In love with his own killer

Chapter 40
Treasure POV

"Yea we're being followed." I confirmed.

"I'm calling Elijah." Alora quickly went through her small purse looking for her cell phone. When she pulled it out, it didn't take her more than thirty seconds to have the phone pressed against her ear.

I turned back, keeping my eyes on the car behind us. Just based on the frustrated groan Alora released, she didn't have to tell us because we already knew that Elijah didn't answer.

"Something must be happening for him to not pick up the phone." She concluded.

"Okay we have to come up with a plan before they make a move." I said. They're not gonna follow us the entire time. At some point they'll pull out some weapons and everything would just look ugly from there and we can't sit here and do nothing.

"Besides the weapons we're already carrying, is there more in here?" Liz stepped in, pointing all around the car.

"Yea we do, every car has some." Bianca got out of her seat, opening places that had guns and knives.

We all found an extra gun that we'll use for backup. "Now what?" Nova questioned.

"We need to get out the car."

"Like jump?"

"Yea. We don't have enough weapons to stop the car. They have rifles and we have hand guns there's no way we'll win." Let's not forget that we don't we know who we're up against.

"But where are we gonna go if we jump?" Great question. I looked out the window to try to complete the plan I was brainstorming in my head. Looking over on the side were some tall grass that we could hide in for a while but after that we would need to immediately run because we'd be out in the open with no cover.

Squinting my eyes trying to adjust to the night, I recognized this was nearby the supermarkets that Elijah showed me on his tour. "We need to drive closer to the supermarkets." I tapped the driver so he knows I'm talking to him. "It's full of civilians we could mix with them and it'll give us some time to run." I spoke to the girls now.

They all nodded so I continued. "What's your name?" I asked the driver. "remy."

"Okay Remy I need you to listen carefully. You're going to drive as fast as you can try to get as many cars in between us as you can. Then when we get closer, on the side, the grass is tall so we'll hide in there while they still follow you thinking that we're still in the car.

We're gonna let the car pass us and by then we should get the market but before we do we have to hit something on the car rather tires, a window anything to avert their attention to Remy."

"Then we'll be in the market waiting for them to come to us." Bianca finished where I was heading.

"so when they get out the car we'll see their faces and know what we're working with."

"What about Remy?" Liz worried for the poor scared man.

"Try to find someone, call anyone and see who'll answer the phone and tell them what's going on. If you don't reach anyone just drive to one of Elijah's warehouses. You'll have men there to protect you." Alora spoke to Remy giving him his own instructions. He nodded his head while trying to keep steady on the road.

Gun shots hitting the car took us out of our little brainstorming session and focusing on what's happening. We all ducked as glass started to fall in the car. "Remy, go." I shouted over the bullets.

Remy stepped on the gas trying to do what we discussed. He swerved in and out of lanes making the bullets stop. He got some cars in between us and that was our chance to prepare ourselves. We all started checking our guns seeing how full it was.
