"Jason McCann has no past, neither does he have a future."

Jason's pov

Hailey sat quietly beside me, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. I could sense her unease, but she didn't say a word. I glanced in the rearview mirror, my eyes scanning the road behind us. 

We were safe, at least for now.

"Where are we going?" She spoke for the first time, since we started. Her voice— soft and hesitant.

"We have a safe house..nearby." I answered, feeling her curious eyes on me.

I couldn't help but steal glances at Hailey. She was even more beautiful up close, with her bright brown eyes and tanned skin. 

"Are you like..this silent mostly?" I heard her ask.

Holding back an urge to laugh and roll my eyes, I simply nodded. The less you talk, the less you bond and the less you get attached. My hands searched for my buddy.

"Light it up for me." I handed her a lighter. 

"Can you not smoke?" She requested. I didn't exactly expect her to protest, I raised my eyebrows, meeting her eyes for a moment. 

"And can you also focus on the road ahead? I wouldn't wanna crash." Her voice dripped of sweetness, but you couldn't deny the girl was demanding and—

Gorgeous.

She was definitely above average, and she seemed to know it. Her confidence was unmatched, even though she seemed a little reserved at the moment, she's definitely not scared of me, which for some reason is comforting. 

"Hailey," Her name perfectly rolled out of my tongue, I like the sound of it. "You don't have to be scared, okay? I won't do anything to you unless you get on my bad side. You understand that?"

She nods. 

"So, you aren't gonna kidnap me or-" Her voice lowered to a whisper. "or kill me?"

I couldn't help but laugh at her innocence. "Why sweetheart, what are you hiding from me? Are you really this sweet to everyone? I know you're hiding something, aren't you, Hailey? Are you here to get Jason McCann arrested?"

I teased her, what was the worst she could do? Anyways, I had other things to care about.

"What? No, no, no. Why would you think that? In fact, I should be scared for my life. After all, you're Jason M-McCann." She stuttered, nervousness clear in her voice. 

"Please don't harm me?" She pleaded.

I smirked. I was, after all, the most wanted criminal in Oakland but that didn't mean I'd harm this beautiful and innocent girl who happened be stuck with me. 

"Of course, I won't harm you unless you give me a reason to."

She was silent for a minute before she muttered a 'Thankyou'.
