—Maisie's POV—

We drove for a long while until the sun is high in the sky. The pale blue sky shimmered weakly under the blazing ball of fire. Despite the air conditioning at maximum output, it was as hot as an oven in here. And it didn't help with Consternation breathing down all of our necks. The Large TV Man gave a snort before trying to chew my hair, using his TV extended jaw thingies to try and grab it. I swiped my hair before those jaws could close, I learnt my lesson with the other one.... 

"Uhhhh Maisie could you like hold it up higher?" Asked Felix, focusing on driving the jeep up a sand dune.

"Sure!" I held the map higher, ignoring the aches of my arms.

"Thanks." He said.

"Are we there yet?" Bruno groaned in boredom.

"Not yet." Felix replied with a smile.

"Are we there yet?!" He begged again.

"You just asked 2 seconds ago..." Boreas said with his eyes closed in concentration.

"NO I DID NOT!" Bruno slapped the worn leather seat. "I ASKED THAT ABOUT 1 HOUR AGO!"

"Pfttt yeah." Felix said.

"IMMA GONNA LET CONSTERNATION EAT YOU UP!" He bellowed at Felix.

"Ohhhhh I'm so scared!" Felix mockingly exaggerated while taking his hands off the steering wheel and doing a fake scream gesture. He then rested his hands on the wheel again.

"YOU SON OF A—" He was cut off as another car suddenly materialised in front  of us. "CAR!"

Felix wrenched the wheel to the left, scraping the sides of both cars in the process. Our car soared in the car for a while before landing in a bone-shaking bang in the sand. The other car also severed away, I swear I saw.... CRASH! My world spun with sand like I was suddenly tossed in a clothes dryer. SCREECH! My body was tugged back into my seat as I coughed. Black spots zipped across my vision as I sluggishly fumbled for the seat belt. Click. I dropped onto the sand coated scalding metal of the car. Sand flew into my eyes, I blinked rapidly while straining my ears. Boreas groaned from behind while Bruno made panicked noises. Through the tears in my eyes, I saw Felix hanging limply upside down and blood stained his flailing hair. Felix! I crawled towards him but somebody grabbed my legs and pulled me out. AH! The sun hit my eyes so I covered my face, sounds of guns loading hit me. Oh dang.

"WAIT! STAND DOWN!" Somebody familiar barked. "Maisie?!"

I coughed out some more sand before trying to see the shadow. It took me a while that I wasn't staring at a shadow, I was looking at Minor.

"MINOR?!" Oh shit. I thought he was dead thanks to that Prefect. "OH YOU'RE ALIVE!"

He heaved me up and patted sand off me. "No thanks to that asshole. I heard he took you to Russia and left you there?"

"No I escaped... it's a long story..." I said. "WAIT! There are people in there!"

"Okay!" Minor turned to the troop of CameramanSpeakermen. "Clear them out!"

As I watched them jump into action, Minor went to the driver's seat and pulled out Felix. His face was stained with blood while his eye was closed. Somebody else managed to take Boreas out, he was pretty chill and knowing that he's being rescued. But Bruno....

"GET YA UGLY HANDS OFF ME YA LOUSY ASSHOLES!" Bruno howled as he kicked uselessly up sand. "MAISIE!"

"It's okay. They're my friends." I calmed him down.
