One step before me

-{Chapter 21: Running for life}-

The vision from yesterday really took a grip on me and shook me. I looked at both sides before crossing the street. This is the first and the last time I take a walk through the city. When you try to be outgoing and independent but fail miserably. As I was reflecting on life, my phone vibrated in my pocket. I answered it, and guess who it was; the only person who would bother to call me, my babysitter mister Blood Joker. "Hello?" I answered the phone. "Whatever you do, don't look behind you," BJ said intensely. "why- what do you mean?" I asked with a grin and was about to turn my head around but was stopped by BJ's voice. "I said don't turn around, stupid! Somebody is following you while carrying a gun" The hacker said. The comment made me feel cold. A gun?

Walk straight ahead and then turn right. Maybe you should start running as soon as you turn right. You might shake him off that way" He suggested. I hastily walked straight, feeling the adrenaline rush through me. My mind could only scream RUN. As soon as you turn, run. Run and never look back.

"SH*T. WREN GET OUT OF THERE" The hacker exclaimed. Scared and taken back by the sudden warning I almost tripped myself. I wanted to ask him by detail, by more specific orders, a better explanation, or just something more then what he just threw at me. Time has always been fair and square, not cheap nor greedy. A gunshot was shot right behind me, a few more inches and it would have hit me. My body moved on its own; I was now running through the side of the road like crazy and several gunshots were following behind me. Everything went so fast. This was a matter of life and death. Every window I had passed shattered soon after due to the bullets ruining the harmony as it went right through the glass. It over deafened me for a while. My body was running in any direction possible. There was only one goal. Get to safety. After a short while, the gunshots stopped shooting massively. I turned once again, in hope of the bullets miraculously come to an end. Maybe I am no so lost when it comes to ability as I thought. I heard my name being called out somehow. It could have been my imagination, or maybe it was BJ calling out to me through the phone, who else would it be though?

When it was too late I just realized that I ran into a dead end. How ironic. This is a clear 'your life ends here too'. I turned around and saw my best friend; creepy stalker dude; no, not BJ but the white-masked man. Yeah. The stalker dude. Who knows how much he knows about me. Creepfreak. The deep breaths and my puls were now the only things I could hear, my heart almost jumped out of my chest. He was slowly walking towards me, as he did, I backed away. As I reached the wall, the person also stopped before lifting the gun and pointing it at me. So this is a double dead end. What the freak am I even talking about. We stood like that in a few seconds, as if we were communicating through telepathy.

Our small chat or whatever it was broke down when someone took a tight grip on the white-masked man and slammed him harshly into the wall, followed by some kung fu karate moves (WAY beyond my leag that is). The person took a hold on my arm and pulled me away. My little elementary brain was trying to progress everything that just happened now. I was now running for dear life, lead by Timathy. Yes, Timathy, who came out of nowhere. We ran for a while, as we did, I tried to keep the 100 questions I had for him to myself. Now is not the time to have a nice talk over some odd matters. "We are almost there. My car is over there," Timathy said while his bag was facing me. Ironically enough, my legs gave up on me a few seconds later after his short comment. I was now sitting on the ground, unable to raise up. This also stopped poor Timathy. He took a step backword when I fell to the ground, due to me taking his arm with me, he somehow ended up bending. He gave me a short look, out of concern before lifting me up and heading towards his car. Somehow he unlocked the car while holding me before opening the door and threw me in the backseat.

He himself jumped in the front seat and the car was driven in a blink of an eye. I was roughly pressed to the seat, due to the immense force from the speed. He kept driving until we reached a point where we were in the middle of nowhere. He pulled the car to the side and stopped it instantly. "Spill it out," Timathy told me turning his head to his back so that he could see me. A laugh slipped my mouth "Yo bro you where A-MAZING! When you did those kung fu moves I was totally out of words" I unconsciously let out of my mouth. Timathy remained silent before giving me another question. "Who have you provoked this time?" He sighed. "No one. I don't even know that dude" I told him, trying my hardest to express my honesty. When I was about to ask him a question, he gave me an answer beforehand.
"When I saw you running on the street, I called out to you but you didn't respond. I was about to shrug it off, but then I noticed some weird dude following you and could immediately tell that something was wrong right on the spot" He explained while laying back on his seat. Kinda makes sense. But I still have more questions. "You owe me big time. Never forget that." He finished. Nah this ain't leading to something good. Let me ask one of my questions so that I can change the topic.

"Why were you out there in the first place?" I asked suspiciously. "I was out grocery shopping" He simply answered. Yeah right. You? Grocery shopping? But then I realized that a bag filled with food products was in the foot area on the seat next to me. It had probably been sitting on the seat right beside me. Seems like it fell down from there. Besides who would place a bag upsidedown? No wonder a flying orange came out of nowhere and hit my head doing our James bond escapement. I snapped out of my ridicules thought when Timathy called my name. I answered with a simple 'hm' and turned my head in his direction. He turned to his back and started to stare into my eyes. "Be honest. What in the world happened out there?" He asked with a deep frown. He had never shown so much interest in things related to me before, I could not tell if it was a good or a bad thing. So this is my opportunity to tell him that I am lowkey a Frankenstein who escaped from the lab for reasons I bearly can remember.
