Lucas was driving down the road and saw a road block in front of him. Looking at the rear-view mirror, he saw cars coming up behind him, thankfully none of them were cop cars. They continued freely on the back road until they saw the flashing lights up ahead. There was a road block waiting for them. Somehow they needed to get past it and as far away from the cops as possible.
"Lucas." Nathan started to worry.
"I know, Nate. Hand me the case."
Nathan picked up the case and opened it. Following Lucas's instructions, Nathan pulled out a small container and a lighter. Lucas rolled his window down and told Nate to light the container. Taking the container from his brother, Lucas threw it towards the cops. When it landed, the container exploded. The cops all ducked and Lucas pulled into the other lane. He drove right past the cops as they were yelling at him and pulling their guns out of their holsters.
Andy was sitting in his office looking at all the personal information on the escapees. Each one of them had different reasons for breaking out. The key was to match the right reasons with the right cons.
"Sir, a car broke through a road block." He looked up at Mouth who just walked into the office
Andy walked over to the map of the state. "What road?" Mouth walked over and pointed to the road and Andy circled it. "Do we know who it was?" Andy asked.
"Only thing they got was two white males and an African-American male."
"It's Roe, Scott and Skills. Get everyone to block all roads that connect to this one. And get an APB on the make and color of the car. Did you get anything out of Snake?"
"Yea, that he scares me some... and that Roe drew the tattoos himself."
Mouth thought carefully for a moment. He walked over to his desk and looked for the photos of Lucas's tattoos again, "They're clues. Everything on his body are clues of how they are going to get to safety."
Nathan looked behind them as the cop cars were now following them. Lucas reached into the glove box, pulled out a map and handed it to Nathan.
"We need to get off the road, but stay in the same direction that we're going."
Nathan looked at the map as they felt a jolt from the back. Lucas swerved and barely kept the car on the road.
"Next right." Nathan directed.
Lucas made a sharp turn and looked behind to see only a few cars were now chasing them.
"Come on, Dawg. Lose them." Skills nervously said.
"Turn left here." Nathan said.
"I'm not feeling well." Skills was holding his stomach as Lucas looked back again.
"The farm. Go through there."
Lucas cut the wheel sharply and took the road. The cop cars were still behind them as Lucas looked over his shoulder.
"We're going to have to bale."
"Nate, we can't bale yet. Give me more roads."
"Turn left." Lucas turned and saw a barn and quickly pulled in. He turned off the engine and they grabbed the things from the trunk.
"Sir, the patrol have the fugitives trapped inside an old barn."
"Get me a car ready. No one moves in on them until I say so." He grabbed the pictures and they ran out of his office.
Lucas was looking around the barn at the different tools that were hanging on the walls. Skills was looking out the door and Nathan was still inside the car.
"Skills, where the cops at?" Lucas asked trying to figure out how to get them out of here.
"Still coming down the road. About half a mile way."
Lucas looked in the other direction and didn't see anything.
"Take the license plates off the car."
Nathan jumped out of the car and walked to the back.
"We have about three minutes to get out of here and get down the road." Nathan looked at his brother.
"What's down the road?"
"An old house where they think we are going to be inside. That will give a few more minutes to get away from here." Nathan handed him the plates and Lucas kicked the side of the barn until some boards broke. The three of them took of down the road as the sirens got closer.
Andy drove up on the cop cars and stopped. Andy pulled his gun and walked towards the door.
"I want people all around this barn." Andy said, looking over at one of the cops. "Did you see anyone leave?"
"No sir." The cop answered.
Andy walked over to the door and looked inside. He saw the car was parked. With his gun in front, he slowly walked inside of the barn. The car was empty.
"Sir." One of the officers was standing beside a big hole.
Andy looked over at the hole in the side of the barn.
"You didn't have this place surrounded?" Andy put his gun back in his holster as he walked over to the hole.
"They must have just left before we got here."
"Any houses in the area?"
"Down the road some is an abounded house." They all got back into the cars and took off for the house.
Peyton saw Brooke walking down the hallway of the prison. Brooke stopped and looked inside of the infirmary at the chair.
"Brooke what are you doing here?"
"I tried calling you last night." Brooke had tears in her eyes. "You didn't answer your phone."
"I turned it off. Every reporter wanted an exclusive interview with me." Peyton lied to her friend. She knew that she couldn't tell Brooke that she was at Haley's apartment helping to clear Nathan's name. "I'm so sorry Brooke."
"Please tell me that you had no idea that this was going to happen."
"If I had known then I would've told Whitey about it." She hated lying to her best friend.
"Where do you think they are going to go to?"
"I have no idea." Peyton picked up a folder and walked over to a guard. "I need inmate number 354269." He nodded and relayed the information to command.
"He said he was sorry for tying me up," Brooke continued, "He was breaking out of prison. And he still said he was sorry. If he wasn't an escaped inmate I would totally sleep with him." Peyton had to hide the anger inside of her. Brooke had already taken Jake away from her and know hearing her talk about Lucas like that made her angry. "You coming to lunch?"
"I have an inmate coming in a few minutes."
The three escapees all stopped and were trying to catch their breath. Lucas pulled an old map out of the backpack.
"Where to now?" Nathan looked over at his brother.
"Down this road. It will lead us to a small town. From there we have to find a car." They nodded and took off running again.
"Sir, the house was clean."
"Roe wouldn't be stupid enough to go to a house knowing we would search it. Anything around here where they could get a vehicle?"
"A small town about a mile up this road."
"I want men at the end of that road. No one gets in or out." He got back into his car and looked over at Mouth. "Any luck with the numbers on his arms?"
"We found what might be bank accounts."
"It will take too long to track every bank." Mouth nodded and Andy closed his eyes.
"He is smart, but he might be too smart on something."
"You think he's over thinking?" Andy nodded as Mouth started up the car.
"May I help you sir?" Lucas looked over at the salesperson and smiled.
"I have a thousand dollars on me and need a car."
"Anything in particular?"
"Something that runs is fine with me." They walked over to a car and Lucas looked inside. "I'll take it."
"Let's do the paper work then."
"I'm in a hurry so if you could just bring me out the papers I'll sign them."
"Sir I can't do that."
"I will throw in an extra five hundred."
"Let me get the keys and the papers." Lucas handed him his I.D. and the salesman walked inside.
"Sir, a Michael Hatcher just bought a car."
Andy slammed his hand on the dashboard. "Where?" He heard nothing on the phone. "I have road blocks set up. How the hell did they get past them?"
"We don't know sir." He closed his phone and looked over at Mouth.
"Get me into town ASAP." Mouth drove faster and Andy rubbed his forehead. "Any word on the others?"
"No sir. We have people watching relative houses and work places. Anyone who visited them are also on watch."
"Roe and Scott any family?"
"Mom died when Roe was ten and dad is MIA."
"Dan Scott I've heard of that name before."
"He worked for the government a few years back." Mouth pulled into the car dealership and Andy walked over to the sales person. He showed him his badge.
"Have you seen this man?" He held up a picture of Lucas and the guy nodded. "Was anyone with him?"
"Not that I could see."
"We are going to need the make and model of the car." He looked across the street and saw something on the ground. Andy walked over and saw the temporary tags that were suppose to be on the car.
Haley opened the door and saw Peyton and another woman standing there. She moved her arm as the two women walked into the apartment.
"Let me see the papers." Haley walked over to the coffee table and got the papers for Tessa. She thumbed threw them and nodded her head. "I'll need a computer. It should only take a few hours."
"I'll get my laptop for you."
Tessa walked into the kitchen and sat down as Haley went into her room to get the computer, leaving Peyton alone in the living room. Peyton finally got the chance to walk around and looked at all the pictures of Haley, Lucas and Nathan that were around the living room.
"That one was taken right after I got my law degree." Haley said as she entered the room.
"Lucas looks so young."
"Yea he was just starting college."
"Why Nathan?" Peyton still wondered why Nathan was the fall guy for all of this.
"I don't know yet. We need to find the money and see where that leads us to."
"I'm going to go home. I'll be back in a little while."
Haley nodded and walked over to Tessa.
Lucas was looking at his arm, reading the different places that were inked on his skin. He looked back and didn't see anyone around.
"We need to change the color of the car." Nathan looked over at him.
"How do you plan on doing that?"
"Stop at the next hardware store and we can pick up some spray-paint."
"The car will look like a kid painted it." Skills was leaning up from the back seat.
"It doesn't matter what it looks like. as long as the color is different." Skills nodded and leaned back in the seat. "Right there. Pull in." Nathan pulled into the parking lot as Lucas pulled a hat down over his head.
Peyton was walking towards her apartment when she saw the door slightly opened. She looked inside and saw two men in black suits looking around the place.
"Find anything?"
"Nope nothing about Roe or Scott." They were looking for stuff about Lucas. This was the danger that she was in.
"Make it look like a robbery and we can get out of here." They looked around and laughed as they started breaking things. Peyton hid behind the corner when they walked out of her place.
"On to the lawyers place now to get the papers."
"And to have a nice chat with her."
Peyton walked inside of her place and went straight to the bedroom. She started packing her clothes and anything that her mother had given her. She pulled out her cell phone.
"Hello."
"Haley, they are coming to your place."
"Who?"
"I don't know. They were wearing black suits."
"They're secret service agents. Peyton where are you?"
"Packing my things right now."
"Meet me at her place in an hour."
Peyton hung up the phone and saw the paper rose that Lucas had left at her place and picked it up.
Haley had packed her bags and was about to leave when she ran into the back of a tall man. He turned around and raised his head. Haley was shocked.
"Mr. Scott."
Thanks for the reviews for the last chapter. Next chapter you see what Dan wants with Haley. Once again thanks for reading and reviewing.
