"Hold onto your horses!" Jack screamed as he and Lani followed down a path on Jacks bike. He rode at full speed, continuing on the steep path down. Every few seconds he would get a bit of airtime.

"Horses?" Lani asked, as she held tight to Jacks waist.

"It's a metaphor. It means something that's not intended in a way. I don't know. "WooOOOOOOooOh!" Jack screamed as he flung down the steep path.

As they were flying down the hill, Lani suddenly had a flashback. She was in the back of a car with Dr. Williams. She sat on hay and tried to look over her shoulder at the drivers seat, but saw nothing.

"Hello?" She called shaking as the car jolted form side to side. She received no response and called again. "Hello? Who are you?"

"I'm Dr. Williams, and you are one special little girl, Lani." He spoke cheerfully.

"What do you- where am I?" She asked, starting to panic.

"Your thankfully gone from your life. Welcome to mine. Have you ever heard of a little think called a virus? How bout a vaccine?" He asked, trying to act all friendly. Lani wasn't having it.

"Get me out. Now." She raged, sternly shaking the metal bars separating them. "Get me out!"

"Your funny." He said, snickering like a madman. He continued down the road.

"Get me out!!" Suddenly she realized she was speaking in real life.

"Are you ok?" Jack asked her helpfully, stopping the bike and parking. "Do you want to go home?" Before she could answer, she saw two bulky men come up to them.

"Hey shit head." It was Troy and Mason. "Where have you been all day? Who's this? Wait, isn't this Lani? You fucking creep. I knew you've been hiding her."

"I'm not. Now leave me alone." Jack sassed back. He began hopping back on his bike when Troy came up to him.

"Where do you think your going?" Troy asked, grabbing the bike, but was kicked by Jack who began speeding off.

"Shit shit shit. We're in deep shit." Jack spoke to Lani. They had a hard time continuing on the path when Jack had an idea. He let go of his bike and it began riding back down the hill, smashing Troy in the face and Mason in the foot. He sped off as they cursed out his name.

"Shit." Lani said.
