Chapter 4

Barry returned to his hotel room. That night he had a horrible nightmare. He dreamed that he was trapped in a steel box, and the walls were closing in. When he vibrated out of the box in his dream he vibrated through the bed. That morning Chance and Winston came to pick him up, and saw him unconscious on the floor. Chance ran over to check his pulse, and was relived to find he was alive. However his pulse was weak.

"What happened here?" Winston

An hour later he woke up.

"Are you ok?" Chance

"I don't know. What happened?" Barry said as he sat up.

"We were hoping you could tell us." Winston

"What was the last thing you remember?" Chance

"I went to bed and had a nightmare. I dreamed I was looked in a steel box. I must have vibrated through the bed." Barry

"You almost died because of a nightmare." Winston

"We need to do some thing about this now." Chance

"But what could you do?" Barry

"I'll make some calls." Chance

When they walk out of the hotel people start shooting at them. Chance and Barry duck behind a car for cover. Chance pulls a gun and fires back. Winston takes cover and fires back.

"Who is shooting at us this time?" Winston

"For five million it could be any one." Chance

"You call Guerrero, I'll cover you." Winston

"Sounds good." Chance

He pulls out his phone and dials Guerrero's number.

"What's up Chance?" Guerrero

"Where pinned down outside Barry's hotel room." Chance

"Gotcha ya, be right there." Guerrero

They both hung up.

"He'll be here in a few." Chance

"Good." Winston

About five minutes later a black van drives up and the door opens.

"Drop you guns now." Guerrero

"I don't think he'll ask again." Chance

All three thugs drop their guns, and turn to face Guerrero.

"We should get out of here." Guerrero

Barry, Chance, and Winston jump into the van. Then they drive off as fast as they can.

"How are we going to solve this nanobot problem?" Winston

"Why what happened?" Guerrero

"Barry vibrated through his bed when he had nightmare." Chance

"I see what you mean. I might know some one that can help." Guerrero

They drive to what looks like a small electronic store.

"What can I help you with?" The clerk

"Tell John that Guerrero wants to see him." Guerrero

"I'll be right back." The clerk

The clerk went into the back, and came out a few seconds later came out.

"He's waiting for you." The clerk

Guerrero walked through the door to the back and closes it behind him.

"What do you need." John

"I need a vibration sensitive watch that shocks the wearer if they surpass a certain speed." Guerrero

"I got the perfect thing." John

He showed Guerrero a box.

"This sounds like the perfect thing the shock is mild so it won't do any permanent damage but it still hurts." John

"I'll take it how much?" Guerrero

"Twenty dollars." John

Guerrero hands him a twenty dollar bill and John hands him the box. Then Guerrero walks out of the room and the store. He gets back into the van and hands the box to Barry.

"Put this on." Guerrero

Barry puts it on, a few seconds later they stop at popular dinner. Chance and Barry get out.

"Try to use your speed." Chance

Barry starts to run to the door of the dinner. He takes two steps the stops dead in his tracks. When he gets shocked by the watch.

"Now I won't use my speed without thinking. This more sensitive then the nanobots." Barry.

Barry see a car following them. It drives past them when they see Barry looking at them.

"We need to get out of here. There are to many civilians here." Barry

Barry and Chance walk quickly to Chance's car and get in. They drive to vacant lot surrounded by abandoned warehouses. They get out and prepare for the fire fight that is coming.

"How did you know they were the guys from the hotel?" Chance

"I saw their faces when they drove past." Barry

Seconds later two cars filled with bad guys pulls up. They get out with guns in hand.

"Surrender and hand him over." The Leader

"What do we do now?" Barry

"I don't know." Chance

"Maybe I could take the watch off and tack there guns." Barry

"Not a chance." Chance

"Times up." The Leader

Then all of the bad guys started to fire. Chance fired back, and took cover behind the car.

"They have bigger guns then us." Barry

"I know that." Chance

"How does Bats do it?" Barry mumbles so quiet Chance couldn't hear.

"How do they keep finding you?" Chance

"The only thing I can figure is they can tract the nanobots." Barry

"So basically no mater where we go they can follow." Chance

"Yeah, pretty much." Barry

Chance hears some one coming up behind them. He turns to face them, and sees it's Winston and Guerrero. Barry looks around and sees a barrel.

"I need to get a closer look at that barrel. Can you cover me?" Barry

"Sure but why?" Chance

"Because if I'm right then I might have found a way out." Barry

Chance and Winston pock their heads up and fire at the bad guys. Barry makes a run for the barrel. He ducks behind it, and reads the label.

"Perfect just what I needed." Barry

Winston and Guerrero cover Barry as he rolls the barrel back. Barry looks around to see a water source. He sees five gallon bucket full of rain water.

"Winston can you get me that bucket." Barry

"What do you need a bucket of water for." Winston

"He must have a good reason." Chance

"And try not to spill." Barry

Barry picks up a sharp stone. He then takes of the watch, and starts scoring the top of the barrel. His hand moving so fast that Chance can't even see it. Before they knew it the rock was ground to sand.

"I need something metal." Barry

He sees a chuck of broken re-bar next to Guerrero.

"Could you hand me that," Barry pointed to the piece of metal, then clutches his hand the pain evident on this face.

Guerrero picks it up and hands it to him, then raises his head and fires at the bad guys. Winston came back with the bucket. Barry continues trying to cut through the top of the barrel. After few more passes the lid was cut through.

"I hope you have good insurance." Barry

Chance looks closely at the barrel and smiles.

"I don't like that look." Winston

Barry rips off a piece of his pant leg, and opens the gas cap. He sticks the cloth down in till it reaches the gas and rested the other end on the contents of the barrel. Then he put the bucket of water on top.

"We should run now." Barry

Just as they got fare enough away. The bad guys bullets filled the bucket with holes. Less then a second later there was an explosion. When the leader was running away something fell out of this pocket. Barry only caught a quick glimpse at it before it was destroyed.

"I think the device they have been using to track me just fell out of the guys pocket and was destroyed." Barry

"How do you know it wasn't his cell phone?" Winston

"Because it was a modified version of something one of the people who sent me here uses." Barry

"How many more of them do you think are out there, dude" Guerrero

"I have no idea." Barry

After all the bad guys were gone. They walked the curb, and hailed a cab.

"How about we go back to the diner?" Barry

He reached out to open the car door, but his hand hurt to much. So Chance opened it, and they all got in. Within a few minutes they were back in front of the dinner where this had all started.
