Twentieth Chapter - Reunited

Finns POV

"Simon!" Salem yells to a boy who has his head on his knees.
"Salem?" The boy asked.
"Get up." I say.
"Um? Riley?" He asks.
"Finn. Get up." I say.

Taylor has been staring at me since I escaped. We met up at the park and she wouldn't stop taking quick side glances at me. "How weird," I thought. Then I realized that she's probably just trying to figure me out.

"Um, we're taking Riley, right?" Simon asked.
"..." I didn't respond.
"Right?..." Simon repeated.
"Do we really need to?" I asked.
"Well, uh, yeah?" Taylor peeped.
I turned my head towards hers, and she looked down at her shoes.

"We're taking him. We have just enough room. Wren and her sister are waiting outside for us, so hurry up and get on your feet, Simon." She said, and put out her hand.

Simon looked at her, and smiled. He grabbed her hand without hesitation, and was surprised by how strong Salem actually was. She pulled him up with no effort at all.
Simon wobbled around for a split second, then turned his head to where Riley was snoring obnoxiously.

"So..." He started,
"Yes." Salem answered his sentence.
"Oookay..." He said, and attempted to unlock Riley's cell.
"Doesn't work like that, dude." I said.
"Well, sorry, I've never been in jail before. Help me out?" he asked.
"Sure." I said, and walked over to my brothers cell. He was sitting on the floor cross-legged, head down. He sat against the wall, with his hands resting on his knees.

"He definitely doesn't look like he's sleeping." Simon smiled.
I smiled as well, but didn't show it.
I grabbed a bobby pin from Taylor, who happily gave  it to me.

"So your specialty is lock-picking?" Simon asked.
I turned around, and stared at him for a moment.
"No. Well, maybe. Yes?" I said.
"Thanks for the clear answer." Simon said.
"Yeah no problem."
I adjusted the pin into the lock, and moved it up and down until the lock popped.
"So... Yes?" Simon asked again.

I bent down over my twin, and shook his shoulders. He always wakes up when I shake his shoulders.

"Huhhhmm?" He groaned.
"Riley let's go." I said.
"Fi..." He asked.
"Yeah it's Finn. Let's go, we're breaking you out." I said.
"Why..?" He asked, slowly waking up.
"Because- Because we are! Let's go." I yelled whilst whispering.
"Okay fine." He said, opening his eyes and stumbling to get up. He looked like an old drunk guy.

I grabbed his arm, and turned around.
"We're ready." I said, and we left.

Wren's POV

Why did I agree to going to New York? Why?! And with my SISTER?! Even worse! As much as I like New York, I do not like my sister. Apparently we're going to get an apartment together, and my sister will be my mom. We'll all have fake identity's, and we get to choose our names. I wonder what I want mine to be...
Ivy Hawks my mind immediately thought. Ivy Hawks was the first crush I'd ever had. I do like the name Ivy... But we all have to agree on our names. Who will I be now, what will I be now-?

I look up and see a group of 5 running towards me. Yep, that must be Simon, Salem, Taylor, Finn and Riley. Too many names to remember.
I unlock the doors as they hop in, and I motion for Fern to drive. She does, and she makes us all pull forward after she slams the breaks.

"Woah-" Taylor said.
"Sorry." Fern whispered.

She then speeds right up, pushing us backwards this time. Eventually, she slows down just enough for us to stay in a comfortable position.
"New York, hey?" Fern breaks the enjoyable silence.
"Yeah. Why?" Salem says.
"Just wondering why you chose New York."
"It's huge, and it's got great hiding places." Simon defended Salem.
"Cool." Fern says, and it gets quiet again.

Two minutes later, a loud thunder-like noise fills the car.
"Jesus, Riley." Finn says, pushing Riley's arm.
The snoring stops, but comes back just as quick.
"Oh my god." Simon says, plugging his ears.

This is going to be a very, very long car ride.
