Chapter 159

159 A Terrible Drive

“He seems pretty worried and is probably waiting until I come home.”

“Don’t worry, you’ll make it back,” Nikki assured him, “and make sure you keep your dad in good shape while you’re there.” Masaru nodded at that remark, before September patted him on the shoulder.

“Alright, let’s get you home,” she said. There was a line of black cars that were waiting for him, as we walked towards the car.

Malachi jumped inside in one of them, as I followed inside with him. One of the agents was already driving, but he looked at me with a bit of confusion on his face or so it seemed. “Alright, mansion here we come,” Malachi said, shimmying down to a laid back position, so that he could look outside through the windows.

“What are you looking for?” I asked as he shrugged his shoulders slightly. “Just viewing.”

We drove for a little bit, but not for too long in that matter of fact, but Malachi just kept looking out of the window and watching everything pass by. But then while doing that, we heard the growl of other engines, so we both looked outside to see some SUVs approaching us.

What were those? They were driving really fast towards us, and I mean fast, not normal car speed fast... and then they passed by us, but they were following behind us! They kept on following us, and we were worried about it as the other cars began following us too.

“Uh, I think we have a problem, and I mean like a bad problem,” I said. “Drive us in a different direction.” The driver nodded as he suddenly turned left at the intersection, driving away from the line of cars. And the vehicles followed us.

“It’s the BMO,” I muttered as everyone turned around. Tisiah looked in fear, “What’s happening? Where are those vehicles coming from?”

.....

“I don’t know but we need to get out of here fast,” I said, as September looked back, knowing we were in trouble.

“But if we go back-” Nikki began before I shook my head, “No! We’ll just lead them right to the mansion!”

Soon enough, two SUV’s began to catch up on the sides, but I noticed that they had some men on top of them. So there were more than just them? They also had guns pointed at our car, which was pretty terrifying. “Oh shoot, oh shoot!” I shouted.

“Duck!” September ordered, as bullets blazed, shattering our windows and the front windshield. September covered her face as she leaned down in her seat. Quickly, Malachi took his gun out and began shooting back, and then Tisiah pulled his gun out and started firing at them. But it was pointless, as bullets continued to shatter windows and more glass fell down onto our heads and on top of us.

The driver quickly pulled out his radio, shouting, “We need backup, the BMO are currently behind us right now!”

Then he began to swerve through cars, speedily arriving at an intersection, before he made a hard left turn, speeding down an alleyway with the other cars chasing behind us. “We need better firepower,” September said, holding onto her head from her seat in front of me, while Tisiah did the same with his head.

But all of a sudden, the driver jerked the wheel, steering towards the right this time.

The SUV’s behind us began to slide, losing their sense of direction before whipping back into position, almost crashing into a building as they tried to control their speed. We were still in the alleyway now, with trees and bushes around us as the other cars sped up, trying to catch up to us.

Okay, this was good. This was very good.

I rolled down the windows, being met with a bunch of bullets, but they all bounced off the sides of the car. I needed to charge up my Perk, so I could somehow send a shockwave to SUVs.

But then the driver exited the alleyway, returning back to an open road, where there were still those two that were driving around us. “He’s turning around!” Nikki yelled at me.

“That means he’s going to get out of this,” September replied calmly. The driver steered left and right, making us go faster than what the SUVs could. “Get ready,” she said to me.

I nodded, holding my gun tightly in my hands. But I had a better idea. “Wait, just slow down a bit,” I said, as everyone looked at me in shock. “Slow down?!” September screeched. “Don’t slow down.”

“No, slow down,” I said.

“Do not!!” everyone protested. I’m pretty sure the driver was completely done, but he was just listening to me now. He slowed down a little bit, and then the SUV’s that were following us started getting closer to us again. I opened the door as Nikki’s face melted into confusion, “What are you doing?”

“Just trust me,” I replied, as I pushed one leg out. It was hard, feeling the road scratch the bottom of my shoes. It made this racking sound that sounded like someone using their bare nails to scratch a chalkboard.

But I needed to do this, and not die in the process. I charged up my Perk, making sure the energy went through my leg, before I stomped. When I stomped, it was like a shockwave that spread from the ground and passed through the air.

There were four SUVs around us, with men on top of them shooting bullets. Now, there were just sliding cars, because of what I just did. That’s right... I stopped a whole bunch of cars in their tracks by stomping my foot down. Ground was being gained on them, and their cars were no longer moving at all as they slid along the road.

The SUV’s on top of us began to slowly fall down, and I saw men start falling from their seats too. They began to roll down, but soon enough, their bodies stopped rolling. I knew they were dead from that fall.

I then glanced at the driver who was sitting on his seat, looking at me with shock on his face and horror in his eyes. “You guys are crazy,” he chuckled, as I nodded back at him, and then he smiled a bit. “At least we got away from them,” Nikki said with a sigh, as she looked at us, seeing that we were alright.

“Let’s just hope this gets us home safely,” September said, as she sighed.

“I think that’s a safe bet,” Malachi joked, but I couldn’t help but smile at that joke. He then pointed forward. “You see those buildings over there?” he asked as Nikki nodded slowly. “They’re the ones that we need to go through.” He then smiled at me and raised his eyebrow. “Oh and if you do something like that again, don’t expect me to help you.”

I chuckled, feeling good about myself. I battled Rocke, there was no way that was gonna scare me, and I didn’t want anyone else to be scared either. I’d be fine as long as they stayed back and let me do what I did best.

The driver pulled out his radio, as he said, “Threats neutralized. We can return back to the group.”

I sighed as I laid back, watching trees fly by us.

“Well that was... different,” Nikki said softly as the SUV stopped in front of the mansion’s entrance. “But these BMO’s are not playing. How did they figure out where we were?”

I shrugged, as we got out of the car. But she did make a good point, these guys weren’t playing around anymore. They had to be pretty sure that we were heading towards this mansion since they followed us here. But how? Maybe it was that helicopter, but that was the JSA’s.

Unless it was made to look like the JSA’s.

It would make perfect sense, considering they would have all that knowledge about us and where we are. Then again, I’m not sure if that was true, but then again I thought about that helicopter and that possibility. It could definitely be true, and it probably was, considering the amount of men they sent here to kill us.

We entered through the mansion’s entrance, but we didn’t enter into the kitchen this time around.

Zekeshi Kin appeared around the corner, and as he looked at his grandson with pride, he began speaking rapidly to Masaru in Japanese.

“What’s going on?” I whispered to Nikki, as she turned to me. “I have no clue at all,” I responded with a chuckle, and then she turned back around at Masaru who was looking at Zekeshi with a stern face before nodding back at him.
