*Author's Note: Hmm, a car chase? Then what?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Cops?" you exclaimed, fear radiating from your eyes. "They found us?" Dante didn't reply. He stared towards the rearview mirror, gazing at the police officer who was approaching the car from his patrol vehicle. The police officer adjusted his sunglasses as he chewed absently on his piece of gum, taking slow strides.

Dante narrowed his eyes at the man's reflection as you slowly sat up. "Babe, put on your seat belt."

You gazed at him with confusion. "Dante, what are you thinking?"

"Just put on your seatbelt." Reluctantly, you obeyed, clicking your seatbelt on as did Dante. You took in a deep breath, preparing yourself for the worst. Dante began switching gears of the car and with one quick motion and the screeches of the tires; he sped off down the road.

"Hey!" the officer shouted. He ran back towards the police vehicle, immediately speeding off after the two of you. Dante pressed further down on the gas pedal, switching the gears with every fast movement. You held on the car handle for dear life. The bursts of sirens were heard from behind you.

"Dante, do you really think this is such a good idea?" you asked. You swallowed down hard, glancing at the rearview mirror, the cop right at your tail.

Dante took a quick glance in the mirror before focusing back on the road. "Hold on." You couldn't believe your ears, hold on? What did he think you were going to do? Let go? Screw that, the last thing you want happening is flying out of the car. Why did Dante have to be so daring?

You continued to glance back at the officer. "He's catching up," you warned.

"Shit," Dante cussed, looking back. Dante pressed harder against the gas pedal, the roar of the engine heard as the car went faster. He began swerving in and out of the lanes, trying to dodge the cars that got in the way. You stole a glance at him, seeing a smirk upon his features as he watched you from the corner of his eyes. He gazed back on the road.

"How you feeling, babe?"

"Scared as hell, how about you?" you asked, shaking your head.

"Having the time of my life," he replied. "We need some music for this car chase, I'm sick of those annoying sirens." You stared at him in complete shock. He thought this was all a game? Dante was...odd, to say the least. You let out a heavy sigh as he began switching the radio stations, finally stopping at a rock song. You listened to the heavy metal beat, automatically recognizing it, Left Behind, by Slipknot.

Dante left it on the station, his full attention on the road once again. Honestly, this had to be the weirdest moment you ever had. The car chase, plus the music working together so perfectly, that you would have thought you were in a movie.

Dante put the volume higher, the speakers blasting over the sirens.

You gazed forward to the road, your eyes widening as you took a glance at a wall of police cars. "Oh...shit...Dante..."

"Yeah, yeah, don't worry, I got it covered," he replied casually. Bullshit, you have it covered, you thought to yourself.

"Dante, if we get through this alive, I get to so hurt you," you remarked.

"Well, that doesn't sound so rewarding."

"It's not supposed to," you retorted. The car neared the wall ever so slowly; the police officers kneeled behind their vehicles with their guns drawn as they began to shoot at the windshield. You screamed, bending your head and holding your head. You felt the car swerve, Dante taking a quick turn to the left as he drove off the drove and quickly passed the wall. "My...God..." you whispered in disbelief. Dante turned back on the road, the many patrol cars now on your ass. "Fucking hell," you cussed. "You know, Dante? Scratch what I said before. If we get through this, I'll strangle you until I'm fully satisfied."

"Sure you would, you'd probably be lip locking with your knight in shining armor," he remarked, referring to himself as the knight. You rolled your eyes, looking back at all the vehicles. You groaned lowly, looking back forward. The two of you were approaching a train track pass. Once the music on the radio station stopped for a moment your eyes widened when you heard a distinct loud noise. The gate of the train track began lowering, the bells going off as the red lights flashed. Hesitantly, you gazed to the left, a rusty old train coming to view.

You swallowed hard. "Dante..." you said slowly. You gazed at him, a grin on his lips making your eyes grow wide.

"Don't you dare."

"Dare," he responded. The engine of the car roared, his foot on the gas pedal rising the cars speed. You gasped as he went forward, hoping to drive through before the train crossed. A loud honk was heard from the train. You whimpered as the vehicle neared the gates. Tightly, you shut your eyes, clenching your teeth tightly. You heard the car ram hard against the wooden boards separating you from the track, the honk of the train's horn becoming louder. The car went unsteady, the wheels hitting against the uneven track, and almost for sure you thought you weren't going to make it. Until you heard the train continue on from behind you, your body still safe and intact. You shot your eyes open, looking back, only able to see little glimpses of the police vehicles immediately stopping. A wide smile appeared on your lips. Holy shit, what a rush. You looked back to Dante, his eyes on you.

"And you thought we wouldn't make it..." he remarked, shaking his head. How he knew you thought such things was beyond you. Ignoring that wondering thought, you punched him on the arm. "Ow! What was that for?"

"Never ever do that again," you retorted. "You scared the hell out of me."
