Dragging Alec
into it
Chapter Two:
The line up at
the checkpoint was impressive. Alec slowed to a stop and looked back at Max and
Biggs.
"You
ready…?" Alec turned to Max, grinning slyly, his look confessing the
guilty pleasure he was finding.
"Aren’t I
always?" Max smirked at him.
Biggs opened
his mouth to say something, but just shook his head and drove forward, leaving
Max and Alec to exchange excited grins. They finally had an organization, a
system of defense…an opportunity to kick ass in the daylight.
Max let her
ninja roar, and tossed her hair behind her back.
Following
Biggs, Alec pulled up to the crossbar as Biggs pulled out his Jam Pony I.D.
badge.
"Jam Pony
Messenger." Max called out.
Alec let his
engine rev and pulled out his ID as well.
"We’ve
got a pick up for Harbor Lights hospital." The bar was lifted immediately
and with one last furtive smirk at each other, they kicked their bikes into
gear and started to push for speed.
Following the
siren’s sound, Max motioned to Biggs to go around, and she followed Alec to as
they swung around the corner.
They saw the
transgenic immediately…an albino running from the cops isn’t that hard to pick
up on. Alec grinned slightly and grabbed up a long metal chain laying over a
fence.
As they neared
their goal, there were two police cars at an angle, ready to block off the
street to any traffic that might come that way and providing a potential
barrier to the transgenic their esteemed colleagues were after. Standing next
to their cars next to the open door, arms resting on the hoods. Their guns were
ready to fire at anything at any moment.
Well, anything
in front of them, that is.
Hearing the
engines behind them, the sector police started to turn, but they weren’t fast
enough. Alec’s foot flew out, slamming the full force his speed into the car
door, crushing the cop between the door and the jam. He smiled at the sound of
Max doing the same thing on the other side. And then the kept the game going.
The engines
fired up and they were gone again. Alec saw Biggs closing in from the other
direction, kicking and punching out every obstacle in his sight. Alec nodded
his head to the right, and Biggs nodded, seeing his motion, even from a
distance.
Gaining on
cops in pursuit, Alec let his chain unfurl and whipped it in a tight arc, taking
out one in a downward stroke and letting the follow-through clip the gun hand
of the next, the end wrapping around the man’s wrist. Alec yanked back, sending
the gun flying, and the cop to the ground. Ahead of him, Max was pulling the
albino onto her bike, but behind her, there was movement.
White. Biggs
was on his way toward her, but wouldn’t make it in time. Swiveling his bike
faster than it was probably supposed to turn, he kicked it up to speed…and
headed straight for White, wrapping his chain around his hand as he went.
Hearing Alec’s
approach from one side and Biggs’ from the other, White turned to meet Alec
first, head-on. Pulling back on the trigger, White stared into the steady green
eyes, feeling more fear than he would ever admit.
As White pulled
the trigger, Alec threw his body sideways, bringing his motorcycle toppling
sideways as the shot fired. He pushed on his legs, jumping clear of the
wreckage as the motorcycle skidded across the pavement into White, who had to
dive forward to try to clear it.
Biggs’ was on
them then, kicking White as he swerved to hook arms with Alec, pulling him onto
his own motorcycle. Alec packed an iron punch into a cop that couldn’t seem to
get enough and drew his gun as Biggs’ accelerated to catch up with Max.
Four shot rang
out.
All police
vehicles were disabled at that point.
Four more
shots rang out.
They missed.
