SILENCE

Chapter 4: Caught, The Chase and Compromise

Previously:
Back at the restaurant, Kendra walks up to Derek. When he sees her he smiles and puts his paper down. "Did you offend someone?" asks Kendra without a hello or without even sitting down. Derek gives her a questioning look. "Why?" he asks. "It looks like someone is taking revenge on you," she said turning her head towards the window. He turns to look at what she is looking at and sees Casey pouring noodles all over his car.

Derek gets up from his seat and pushes Kendra into the seat. "Wait for me." As he darts outside. "I'll be back right away." Casey is still pouring the noodles onto his car with her back towards him. Derek grabs the pot from her and throws it on the ground. She looks at him very smugly. Not far from them Sam lifts his head up from the steering wheel. Derek looks at Casey in bewilderment. "I'll treat you to dinner." She motions. "What…what are you doing?" he yells at her and pulls her into the car. "Get in the car. I'm taking you to the police." He shuts the door behind her. Sam sees this and tries to unbuckle himself but is having trouble. Derek runs to the other side of his car as his driver comes up to him. "Mr. CEO, I'm sorry." "You're fired." He answers him in anger and gets in the car. Sam finally twisted the seatbelt from him and gets out of the van. He runs after them but they already drove off, so he runs back to the van and tries to turn it on. "No way!" He tries and tries again to start it. Derek and Casey are speeding down the road. Derek still fuming starts talking. "I really don't understand. Didn't you go to school or something?" he glances at her. "Don't you know anything about manners?" Casey looks at him mad and gasps. "You are the one without manners!" she motions. "Uncle John only wanted to save you money. That's why he clocks in and out right on time. The card machine is next to his desk, did you know that?" Derek exhales. "You think you've got guts." He says. "so that's why you're taking revenge on me, huh? Why didn't you tell your friend to work harder?" Casey looks at him in disbelief. "It's because you are blind, you can't see the good people." She motions angrily. Derek looks over at her and stops her hands. "Hand..hand gestures. I don't understand what you are doing." She takes her hands away. "You are the one who is wrong." She motions furiously. Then she sits back in the seat also fuming as they stop on the stop light. Derek closes his eyes and breaths deeply, rubbing his eyes. Casey looks over at him smug. People in the next car look over and laugh pointing fingers. She takes out her cell phone that Sam gave her and types in a message. She shows Derek. "You better wash your car soon. Once dries it's hard to get it off." She takes back the phone. No way, this can't be so coincidental. Derek thought looking away from the phone. Casey smiles smugly.

Somewhere in the distance, Sam is trying to get through the traffic in the van. He honks at the cars and looks from side to side looking for Casey. He was getting really frustrated with the car inform of him. Finally he was able to pass the car and Sam zoomed off. Casey and Derek sat silently in the car as the car was washed at the car wash. Sam was driving frantically, when the red light came on. He pressed the breaks with all his might. Just then he saw a very old man taking 1 inch steps, crossing the road, as the light turned green. "What? I can't believe this." Sam gets out of the car and hurries to help the man cross faster. "Come on. Be careful. Come on." He gets him far enough. "Be careful ok? Bye Bye." And Sam runs back to the van. "The evidence is gone." Casey shows Derek her cell phone where she typed the message. "The police can't do anything now." Derek looks at her as she continues to smile smugly. Derek looks away and smirks. Casey looked over and was about to open the car door, when he locked it. She looks at him in shock. Derek sighs. "Who said we were going to the police?" he says. Casey stares. "We can change our direction." Derek continues looking at her. Derek bends towards her reaching toward her. Casey sinks into the seat shutting her eyes tightly. Derek takes her seat belt and buckles her up. He looks at her in disgust and sits back in his seat. Casey breathes deeply. "We can go. To a place. A place where no one is around." He says buckling his seat belt. She looks over at him in horror. He smirks looking at her. "And then sexual pleasure." Casey starts to fidget in her seat and breathes faster. Casey takes out her cell phone wanting to type something, but he takes it away, turns it off, and throws it in the back seat. Casey gets nervous. "Let me get out." She motions. "I really hate people interrupting me." Derek states. "especially when my hormones are in action." He continues fixing his tie and driving off again. In the distance, Sam is still looking for them and looks at his cell phone. "Casey McDonald, why aren't you calling? Where did you go?" he asks out loud. He continues to honk and drive frantically. Casey and Derek reach a point in the mountains when Derek stops the car. Derek slowly unbuckles his seat belt, sliding it between his fingers in slow motion. Casey stares in horror. Casey quickly scrambles for the door. Derek looks over. Casey opens the door and tries to get out. Realizing that the seat belt is still holding her she reaches to release herself and Derek reaches past her causing her to cringe back again shutting her eyes. His face was 2 inches away from hers and she could feel it on her cheek. She felt the release of the belt and gasps opening her eyes. Derek sits back in his seat smirking. "The view is pretty good." He says casually. "The atmosphere is not bad. It really is a good time for sexual pleasure." Casey looks at him furiously. "But. It's too bad." Derek continues. "I'll just have to hold back for now." He said looking over at her. She raises her hand to slap him but her grabs it. "What? Don't tell me you are regretting?" He says. Casey stares and pulls her arm away from his. She stomps out of the car. She slams the door shut and walks around the car to leave. Derek gets out and runs to stand in front of her. She stops and Derek looks at her. "I haven't finished talking. I don't like it when people just stand up and leave." Casey doesn't look up at him. "I don't care if you really hate me." He continues. He takes her shoulders and turns her toward him. "Can we just forget about this whole thing?..If you don't look at my mouth, how would you know what I'm saying? He asks her. He lifts her chin with his hand while the other is on her shoulder, but she closes her eyes and then opens them.

A moment passes between them. Casey looks at his eyes, and Derek at hers with his hand still lingering at her chin and the other on her shoulder. Slowly he lowers his hand from her face and looks at her with a confused expression. Casey stares calmly at him. Suddenly she has a flashback.
