a chance to catch their breath before they dashed through the woods once again. They quickly stopped when they noticed that the woods stopped here and they were facing a large motorway. They both focused on the same thing at the same time: a police car right in front of them with no one inside. They looked at each other and they realised that they were both thinking the same thing.

They quickly went over to the police car and Jack got in the drivers seat whereas Kate sat down next to him. He looked around the car: pretty stylish he thought and nodded as they both laughed.

Another police car was a few metres behind them. And as the police officers who were chasing them, saw the motorway and the two criminals getting in the police car, they did the same.

Jack adjusted the rearview mirror and saw the face of an angry and frustrated officer staring straight at him with an evil look in his eyes. That was when he started the engine and drove off.

The other police car did the same. At this point, both groups realised that this wasn't going to be as easy as they first planned it to be.

So sorry for the shortness of that chapter! Please forgive me. But thanks to those who reviewed, again. :D You are the best. Anyway, I hope that you enjoyed that chapter. I know that it may be a bit unreal for them to escape so many times, but there is a very good reason for that and things will soon change. So, thanks for reading, and since as you have got this far, please leave a review?
