Wings

Chapter 11

It's been three weeks since I've seen anyone. All I get is food into my small holding cell. I wonder why it's been taking them so long to get me to the courtroom. Honestly I thought I was going to go that night. Since that night some of my bruises have healed and I think my face is back to normal. While I'm in here I always think of Matt and Michael and what Janette might be thinking about up there. They haven't chained me to anything so it felt good for a change. Actually I've been trying to get out of this place to go and have a last conversation regretting everything in front of Michael and Matt or even just to look at him. It's taken me forever to find a moment of freedom.Then it came when I was planning, when I hear the keys jangling into the lock of the cell and the door opens.

"Sorry about the wait, but you're having your court hearing start today at five. So we need to take you to the court's holding cell." Oh no I was going to escape today. Rats, it should have taken me sooner to figure things out. Well I guess I'm going to do this the hard way now. I walk up to the detective and turn around so he can handcuff me. He puts one on and then goes for the other one but I take the situation and turn it around. I twist my arm the other way and hit him unconscious then hit the officer that was with him unconscious as well. I run outside to the offices I see no one standing outside. It must be a holiday or a big case outside.

When I run out I find myself surrounded by a van of police officers that are ready to export me to the courthouse. I take them all on and knock them all unconscious as well. I run through the town and try to find a nearby alleyway where I can get into to climb. The thing is there isn't any building that have alleyways. They're all stuck together and I'm running as fast as I can to get somewhere. I start to hear police car sirens behind me. They're going to catch me if I don't find a place to climb soon. I then find an edgy building that I can climb without going into an alleyway. As I climb I do it as fast as I can knowing that the police are behind me.

I got to the roof of the building and felt the air run through my body, welcoming me back to my home, or in other words the rooftops. I've never felt happier in my whole life. I'm running away and I can't help but smile even though it's a dire situation. I was on my way to a slim chance freedom. Even if I get caught I want to see Michael just one last time before the disease takes him. I'm now zooming feeling better than ever. I guess all my fatal wounds have healed, so that means I can go wild. I can see the police cars get smaller in the distance. Although I started to hear a new voice. It wasn't the sirens or microphones. It sounded like wings flapping. Oh my god! They sent the helicopters after me!

Now I'm running away from a helicopter. The only way a helicopter can't see me is if I go in between the buildings. I finally approach an alleyway and I fall in. Noticing that it connects with other back streets. The only thing that's wrong is the helicopter still knows where I am. So the only other way I can think of running away from the helicopter is to disappear from the surface. In other words I go under ground. I run until I find the opening for a sewer. I slide and kick the dentt between the sewer opening and the ground, allowing it to open up for me. THe I slide down into the sewer. Well, it's been awhile since I've been in here.

I scurry through the sewers trying to reach Michael. I'm running endlessly due to the fact that the police station is miles away from civilization. When I mean civilization I mean the malls, the schools etc... So now I'm stuck running forever to get to the one I truly love. No matter what I'm going to see Michael. I'm going to tell him how I feel and that I will never forget about him. I plan on getting their even if I can't run anymore. I'm going to see Michael again I will.

It's been hours, and police are down here looking for me. The smell is starting to get to me and it's stuffy in here. I'm starting to feel dizzy and I can't run in these circumstances anymore. Then I come up to a sign that has an arrow pointing up and there are words after it, but my vision is all jumbled up I can't see it clearly. I try to focus on the letters and I get something out of it. It says "Marel Avenue", but there's nowhere in Chicago with that name. Then I remember that the only place that has an "M" in the beginning of it's name is "Muriel Avenue". I finally got here. I then climb up to the top where across the road I see the hospital. I have to get there! I need to get there!
