Lucky

3

Lucky had never flown a day in his life and now that he was doing it, he could add it to the list of things that he did not enjoy.

For the second time since the plane had taken off, he tilted his head over in a futile attempt to enjoy the view. The clouds were nice, he had to admit but over all it was just another reminder of how far up they actually were and he found himself rushing to the restroom as his stomach began to churn.

When he returned to his seat, he didn't bother responding to the derisive look that East sent his way from the other isle besides Jackson who was typing away busily at her laptop. "Flying's not your thing eh'?" Lucky shot him a scathing glare before trying his best to relax into the not so plush seats. "So is there actually some sort of game plan for if things so awry or are we just bullshitting our way through this like usual?" Lucky kept his voice low as he spoke and honestly didn't expect much of an answer, he just needed a distraction from the fact that they were flying thousands of miles above land. God he missed land. "Whichever comes first. To be completely honest with you, we're going to be bullshitting our way through the majority of this trip."

East had this really nice thing where he never sugar-coated anything and made Lucky feel worse. Not on purpose of course, well not always, but it just kind of happened. Like now. "Fun." Lucky muttered under his breath. East shrugged nonchalantly as he pulled out his phone. "We're going to be there in a few minutes, maybe you can use that big brain of yours to come up with something while we wait." Lucky scoffed, not bothering to take East's words seriously, seeing that he didn't even know where the hell he would be sleeping that night.

"Okay." He 'relaxed' back into the chair and sighed heavily, waiting patiently.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have landed safely in North Dakota. Hopefully, you all enjoyed your flight and you'll enjoy your stay just as much." Lucky groaned, "Now we're jinxed." The pretty flight attendant shot him a look before she returned to wherever the hell we were before.

Lucky Thought that airport security sucked, but found out that it was apparently the easiest part compared to the parking lot security.

Three huge men surrounded the car that East had rented to get them to North Dakota safely. Now Lucky was fully aware of their lack of disguise, but he honestly didn't expect anyone to recognize them anyways. Arabella wore a casual outfit that didn't stand out, everything was pretty inconspicuous and the fact that they already had a threat and they weren't even where they needed to be bummed Lucky out.

He sighed heavily through his nose, trying to look as surprised as possible as Arabella shoved her small hands into her pockets. "Can we help you?" One of the men, tall, buff with a black t-shirt on strode forward, folding his hands casually in front of him. "Yeah, we are part of airport security and there has been a bit of suspicious activities going on and we just need to make sure that you folks aren't a part of it." Jackson raised an eyebrow at the men and tossed a lock of her dark hair over her shoulder. "Is it something serious?" Mock concern filled her voice and the man smiled softly at her before glancing back at the men behind him. "No not at all, it's minor. We just have to take safety precautions is all. We just need your names, occupation and your intentions on your trip here."

Jackson nodded the small smile reappearing on her pink lips. "Absolutely, I totally understand, but do you mind showing some ID? Giving out personal information is a huge problem these days, you don't want that stuff in the wrong hands." Lucky watched the conversation quietly, his body tense. The men exchanged glances once more before the man reached into his pocket. "Sure sweetheart."

Lucky didn't even bother waiting for him to pull his hands out before he launched himself forward, barely missing Jackson as he drove his knee into the man's body, pushing him back into the hard metal of the car behind him. Jackson wasted no time in grabbing the man behind Lucky and twisting his arm behind his back and driving her knee into his nose, much to the man' s disapproval.

The man pushed Lucky off of him and onto the ground, pulling out a small Italian knife and bringing it down towards Lucky's head. "Ah!" Lucky grunted as the knife scraped the floor next to him. East pushed past him, pushing his equally large opponent to the ground and bringing his booted foot down onto his collar bone. The man let out a shriek but was quickly silenced as East's fist connected with his nose.

Before he could congratulate his comrade, Lucky grasped the man's arm and pushed him back into the car, not missing a beat before he held his hands together as if he were about to hit a volleyball and brought his hands down onto his head. "Who the hell are they and how did they already know?" He stood up quickly, pushing the man's limp body away from the door of their ride. "I don't know. But we need to hurry up and get to where we're going before we get more unexpected visitors.

Arabella straightened out her clothes before walking over to the passengers side, she sat down, carrying her small carry on bag in her lap. "Let's go." The adrenaline rush immediately died down and Lucky found his heart rate slowing down. He knelt down taking the weapons off of the men before grabbing his and East's bags and walking towards the car and dropping down into the back seat. East nodded at him thankfully before walking to his own seat, and starting the car with the keys that he had gotten earlier.

"Sometimes I really hate this job." East grunted, rubbing his fist slowly before driving out towards where ever the hell we were going,
