Chapter 61: Meeting
Whistler and Michael stood inside the waiting area at SONA. Soon, Jack, Lincoln, Sophia, and Susan arrived. Susan smiled coldly at Michael and Whistler and sauntered over to them.
"James," she crooned, "Where are the coordinates?"
Whistler ignored her for a moment and turned his full attention on Sophia.
"This isn't your fault," he said, eyes watery with emotion, "I didn't know how bad these people were when I took the job."
"The coordinates, James!" snapped Susan, irritably.
Whistler glared at her and pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. He held it up for her to see, then tore it in half.
"What do you think you're doing?" hissed Susan.
"Half now…half once I know Sophia, L.J., and everyone else are safe," replied James, coolly.
"I'm impressed," said Susan, narrowing her eyes thoughtfully, "You have twenty-four hours to get the coordinates or L.J. and Sophia die!"
Susan grabbed Sophia's arm and stalked angrily back over to her car.
"Hey!" cried Jack, furiously.
"She's coming with me!" snarled Susan, glaring at her sister.
"It's okay!" called Sophia, "Just do what you have to do, Jack! Help them!"
Susan tossed Sophia into the car and sped away from SONA.
Whistler turned to face Michael.
"I've helped you, now you help me," he said in a desperate voice, "Please, just get us out of here!"
Lincoln and Jack drove silently down the road. Lincoln stopped the car and parked in front of an electricity pole.
"You sure this'll work?" asked Jack, skeptically.
"It'll have to…"
A few minutes later, Lincoln and Jack parked near a bus stop.
"I see one!" said Jack as a bus began to approach them.
Lincoln pulled a gun out of the glove compartment and stepped out of the car. Jack took out her switchblade and followed him over to the bus stop.
The second the bus opened up its doors, Lincoln rushed in and began to yell.
"Everyone get out and get out now!"
Jack slid in beside him and held up her knife for the passengers to see. The people began to panic and made a mad dash for the exit.
Lincoln brandished the gun in the driver's face and forced him to exit the vehicle as well.
"Well, that didn't take too long," said Jack as Lincoln stepped on the gas.
"Just brace yourself," said Lincoln as he headed towards the electricity pole.
Jack crouched down between two seats and prepared herself. The bus careened to the side of the road and smashed into the pole. Lincoln and Jack leapt out of the bus and ran to the other side of the road. They hid in some bushes and glanced back at the pole. Electrical sparks were flying everywhere. Now all they could do was pray that the lack of lighting would give Michael and the other escapees a fighting chance…
