Calum walked next to Emma with his hands in his pockets. He followed her out to her car in the parking lot "it's been a while" he said.
She nodded "yeah it has" Emma unlocked her car.
Calum got into the passengers seat. The rest of them piled into the back after putting their luggage in the trunk.
She started her car "you want to tell me what's going on?" She asked pulling out of the parking spot.
"First of all when we'er in public you have to use our fake names" Calum said.
"Fake names? Why do you have fake names?" She focused on the road.
"We broke out of jail" Michael said dryly from the back.
"What!" She asked slamming on the breaks.
Everyone in the car was forced forward.
"Hey!" Michael said.
"Calum you got arrested!?" She turned to him "and-and now you're dragging me into this? No, no I'm not doing this I'm calling the police"
"What!? No we'er family!" Calum said grabbing her arm "Emma I didn't do anything wrong! It's okay we didn't do anything wrong!"
"Well you obviously did!" The car grew silent except for the honking from outside. Emma drove on.
"Emma please" Luke said putting his hand on her shoulder "we need your help"
She didn't respond.
"You have to use our fake names okay" Calum said "I'm Thomas" he said "Ashton is Fletcher and I guess you know Luke is Robert and Michael is Gor-"
"Daniel! My name is Daniel" Michael interrupted.
Emma sighed "what about that guy Jack"
"I'm pretty sure he's staying with Amelia" Luke said.
"Wait I don't understand" Emma said "are you like running from the law?" She asked.
"Well when you put it like that..it sounds kind of bad" Ashton said.
"Think of it as a big game of hide and seek" Michael said "we'er hiding and the police are seeking"
"And Emma, we really need to win this game" Calum said "please"
She gripped the steering wheel "yeah, yeah okay I'll help you guys" she said.
"Yes! Emma I knew you'd help!" Calum smiled and hugged her.
"Driving! Cal I'm driving!"
"Sorry" he laughed.
"So are we staying at your house?" Ashton asked.
"Yeah I guess, we'er almost there" Emma drove down the palm tree lined road. She looked in the rear view mirror and saw Luke looking there too. He quickly moved his eyes away and she smiled.
