Royal Crime

Eight

Sirens. Police sirens.
"Holy shit, Jason we got to go" Ryan says as we all stand up and run to the house
"How the fuck did they find us?!" Jason yells then turns to me
"Did you call them?!" He yells at me, I shake my head
"How would I be able to call them Jason?!" I yell back, he just tapes my mouth shut and ties my arms together, not this again.

"Let's go!!" He yells to the guys and he picks me up, they run out, the cops are closer than I thought that Za, Khalil and Ryan start shooting at them, at their tires to prevent them from following us. Jason tosses me in the back of the van as Fredo starts the car, they all get in and he speeds off as the guys shoot at the cops from the windows

"Where the fuck do we go?" Fredo asks, Jason runs his hand through his hair
"I dont fucking know, just drive around until we loose these fuckers" He says and Fredo does as told.
I don't know how long we've been driving but we lost the cops, sadly for me but good for them.
"Let's go to the warehouse we got in the western part of London" Jason says, my eyes widen, Danielle lives in that part

"Whats with that look?" Za asks me, I shake my head not able to speak cause of this tape
"Un-tape her mouth" Jason says and the tape is removed
"So, whats with that look" Za says, I look at him then Jason, who also wants to know the answer, and back at Za

"Nothing, just that my friend lives in that part" I say with a shrug, Jason nods
"Then we will make sure she doesn't see us, she was at the dance so she may recognize us" He says, I look at my tied hands on my lap.

I wake up to the car coming to a stop and to see they untied me, I rub my wrists and Za smiles
"Hello sleeping beauty" He says, I roll my eyes as he helps me out of the van and I look up to see a warehouse, it looks abandoned and badly taken care of
"It's better on the inside" Fredo whispers in my ear as he walks past me and I follow behind him as Jason opens the doors.

Its dark but then the lights turn on and its amazing in here, it's like a mansion on the inside. I walk farther into the building and go up the stair case as they go to the kitchen or living room. I reach the top and walk down the hallway on my right to see rooms then I go to the left hallway and more rooms, ones open so I step in and its huge. I walk out and see more stairs at the end of the hall so I go up and I'm in a big room, it has a bed, lights, tv, a couch and its amazing.

I see a window so I walk towards it to see the palace, it looks closer than I thought it was. I sit down and just stare at it, I can see the front gates and the window to my room clearly. I bring my legs up and wrap my arms around them resting my chin on my arm as I stare out the window, then as if God knows how I feel lighting strikes and rain falls, hard.

I hear footsteps but don't move
"I thought you'd be up here" Fredo says, I hear him get closer until he is sitting right next to me
"Who's room is this?" I ask
"Nobodys, it could be yours if you'd like" He says, I nod as a clap of thunder is heard
"You should sleep" He says after a minute of silence and I shake my head
"You could go, I'll sleep in a bit" I say, he sighs but nods getting up and leaves.

I focus my eyes on my rooms window as the light turns on making my eyes widen a bit
"Open the curtains, let me see you" I whisper and as if they heard me the curtains open and its Harry
"Uncle Harry" I whisper in sadness as I see he isn't in his usual clothing but in baggy sweats and T-shirt, he looks so sad. He closes the curtains and I look away getting up and walking towards the bed with my hand on my chest, on my locket.

Then someone knocks on the door at the bottom of the stairs to the room
"Come in" I say and the footsteps walk up the steps, I turn around to see its Jason
"You okay?" He asks, I nod letting go of my locket and running my hand through my hair
"I could see the palace from that window..I could see the window to my room...I could see it so clearly" I say, he rubs his neck nodding

"I know, thats why I figured you'd want this room for the time we're here" He says, I let out a long sigh
"It hurts," I pause locking eyes with his,"it hurts that my family is so close and hurting over me not being there. I just seen Harry, he looks so broken, he is unrecognizable" I say, I can't hold back the tears any longer, they fall down my cheeks and I let out a sob but quickly cover my mouth as I fall back on the bed

"Miley" Jason says with some emotion behind it that I don't recognize his voice
"I always thought that they would be better off without me, but I guess I was wrong" I say, Jason sighs

"Look, Miley, I don't know what you're feeling. I don't have family, to them I'm a dead man. The only thing close to family was my brother but he is now dead. Now all I got are these guys, my family is better off without me, they kicked me out, my dad kicked me out. Trust me when I say that I miss my mom, and my little brother and sister but I know they are living a normal life and happy. You'll go back to your family but I can't. If I go to Canada I'm going straight to jail," He pauses taking a deep breathe,"I say fuck the police, they treat us like shit so thats how I treat them. We may buy our way out of jail but we can't buy our freedom. The closest thing to freedom is this, going from place to place in disguise and running from those pigs" He says and walks towards the window as lighting strikes and thunder claps

"You'll be able to go back to your family and have freedom to do what you want when you want it without hiding, while we, while I, have to forget about my family and hide for the rest of my life" He says leaving me silent, he turns around and walks to the stairs

"Goodnight" He says as he reaches the bottom and closes the door as thunder claps making me jump. His last words replay in my head like a scratched disc...
