"Start the car!" Lyris shouted, throwing herself into the backseat. Issac turned his head quickly, catching sight of the robot cops getting on their speeders. His mind raced as he injected the keyhole with his fathers keys.
The sleeve of his middle school jacket falling over his wrist, a part of the fabric that made him annoyed. He had exactly expected his best friend to come running into the car, he thought she'd be able to sneak past the cops. Looks like that's not what happened by the looks of her panting with her backpack grasped in her hands.
"Did you get them?"
"Hurry up!" Lyris said back.
"Did you get the goddamn supplies?" Issac shouted back. He turned the keys, signaling a sound from the computer screen. Loud rock music began blaring from the small radio.
"Of course I did!" Lyris replied, not bothering to pull down her seatbelt as the engine roared to life. Issac turned the steering wheel, fiercely around. The jolt caused their bodies to swerve to the side as he kicked the gas pedal.
Without looking, he crashed through the California computer sign. Lyris watched as three robot cops came filing out on speeders after them. Her short hair, lost a strand in the wind, whipping violently.
Issac watched as the speed dial sped from 45 to 85. He secretly loved the feeling of driving too fast, but then again he quite hated it. His curly black hair, began dancing with the wind as he swerved another sharp turn.
The beat of an old rock song from the 80s began playing. Lyris and Issac both recognize the song right away from its guitar strings. The sound of the drum beats kicking in was exactly Master of Puppets by Metallica.
"Can you turn that up?" Lyris asked.
"Certainly," Issac smiled as he turned up the song, "What did you find?"
🎶End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction🎶
"I found the electrical bonding tape, an agonizer, and the plasma bomb we've been looking for." Lyris told him, searching through her withering old backpack patched up with sewing from his mother.
"Good!" Issac shouted to her,"It was worth it!"
He took a look through the small side door window, just to see the cops speeders speeding up. Issac's brain began to swirl. He had to think about this logically, even making adjustments to a new life was harder. What could he do to lose the cops?
