Shattered #Wattys2016

Chapter 10

It was around 5 am in the morning, and Nicki and I had backpacks, and were walking our way through the airport. She had on a hoodie and sweat pants.

"What now?" she asked as we passed through security with ease. We had an FBI escort in case we were followed.

"We make our way to Florida. Hopefully it's as nice as they say,"

"Same here. I hope it's next to a beach," She said with a giggle. She seemed to have forgotten all about the danger, which I was rather glad about. She's becoming that fun girl I lo-like...I like. Anyways, she was sucking on a red lollipop, which was odd for 5 am. I was drinking my coffee with cream and two sugars. I was playing the Episode game. I was rather board and when I saw it, I got hooked.

"You play that?" Nicki asked as she looked over my shoulder.

"Yeah...I'm bored," I laughed. Our flight was called up, and surprisingly, now that Whitney is in charge, we got first class tickets. The seats were comfortable and reclined. I limped most of the way. My leg was killing me, but I didn't want to take my pills or I'd be too damn sleepy to do my job. The pain was annoying and excruciating all at the same time. Nicki saw me, and helped me along, though I rebutted against it.

"Come on Janet. I know your tough, but sometimes tough girls need some help sometimes. I can see you limping and the way your eyes squint when you put weight on it. Let me help you," She said. I rolled my eyes with a nod. She supported my lower back and I hopped mostly on my good leg. Once we got on, we sat down and I asked if they had a step stool so I could put my leg up. They gave me a small adman, and it felt good to relax my leg. Nicki opened the covering on the window and looked out at the other plane next to us and the early morning sky. The sun was barely rising and the night black turned into a royal purple.

"It's beautiful out. I am so glad that we can leave here,"

"Same...I've been wanting to take a trip for a while, but I never had the time," I say as I grabbed a bottled water and took two pills and reclined. I sighed. My leg was beginning to throb.

"You ok?"

"My leg is killing me," I groaned and pulled my pants leg up and looked. The bandage was covered neatly, which I needed to change out when we got to the safe house. I felt like passing out, but I stayed awake, just until we were going to take off. I sighed and looked over at Nicki already wrapped up in a blanket with the pillow under her head. She hardly got any sleep, she was too busy making sure I was comfortable and she had a nightmare about the murder again. I decided to make myself comfortable and started reading The Color Purple. The plane was taxied out to the runway, and finally took off into the clouds. I felt my eyes become droopy, so I set my book down, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

When I woke up I looked to see the sun up a little more, with the sky becoming a shade of blue. Nicki was still asleep next to me, snoring a little. I sat up and stretched, feeling the tight stitches in my thigh. I was already annoyed enough with that stupid wound. I looked on at the two agents who were awake, listening to music. I sighed, and got up, making my way to the bathroom. The plane was in some shaky turbulence, so walking was hard, especially with my limp. I managed and the bathroom was rather nice. Another perk of first class. I washed my hands and walked back only to fall. I shrieked at the pain as I felt my flesh tear apart.

"Got Dammit!!" I bit my lip hard as some of the other passengers helped me up and too my seat.

"Shit...oh God,"

"What happened?" Nicki said waking up, looking at my now blood stained pants leg. I pulled the leg up and unwrapped the bandages, seeing my stitches had torn. Blood was coming out of my leg.
