The onset

He took one final look at his home. He was going to miss it. Olivia stood on the balcony with a light cloth draped over her shoulders. It moved in sync with the gentle wind. "Derrick,"she called out to him. He kissed her on the cheek and hugged her. " North Carolina is never too far you know ", he said pulling away from her embrace. She nodded. She was finally letting go of her baby. " I love you. " she said.
" Love you more " She pulled him into her embrace and finally let go.
Derrick juggled his keys and started the engine. With a soft purr, the blue Mercedes Benz sped off the road. Liv let out a sigh before she turned to enter the house . After a long tiring trip of three and half hours, Derrick arrived. The roof was open. " take a right turn" he followed the map's direction to his hostel .
He pulled up to a stop. It seemed there was traffic. He rhythmically tapped his fingers on the steer as he jammed to the music . He subconsciously glanced at the driver's mirror and noticed a girl running towards his car. The lights turned green. With a smooth dive , the girl got into his car. " The heck ! What are you doing in my car?"
" Shut up and drive !"She replied in the same tone .
She looked back .The men in black suits were running towards the car. " Drive you idiot! They're coming!" Derrick looked in the mirror . He found himself driving away from the men . The men panted in defeat or so they thought . Two black SUVs were on their tail . " Drive faster !" Derrick did as told and sped on the highway . " Who are you ?" he asked.
She wore a hoodie so her face was not visible. "Driveeee!" He made a quick turn to avoid the school bus . Little did he know that it was a dead end . The girl hissed.
The SUVs had caught up with them . They were surrounded. " Miss Alison it's time to go home "the boss announced." Enough for today just get out of the car while I'm being nice."
" Fuck !" Derrick turned to face her. " Who are you?"he asked in a calm tone. She rolled her eyes at him and got out of the car." Fine Steve I'm here . Enough trouble for today . Let's go home "
" On my signal you run"she whispered to Derrick who was beside her . Before he could wrap his head around what she said , she grabbed his hand and run towards the beach. " Shit! This girl is too much "
" Follow her! "he ordered.
