Agent Charming || ❀

Chapter 12

"Don't just sit there, drive." Opal shouted at Lucas as they threw themselves into the car.

"We just got in the car, let me at least get the keys in the ignition before you start moaning at me." Lucas hissed, fishing the keys out his pocket.

"Did you just use the word moaning without turning it dirty? People can change!" Opal gasped in fake enthusiasm.

"Oh shut up I'll be back to that as soon as we get rid of these guys."

"Great I can't wait!"

"I'm sure you can't." Lucas smirked at her, before turning his attention to the windscreen, ready to drive off.

"Just drive."

Lucas revved the engine to life, tired screeching against the ground as he died out the car park. The sound of a car speeding closely behind them ringed out, Opal looked into the wing mirror to see a red Ford railing them.

"Cheap company car, henchman must not get paid very much."

"It's not like we get much better." Lucas pointed out as he suddenly sped round a corner on the road.

"True I suppose but at least we work for a good cause."

"Yeah because that makes it worth it." He smiled at her sarcastically, he was more into money than cause. After seeing Opal pout at his words he refocused his attention to the road, once again turning a corner in attempt to throw them off.

"Are they still following us?" Opal peered back into the wing mirror, noting solemnly that the guy she had tasered was driving.

"Yeah they are quite determined for low paid henchman."

"That might be my fault."

"What did you do?" Lucas turned round to face her quickly, eyebrow raised at her curiously.

"I just tasered him and handcuffed him to table. I didn't even hit him. His ego is bruised because I fake flirted with him."

"Is your only skill flirting with agents?"

"Don't be jealous you can't do the same. You could always try flirting with Alex to get information. Although I think he's too far in love with Noah for that." Opal smirked to herself, thinking about her two friends.

"I would love to annoy Noah but I don't swing that way."

"And I don't swing for grimy enemy agents."

"Point taken." Lucas laughed genuinely, keeping eyes glued to the road.

"There's a secluded safe house in the woods over there if you can lose them we can wait there over night. They shouldn't find us that way."'

"A whole night stuck alone with you how great, I can't wait! Hold on tight I'm going to get rid of these idiots."

"I'm not exactly happy about it either." Opal grimaced, grabbing ahold of the seat in preparation.

Lucas grasped the wheel tightly, rearing down a small turning suddenly. He sped down the small dirt road they had ended up on at an dangerous pace, stones flying off to the side. The elistas agents were still following them closely behind, clearly not being thrown off by the choppy movements. In a last attempt to lose them Lucas unexpectedly turned the car, driving off on the grass in the direction of the woods. The car turned constantly, narrowly missing trees as it squeezed through gaps.
