Going Under: Hold Your Breath

Part 16: Ezekiel

"Well shit. Our contractor is dead. So even if we do kill Logan how are we going to get paid," Dandi asked.
"You're worried about money," Nate asked.
Everyone looked at him puzzled.
"I'm pissed because an old Calvin Klein model kicked our asses without breaking a sweat," Nate said.
"We could've shot him if we asked the Bond for a gun. I mean his last name is Bond. After James. Ever heard of James Bond," Ezekiel asked.
"Nope," Annie said.
"Doesn't ring a bell," Nate said.
"James Bond sounds like a lame name," Dandi said.
Silence
"Jesus Christ you guys need to get out more. Anyways how are we supposed to kill a guy who uses smoke and disappears like Batman," Ezekiel asked.
"Bat...man," Nate asked confused.
"Forget it," Ezekiel said.
"We're going off topic. Bond is dead and the cops will be here any minute now. First we need to get out of here. Then we can discuss how to beat this Logan guy," Dandi said.
They all nodded in agreement.
"I have a car outside in the parking lot," Nate said. "We could drive to this training bunker out west. It's a 20 minute drive from here," Nate continued.
"I dont have anything else to do. I'm down," Ezekiel chuckled.
The rest nodded in agreement.
Two shots rang out from the crowd that was partying downstairs.
"I'm going to give everyone one minute to get out of this club except for the people in the lounge room. Failure to comply will result in your immediate arrest," a SWAT cop blared through a megaphone.
Everyone ran like roaches to doors, windows, and fire escapes, 20 seconds later.
Silence.
"To the people in the VIP lounge. Stay in the rooms and get on the floor with your hands behind your head. Failure to comply will result in a consequence far worse than being arrested," the cop continued.
They heard the cops swarm upstairs and kick down nearby doors.
"Whats the plan," Dandi asked.
Nate, Dandi and Annie looked around the room, a window was opened and Ezekiel was gone. They bolted and ran out of the window and climbed a fire escape.
The police entered the room, two stayed behind with Bond's bloodied corpse. Four cops continued to chase after their targets.
Dandi, Annie and Nate were running on roofs, jumping over darkened alleyways when they spotted Ezekiel in a car waiting for them.
"Come on! Get inside lets go," Ezekiel called to them.
They slid down a pole and jumped in the car and drove off.
The commanding officer spoke into his radio.
"We have four targets in pursuit. Bring a team of squad cars to take them out," he said.
The group laughed as they sped down the road, all of that stopped when sirens and red lights flashed behind them.
"I know exactly where to lose them," Ezekiel said.
"I don't give a fuck where we go let's just lose them," Annie said.
With that Ezekiel pushed his foot down on the gas, dodging every car and roadblock until the cops pulled back.
"Welcome to Lake Lanier," Dandi said as she read a sign.
"Yo pull over I'm getting out. I'm not goin there," Nate said.
"And risk us all getting killed by the police. Fuck that," Annie said
"Id rather get killed by the police than whatever's at that lake," Nate fired back.
"Listen up. The cops will kill me first because of an obvious reason," Ezekiel said pointing to his chocolate skin. "Second there's nothing there, its all legend from the government to bring tourists and create money. We're going there to lay low then I'll have some questions for you three when we get there. That it," Ezekiel said.
Silence.
