I'm furious, embarrassed, betrayed, amused. I'm raging. All these mixed emotions rushing through me uncontrollably. What are they doing? Are they serious right now? Really Andre, this is a joke to you? Typical Connor to do such a thing. I don't know what to feel, or even do. Arrgghh! I walk past these idiots still laughing on the floor and charge straight to my room. Grab a suitcase pack every essential needed clothes, phone, phone charger, passport, make up and a few stacks of cash I stole from Andre's room. I peek down the stair rail, seeing Andre still laughing his head off. I quietly grab my suitcase and drag it across the floor to an empty guest room with just a bed and a window facing the woods. As I get in, I slam the door behind me to indicate I'm locking myself in, then lock the door. I push open the window as wide as it could go and throw my suitcase down on the grass. The room I was in wasn't that high, on the second floor. I then grab sheets and sheets of bed covers and tie them together then tie the sheets to the bed frame. I throw the rest of the sheets out the window and slowly climb out.
Once I reach the ground I then remembered that there's guards surround the premises. I then came up with a plan. I see a guard in the distance, he looked kinda young, almost clueless. I decide he's my target.
Me: Excuse me
I say while approaching him
Guard: Lexi? Uhh-umm what are you doing here?
Me: What do you mean?
Guard: You're not allowed out here
Me: I'm going out for a bit
Guard: I don't think I can let you do that miss
Crap!
Me: Andre said it would be fine
Guard: Andre gave permission?
He looked surprised
Me: Yes, he said you can drive me out of here to, you know, for protection
Guard: A-a-are you sure miss, I mean let me call h-
Me: No need, he's working, you know how he hates it if you disturb him.
The guard looked confused
Me: And I know he'd hate it even more if you disobey his orders
He now looks hesitant to call
Guard: Are you s-sure miss, I should ask one of the other guards
Me: No need, you're new here right? Show that you can do this job on your own.
The guard now looks like he's gaining more confidence
Guard: Alright, right this way miss
Me: Thank
As we walk into the woods to the car, I breath a sigh of relief. Damn that was work. We then reach the car which was placed in a camouflaged garage deep inside the woods
Guard: Right this way please.
Me: Thank you
We enter the car, I sit on the back seats and make our way out of the woods.
Guard: The destination miss
Me: Ummm, London
Guard: Are you sure, you know people are still looking for Andre and you guys
Me: Fine Kent, take me Junior's house.

Few hours went past and we're still in the car driving in silence. I slept a few times, I think I snores to. I was too afraid to turn on my phone so I threw it out the window a couple of miles ago.
Me: So what's your name?
Guard: Simon
Me: Ohh nice, so how long have you been working for Andre?
Simon: Couple of months
Me: You like him?
Simon: Yeah great boss
Me: *giggles*
Simon: What's funny?
Me: The sarcasm in your voice, I know you don't like him, no one does. He's a terrible boss
Simon: With great pay
Me: *giggles*
Simon: Cute
Me: What?
Simon: Your laugh, it's cute
I feel my face warming up, and from the rear view mirror, I could see Simon's reddening to.
Simon: Why the sudden travel?
Me: Felt like I was in a prison cell back there
Simon: Must be hard
Me: Especially living with those two idiots
Simon: *chuckles*
Me: What?
Simon: Nothing
Me: What's funny?
Simon: Nothing, it's nothing
* BEEP*
Me: What was that?
Simon: My talky
Me: DON'T ANSWER IT
Simon: It's part of my job to answer it
Me: Can it track us
Simon: Only when I reply to it
Me: Give it to me please
Simon hands the talky to me in confusion. I press play and listen.
???: SIMON! WHERE ARE YOU? WE NEED ALL MANS ON DECK! LEXI IS MISSING! I REPEAT LEXI FORD IS MISSING!
Simon stamps his foot down on the break peddle causing me to lean forward.
Simon: Give it to me
Me: No! Simon I can explain
Simon: GIVE IT TO ME!
Me: NO!
Simon leans towards me tying to grab the talky while I'm trying to open the door to get out. The the talky plays again.
???: SIMON! YOU'RE A DEAD MAN!
Andre?
Andre: A COUPLE OF GUARDS SAW YOU TAKING MY SISTER INTO THE WOODS HEADING TOWARDS THE CAR! WHERE IS SHE? WHERE ARE YOU? WHEN I FIND YOU! YOU'RE A DEAD MAN.
Simon stops and looks at me with such rage I was trembling.
Simon: Let's go
He then steps down on he accelerate peddle and drove further and further away from the house.

Couple of hours in we're still driving.
Me: Where are we going?
Simon stays silent
Me: I'm sorry I tricked you, I didn't mea-
Simon: SHUT UP AND LET ME THINK.
I sit back on my seat like a little kid in trouble
Simon: We're going Junior's
Me: Do you think that's such a good idea anymore
Simon: I got a friend there that can help me.
Me: Umm Simon? Why aren't you that angry with me?
Simon: I am angry with you
Me: You haven't kicked me out of the car yet, or sent me back to Andre, but instead you're helping me.
Simon looks ahead as we slowly approach a town
Simon: Look, neither of us wants to be in this predicament right now, Andre clearly wants me dead and he will most definitely be angry at you. So why not help each other out instead of fighting.
Me: Ohh kayy, so why are we going Junior's?
Simon: Let's just say him and his friend owes me a favour
Me: What favour?
Simon: Don't ask questions
At this point I'm shocked at Simon, he's not that quiet little guy I met a few hours ago, he's more manly now, he's determined, furious and more attractive.

Simon: Wake up Lexi
I feel hands on me, shaking me causing me to wake up
Me: What!
I said with my voice cracking
Simon: We're here
I look out the window and see a familiar building.
Me: This should be fun
Simon: I know right, here wear my hoodie
Me: Why?
Simon: You're still wanted!
I rush the hoodie on
We got out of the car in silence and awkwardly walked to the door.
Simon: Let me do all the talking
Simon knocked once
*no answer*
He knocked twice but, louder
*no answer*
Simon started banging on the door like he was going to break it
???: Alright alright chill
