Dusk

Chapter 17

We get to our ship and I get in the pilots seat and Jacob gets in the passenger. I start it up and I start hovering. The walls open up and I fly out. It's a couple hours away. I turn on auto pilot and tell Jacob "Take over while I get some rest." He doesn't say anything and gets in the pilots seat. I walk to the back to the holding area. I lay on the uncomfortable seats and I fall asleep almost instantly with how late it is and how tierd I am.

"Parker get up, we're almost their. You need to be the one who drives in. I'll turn on my cloak and I'll be right beside you the whole time." "Ok, what's the plan exactly?" "You drive in and tell them you finally escaped. That no one saw you leave. I didn't get to see anything they were doing there. Say you need to just get away for awhile. Ask Brea to come with you. Then we'll leave." "Ok let's do this."

I get in the pilots seat and fly into their holding bunker. I get out of the seat and head to the back and he hands me this suit to put on, it's the same one from the VRR. I take my other clothes off and put it on. It's skin tight and is super strong. The staff is in the same place. The memory of what I did is horrible. I can't believe it made me do that. Jacob turns on the cloak and he's gone. The bunker door opens and I walk down. I see a car speeding towards us. Carters driving, Neon is with him, so are the other guys. "Hey guys!" I yell out and wave. None of them say anything and Carter gets out with a blank sorta angry face. He walks behind me grabs my hands and puts energy cuffs on me. "What the heck?? Why did you put these on me? Not the welcoming party gift I was expecting." "Get in the car, your under arrest for the kidnapping of Brea and exploiting secrets to your father and the murder of Trace." "What?? That makes no sense. Why would i do that? Neon you gotta help me out here." He remains silent. "Guys?" Everyone remains silent with their heads slightly down, looking away from me. I sit in the middle of Bruce and Drake. They don't look at me. It's not long before we get to the prisoner holding area. Bruce gets out, dragging me with him. I comply for now. Until I figure out what the heck is going on. They push me into cell. I trip and fall into the wall. They slam the door and I'm left in silence. "What just happened?" I hear Jacob whisper. I almost forgot he was here. "I have no idea. Do you have a way to get me out of here?" "I broke you out of your other cell didn't i?" "Don't remind me." "We need a plan first." He says. "Do you have another cloak with you by chance?" "Your suit has it built-in.  Just press the button on your leg. Then press the one on your neck for the mask. You'll be able to see where I am when the helmet is on." "Ok when I say, unlock the door and follow me. First we'll find Kota where ever she is." "Ok." "3...2...1..GO!" I turn the cloak on and put the mask on. He slams his foot into the door and it flys open. "How Suttle." I say loudly. "Shut up and let's go."

We run down the hallways and I notice someone in a cell, it's Orion. I almost stop but then I realize i can't stay. I keep going, we make it out of the building and run as fast as we can to her office. She's not there. Where could she be? I run over to Carters office and through the door and people are walking around with their heads down, wearing the same uniform. I run up the stairs to his office and slowly open the door. No one's in there. I go to his desk and look through his files, maybe there's something about why there after me. I hear the alarms going off at the prisoner holding cells. I look out the window and I see Carter and Kota walking to the building. They stop and it looks like he's yelling at her and then he points. She turns and starts walking. I open the window. "This way Jacob." He looks and I jump out the window. He looks and yells down "I'm not a drugged up venomic like you, you idiot!" He jumps out the window and before he hits the ground his feet light up with this glowing blue energy. He starts hovering. "Really?? You couldn't have told me that we could do that sooner?" "You didn't ask." "Didn't think I had to!" "Are you seriously arguing with me right now?" "Forget it, follow her!" I press the same button he did and my shoes light up and I start hovering. I start running, or really flying. We rush past people. I see the shield over the island coming down. We're gonna be trapped inside. We'll have to deal with it later. Jacob finally catches up to her and grabs her and flies over to a hidden area. I turn the cloak off and she see me and hugs me. Jacob leaves his on. "Thank god your not after me. Why are they after me anyways?" I ask her "Carter caught the traitor and he said you were behind it all, that you were just trying to get information from him to destroy him, kidnapping Brea was a way to get back to quarantined zone. I knew it was a lie, you couldn't be a traitor. He showed us something you were doing in the quarantined zone, in the virtual reality room. The way you killed him. He thinks your a threat. He wants you dead. So do the others." "We need to get you out of here, where's Brea? And the guys? We need a way to get them on the ship and we need to take them somewhere. I'll explain later." "If they see you they'll kill you, Carters orders. I think their are some tranquilizer guns in the armory. Follow me." I turn on the cloak and follow her. Everyone is running, people with guns are rushing, trying to find me. I guess it really scared them what I was capable of. We make it to the armory and over to the guns. "Here, take these, one shot and they'll be out. Neon may need two. Brea should be at her living quarters. I'll meet you here with a ship to pick you up. Be ready." She runs put of the room and Jacob turns his cloak off, I hand him a gun and say "I'll find Neon and Brea, you get the others and meet back here." He nods and his cloak goes on and he leaves.
