Chapter 15

As the car pulled over, Jack and Kate had the suspicion that someone was watching them. It was the feeling that a person got when they were sitting for a public exam, or walking back home late in the evening. However, this was far more severe than those examples and they needed to get through this as fast as possible without being seen. This was almost impossible since as it was after six in the morning when people got up to go to work or school and to get ready for the busy day ahead of them.

'Jack, this isn't a good idea.' Kate shook her head, vigorously.

'Yeah, I know it isn't but it's the only choice we have.' Jack snapped back at her. They sat there for a moment, unsure of what to do and where to go. Then Kate thought of an idea.

'Maybe we should just go to a super market and leave the car somewhere else and you can hide in a bush while I go and get a few things to disguise us.' Kate said.

'How's that going to help?' shaking his head, Jack sighed heavily.

'Well, at least we're not just walking back into what used to be my house when everyone can see us. I mean, look at it!' she gestured over at the sight in front of them. At least five police officers were guarding the area from the front and they didn't even want to think about how many were at the sides and back. They were armed with walkie-talkies and weapons and there didn't seem to be a chance of them getting there.

'How are we going to do this?' Jack sighed once again in frustration. Just then, a brown, longhaired dog walked along and up to them. Kate recognised it and opened the window.

'Heya, Larry.' she said as she patted the ball of fluff with her hand. 'What are you doing here?'

'Wait... you know that dog?' he asked. She nodded and looked puzzled at the question. 'Then our plan might not be so difficult after all.' Jack grinned.

On the other side of town, two men and a woman came out of the hospital and sat down on a bench. Anyone that passed would have thought that they were just enjoying the lovely day outside, which was a drastic change from yesterday, but in fact it was quite the opposite.

'We're gonna get them. Whatever it takes, we're gonna get them.' Ana Lucia said forcefully.

'I wouldn't be so sure of that,' Roberts answered, 'Last time we said that look at how we ended up.' she flashed the remark gesturing to their damaged and bruised from the crash bodies.

'We'll get them. I just know we will.' Stanley interrupted and even though they did not reply back, the same thought stayed in their minds till the rest of the morning until they went back to the police station and their original jobs.

'Jack. Think about this sensibly. How do you expect a dog to be so clever and go and take the policemen's walkies and run away with them so they chase after him and distract them while we go and secretly creep into the house and back out again without anyone noticing us? This is the real world, not some wacky action movie.' Kate rolled her eyes and shook her head playfully.

'Well... we'll have to think of something else then.' he smirked.

'Okay, like what?' Kate pushed on further knowing that her idea would overcome any of his suggestions.

'I'm thinking!' he argued. After a minute of silence, Jack gave up. 'Okay. Fine then. We'll do your idea and get disguise from the super market.' he said annoyed but Kate was grinning away, totally forgetting about their problems.

One hour later

'Are you sure you know what you're doing?' Jack whispered as loudly as he could up at Kate who was climbing the wooden fence and landed down on the ground with a exhausted sigh.

'Yeah. It's clear, come on.' she whispered back and Jack soon followed her. Kate had sunglasses, her hair tied up in a bun and stuffed into a big hat that covered most of her face, and her long coat that she was wearing the previous night, but this time turned inside out so it was all black instead of red. Jack was wearing similar though darker clothing and a baseball cap.

They had previously abandoned the police car outside the supermarket and didn't exactly plan on getting it back since as the police could easily search them that way. They needed a vehicle, one where they wouldn't get recognised on and a motor home was the right one.

Plans were always difficult to make, especially between two different people but Kate and Jack needed to hurry up with their plan and possibilities since as time was running out. They had decided that they would go into Kate's neighbours garden and then Kate would get into the garden using the door that led to the kitchen which she suspected that no one was guarding because it looked old and it didn't look like anyone could even get through. However, she had a key and it was one way of getting in and out without any trouble.

'Will you be alright?' asked Jack. He got a small nod as a reply before Kate took out the key to the 'hidden' door and turned it.

Big thanks as always to those who reviewed but also those who carried on reading the last few chapters, you are all amazing. I just have one small note to add to: I probably don't live where you live and I called it a mobile home in the last chapter but people have corrected me saying it was a motor home. Just so no one gets confused, what I meant is a small truck with two or more windows and a bed with a few other things inside. Not a trailer (as you might call it) or anything else. So, I hope I haven't confused anyone by that but if there's something else that you are not sure about then just tell me. :) Thanks for reading, everyone and see you next chapter!
