Chapter 11

"Get em"

That's all the guards needed to hear from their chief. The squadron mobilized and attacked Nightmare's gang.

"Quick, Lynn and Toothpick, Flank the right and defend. We've got the Left." Nightmare ordered. Lynn and Toothpick nodded.

Three guards rushed Lynn from behind, only for Toothpick to wipe them out with one clean swing of his bat. The girl was stunned.

"How'd you get such a good swing?" Lynn asked, Pulling a baton away from one of the guards.

"Well when you go through the things I did, you learn some stuff." Toothpick smiled.

Suddenly, A huge pile of guards flew in Chief Johnson's way. When he had looked from the direction it had came from, all the man could see was that he was face to face with a Nightmare. Things were going perfectly for his gang. Despite being the side with lesser numbers, The brute force they had was too much for the Masses.

"Let the girl go." The man growled.

All the chief could do was sigh.

"You asked me to do this." The chief smirked.

At the snap of his fingers, A whole line of guards came from behind him lined up with tasers. Nightmare turned and saw what they were exactly after.

"Everyone for a Wall! Protect Phantom!" The man said.

Lynn watched as slowly, the convicts were picked off and rendered practically useless. If you outlasted the first attempt, you were hit again. After that, there was no doubt. All around the girl there was bodies everywhere. Lynn turned to run, however she was met with a guard holding a taser at her face.

"Hurts to see them turn bad at such a young age." The guard replied. The girl's heart dropped to her feet. This is how it ends? Being tased in the face of all places?

Lynn closed her eyes.

"I'm sorry Lincoln...I failed you." She whispered to herself.

"No..Not yet." Toothpick replied.

Lynn opened her eyes to see the musclar thug wrestling the guard to ground. The cost was on Toothpick's end as the man was shot in the back from another officer.

Lynn and Nightmare stared in shock as the heroics of Nightmare's headman opened an opportunity for escape.

"Phantom this is your shot... Run for it.." Nightmare yelled. Lynn felt the tears run down her face.

"Why are you doing this for me? I hated you. You guys were evil.." She mumbled out.

Nightmare sighed and looked deep into the Lynn's eyes.

"We've done worse things in our time. We ran drug pins... We've hurt people that were innocent for fun.. There's a lot of things you didn't know about us. I wanted to kill you when I locked you in the room. But I had a second thought. I was forced into this life. Abandoned by my family and friends, I fought my oldest brother and ended up on the streets with no one to look out for me...So I made myself stronger to beat down anyone in my way.. Until we met and you and those other two defeated us. On the car ride here, I knew what you kids were up to the whole time... and it reminded me of myself. Listen to me: Don't let anyone stop your journey and protect your brother and that girl with everything in your heart.. And Promise me you will not end up too much like us.." He revealed to her.

Lynn was shocked. It's crazy to see how similar lives could end up being.. In another life, They could have been friends maybe.. She knew she had to find a way to keep Lincoln and Rina safe. But first, She had to get out.

"I promise.." Lynn cried out.

"Alright.." Nightmare turned away from her and faced against the other guards. "Run and Don't look back."

Ice and the rest of the remaining members of the gang stood beside him.

"But.." Lynn began.

"RUN LYNN!" Nightmare shouted, as the echos boomed around the whole room. The girl turned away and ran hard down the hallway. The last thing that Lynn had heard was yelling and gunshots..

"Goodbye you guys.." She thought. "I'll never forget this."

Lincoln and Rina walked out of the building, awaiting for Lynn to just pop up out of nowhere. The more and more time it took, Lincoln could feel himself getting more anxious and anxious. Finally after fifteen minutes of waiting, Lynn emerged from the other side of the police station. The two smiled at first, only to have them erased when they looked into her eyes. Any life that were once in those eyes were replace with doubt and sadness.

"What did they do to you!" Lincoln demanded.

Lynn drove her head directly into his arms and sobbed heavily. Lincoln could only do what he figured he should have and embraced her.

"Nightmare and his crew helped me escape...but Cheif Johnson...He..He" She began.

"He did what?" A voice asked.

Slowly the three children turned to see Chief Johnson holding a taser. Without warning, He took Lynn down with the taser.

"LYNN!" Rina and Lincoln yelled out.

"Due to her actions, Your friend here will be attending a behavioral correction center in Detroit." The officer stated. Lincoln balled his hands up with anger.

"You can't do this!" Rina shouted. The chief turned around and shot a cold look at the girl.

"Oh really, You gonna stop me?" He answered.

"No..But I will." Lincoln whispered. The boy acted fast and blew baby powder in the officers face. While the officer was stunned, Lincoln grabbed the taser and tased Chief Johnson twice to take him down. The boy passed Rina the taser and lifted his sister and her bag.

"How did you get my baby powder?" Rina asked.

"Oh that? It fell out of your bag during the skirmish we had with Nightmare the first time." Lincoln laughed.

Rina smiled. "Makes sense. But we gotta get out of here." She said.

Lincoln nodded. Before Rina could take her first step, Lincoln stopped and looked at her.

"Rina..." He looked away. "Me and Lynn have committed crimes. If you leave with us, You'll be brought down by association if they find us."

Rina didn't even think about his statement. "We're in this together. I can lead you guys to my house in Battle Creek."

Lincoln widdened his eyes. "Battle Creek? That's five hours from here! How are we gonna get there?"

Rina thought about it for a minute and then took out a map.

"There's a string of hotels near Birmingham. If we stake out there for the night, We can pool our money together and get tickets to the closest airport." She said.

Now it was Lincoln's turn to think. This was their get out of jail card. It was far from Royal Woods, But at least in Battle Creek they wouldn't be looked for.
He looked at his sister. After all, isn't this why they fought so hard in the first place? There was no turning back now.

"Let's catch this bus right here!" Rina shouted as the doors opened to a bus stop right around the corner.

Lincoln smirked and began to chase after her.
