Jasper was driving at three times the legal speed. Alice had leaned back on the seat and closed her eyes, searching for another vision. Bella, quietly searched through the contents of the emergency bag the family had created, for times such as this. She moved a few bags with about 10,000 dollars in them, and found what she was looking for.
"How long are you guys good for?" she asked.
Alice slowly opened one eye and looked at Bella, "What?"
"How long before you have to go hunting again?" Bella asked exasperatedly.
"I still have about a week," Jasper said calmly.
"Same," Alice murmured, and closed her eyes again.
Bella continued sorting through the bag as Jasper parked the car in the airport's parking lot.
"Let's go," he said, and got out of the car.
Bella quickly threw everything back in the bag, except for the passports she'd found. She and Alice left the car and followed Jasper into the nearly empty airport.
"Three tickets for a flight to Cuernavaca, Mexico. We need to leave as soon as possible," he said, turning on his vampire charm full-force.
The woman at the ticket counter blinked, dazed. "No flights to Cuernavaca," she said dreamily, "but I can get you a flight to Mexico City, leaving in about ten minutes."
"That will do," Jasper replied, taking his wallet out of his pocket.
He quickly paid for the tickets, and then all three ran to the terminal. They went through security with a little help from Alice's charm, and made it to the plane just as it was about to take off.
--------------
The flight to Mexico City wasn't very long, but the clock was ticking quickly, and they had to get to the young girl as fast as possible.
Suddenly, it occurred to Bella that they didn't even know the girl's name. She asked Jasper if he knew, but he turned up a blank.
"Alice," Jasper whispered, "do you know her name?"
"What?"
"What's the girl's name?"
"Oh, her name is Sadie."
"Sadie? I thought she was Mexican."
"Hey!" Alice said somewhat angrily, "I didn't pick the name, I took it out of one of my visions, ok? So just let me concentrate and know more about her!"
Bella and Jasper turned to look at each other as Alice sank back into her visions.
--------------
When they finally reached Mexico City, day was a few hours away.
"Well," Bella said, "how are we getting to Cuernavaca?"
Jasper and Alice didn't answer, but walked over to the car rental. Within a few minutes, they were driving a van down the street.
Jasper complained under his breath, he had no patience for simple vans that didn't go fast enough for him. Bella held a map under her nose, calling out directions to the frustrated vampire who was driving the slow van. Alice sat in the back seat, making reservations at a hotel for a room.
"Why did we have to get a van?" Jasper asked Bella, "Couldn't we have gotten something a little better?"
"Whoa, there," Bella said, "don't look at me, I didn't rent this ride. Whatever, at least it has tinted windows, no one can look in."
"But it's so slow!"
"It'll get us to where we need to go, so it's fine."
"Will both of you stop talking!" Alice told them. "I'm trying to save all our butts here, you know?"
The car was silent the rest of the way, except for the occasional order from Bella.
