Chapter 14:

-Katniss-

“Get in” Haymitch huffed and I got in the rental van.

“Not my fault!” I say.

“Sure” he says as he got in the passenger seat.

I huffed and crossed my arms.

“Really! That woman just accused me of kidnapping! She of all people should be arrested” I spit out.

“We know” Clove says.

“Great” I sarcastically.

“But you owe us” Finn taunts me.

“I owe you?” I ask in disbelief.

“Yes you do” Johanna says.

“If it weren’t for the amazing cover story made by Peeta, they wouldn’t have believed you” Gale says.

I moved myself to the backseat so that they could fit in the middle row. Clove and Peeta sat beside me.

“What story?” I ask. “

Oh dear” I hear Cato from the driver’s seat.

“Spill” I order.

Annie and Glimmer share sheepish glances.

“Yeah… About that” Marvel says and looks away.

“I thought that you could play some rabid mad person” Peeta says.

“So you told them I’m mental?!”

“Not exactly” he says, rubbing the back of his neck.

“What do you mean? That’s exactly what you said” Haymitch starts then continues to imitate Peeta’s voice. “Officers, that’s my girlfriend and she has a mental problem and last I’ve read, it’s against the law to arrest mentally ill people unless the offense is high” I stare at them wide eyed.

“Well you do look haggard” Annie says. I never thought I’d say these words.

“Glimmer do you mind helping me with this?” I ask her, gesturing to my messed up state.

“Finally you asked” she says.

“Oh and there’s one more thing…” Haymitch says.

“What?” we all ask.

“CAR!” Haymitch roars

CLIFFHANGER!!!!!

No I’m just kidding xxx

Fortunately, Cato was able to swerve in time.

“Why not look at the road?” Johanna says sarcastically.

Cato grunts and keeps driving.

“What was that Haymitch?” Marvel asks.

“Yes the officers said- Holy fuck!” he cursed and Cato stepped on the brakes.

“There’s a building in front of you God dammit!” he yells at Cato.

“Oh” he pales.

“Well we’re here” Annie says weakly.

I smile at her and we loaded out of the car. The staff and other people were staring at me. Must be the clothes and hair….and everything else.
