Great Escape - II

Danny's POV-

Y/n lay on the bed of the motel, along with her scattered things. She slept like an angel, peaceful at last. Her sleeping on the bed she was extra disgusted and precautious about really showed just how exhausted the poor girl was. I put my camera down on the table, giving into the need of her touch. I sighed, slipping into bed with her. I melted into her warmth that radiated off of her skin like wax to a flame. She stirred before her eyes fluttered open. "Come here." She opened her arms for me and I set myself between them. I never realised just how tired I was before I started to sink into a slumber... easily.

The next morning...

Y/n's POV-

I woke up, we were alive strangely enough... and so was the pain in my head. I shook the man beside me awake. "Hm?" He looked at me, sucking in a deep breath as he woke up. "Painkillers." I frowned. His eyes widened. "Shit. I forgot... we need to find a pharmacy." He sat up. "Stay, just for a moment... I want to act like normal people just for a morning." I held his wrist. He opened his mouth to object and when he looked down to me, he paused. "O-of course." He sunk back down into the mattress with me. "Danny... I'm so tired of running, let's just forget about everything and live in the car in the middle of nowhere." I was partially joking, but I wasn't lying when I said I was tired of running. "Well... no more murder when we get to Fulton. We should just settle down and live." It felt so refreshing for Danny to be saying that. "You... you mean that?" I snickered in pure disbelief. "Yes. If that's what you want." He shrugged. We sat in adoring silence before noises came from the TV... unpleasant noises.

We both sat up against the headboard and our eyes were glued to the small rectangular screen.

Mikaelo Novak - Founder of Novak Industries lashes out about daughter's 'assassination'.

"Whatever scumbag did this... I will find you and kill you with my two hands."

How were the police so lazy and stupid... lord. But at the same time, fear struck through me as the angry man yelled through the screen. Danny seemed at ease, the opposite. "Right, Mickey... calm it." He smirked as he changed the channel... landing on the only other one we could watch which was another news channel. Delightful. "Mentetwin PD think that the perpetrator of the crime was a young man named Danny Johnson, who resided in an apartment block in central Mentetwin. No signs have been seen of him since and people are on the watch."

Danny and I held each other, bored out of our minds and it had only been 5 minutes since we lost interest in the TV. "Do you think they're gonna find us?" "Well if you're so worried we could hit the road, this room's getting to me." He gestured to the car keys. "We do have 6k to spend." He smiled down at me. "All I want right now is food..." I rubbed my tummy. He got up. "Can do, right grab all of our things, and off we go."

15 minutes later

We checked out in the lobby and headed for our car, tossing everything in its newly 'rightful' place, the backseat. I fiddled with the beanie in my hands. Danny cleared his throat, waking me up a bit. "Seatbelt." He smiled. "Oh. Sorry." I quickly buckled up. "Off we go." He started the car up and I turned the radio on. 'Don't fear (the reaper)' came on. I liked the song, it reminded me of childhood. Almost straight after, Danny's phone rung. He nodded to me, signalling that I should take it, since he was driving. It turned out to be Amanda and I put her on speaker.

"Danny, what did you do..." She chuckled through the phone. "It doesn't matter, I'm out of Pennsylvania anyway." He clenched the leather of the steering wheel. "Go far, ok. Don't come back, Danny. You wouldn't get out of it even if you tried." There was evident sadness in Amanda's voice, though it was stern. "I won't, I need to go though, I'm driving." "Ok, Danny, be safe." She exhaled. "See you." "See you." Amanda hung up. The look lingered on his face... the look of knowing he wouldn't truly see her anytime soon or maybe even at all. I placed one hand atop his that rested on his leg, squeezing it slightly. He seemed less tense at this. I leant in to put a quick kiss on his cheek. "I love you." "I love you too."

Sorry this is short but the next chapter will be kind of a finisher to this as it completes the entire book. I hope you enjoy the fluff in the next chapter. <3
