LC is in a state of frenzy, with red lights blinking over and over and people running around, screaming. "Hold on," I mutter, unwrapping Elli- Kat's arm. She's screaming, wanting to run around with the other people. Summer keeps looking over her shoulder at people. "Autumn. We have to go. Now." she commands. I don't look at her. I finally finish unwrapping Kat's arm. "Come on!" Summer yells, leading us out of the medical room. We run into the main hallway, but quickly turn back around. People in all black are running around with guns, yelling Kat's name. "This way." Summer leads us to a doorway next to a vending machine. Summer quietly unlocks the door as I calm Kat. "It's okay. It's okay." I sooth. Sudently, a person dressed in black jumps out in front of us. "Katrina!" He yells. "Summer!" I yell. Summer looks over her shoulder and sees us. She races over as I fend the guy off. Summer looks at the guy her eyes sparkle. "You don't remember a thing." she says, right before she round house kicks the guy. He falls over backwards, unconcious. Kat stares at us. "You're superheroes!" she laughs. Um, not really! "Actually, we're spies." Summer says as she opens the door. "Hurry!" We run out the door and I slam it closed behind us. We're in a little chamber with a latter going up. Summer starts climbing up and me and Kat follow. 5 minutes later we are still climbing up the latter. "Are we there yet?" Kat whines. "No. Quiet." Summer scolds. Kat shuts up for the rest of the time. I guess Kat was looking into Summer's eyes. Finally we get to the top. Summer pulls something down and a trapdoor falls to the side. She pushes up on the next thing and light floods in. We climb out and I breath in the fresh air. "Hurry. Go to the car." We run to a little car sitting in a driveway a house over. "Isn't this stealing?" Kat asks. "No, it's borrowing. Come on!" We pull out and speed out of Mannicco. Summer sighs. "That was close." "Yeah." I mutter. "You guys are spies?" Kat asks, remembering what Summer said back in LC. Summer laughs. "Actually, I'm not really sure what we are." I nod in agreement. "Oh." Kat looks disappointed. "But you can call us spies!" I put in. Kat cheers up. "Yay! I'm friends with a bunch of spies!" she cheers. I laugh. Maybe there's pluses to being friends with a 7 year old.
. . . . . .
After spending about 4 hours in the car, we finally pull over at an airport. "Where are we going?" I ask. "Well... I was thinking... it might not be safe in Europe anymore." Summer starts. Oh no. I don't like where this is going. "So I was thinking that maybe... we should go to the United States." "WHAT?!?!" I yell. The United States. No way. "How will we get tickets?" Summer points to her eyes. "You wouldn't dare!" "I like traveling!" Kat bounces in her seat. "But this is dangerous!" I protest. "Autumn, we have to make dangerous choices sonetimes." Summer calms me. "This is different!" "How?" "Um... I don't know! It- it's like stealing, it's just wrong!" "What about this car?" Summer asks. "I thought it was borrowed!" Kat puts in. "Umm... about that..." I start. "Forget it. You're going." Summer's eyes sparkle. Shoot. I forgot about how Summer can do that. I sigh. "Fine. But it doesn't mean I'll enjoy it." Actually, it would be sort of cool to live in America again. "Yay!" Kat smiles. "Let's go!" "We need to get stuff at the airport first, before we get on the plane." Summer looks at us. "Ready?" "Ready!" "Ready..."
