The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (An Illya Kuryakin fanfiction)

Chapter 2

We pulled out the front and almost right away there was a small car slowly trailing behind us. My breathing picking up rapidly, I still didn't completely understand what was going on and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.

"Alexia it's okay, deep breaths, you're going to be fine," he told me putting his hand on my arm giving it a gentle squeeze. I followed his instructions and was able to get my breathing back on track. "I'll protect you and your cousin, there is nothing to be worried about, just sit here and act normal when he pulls up, Okay?"

I replied with a small hum.

"Could you pass me that brown paper bag from my case, please?" he asked laying out of sight in the back seat. I opened his case on my lap to find the bag he asked for, grabbing it I subtly handed in back. "Are they still following us?"

"Yes," I told him, my hands clutching the seat underneath me.

"Is there one of them? Just hum if there is." he said.

"Hm," Gabi replied.

"Is he looking at us? Does he have just one hand on the steering wheel?" he asked taking something out of the bag. Slowly looking over making eye contact with the man in the car, I hummed twice in response. "When you hear something that sounds like a gunshot...drive." The man still stared into my eyes when I heard three gunshots. I didn't have time to see if any had actual hit the man because next thing I knew we were speeding down the road again.

"Did you get him?" I quietly asked.

"Let's hope he doesn't drive as quickly as he moves," he said irritatedly.

"I got news for you. He does, " Gabi said hastily as the car started to catch up to us again.

"Make a right, And then an immediate left," he told Gabi while looking at the map. The mans car was pressed right up against ours and he was getting ready to shoot at us. We turned right and then made a sharp left making me hit my head on the window, the other car was forced to go right so he didn't hit the divider. We sprung into an open spot in front of a truck that was out of sight.

"Nicely done, I'm Solo by the way," he said with a cheeky grin

"Is he gone?" I asked

"You know, I don't think so," he said in a smart voice.

"Dick," I muttered under my breath.

"Reverse down the sidewalk then drive around the block. And, meet me back here," he told us getting out of the car, I followed.

"Alexia get back in the car now he said pulling out his gun," Solo told me sternly. I proceeded to stand there and wave Gabi on. As the enemy's car drew closer Gabi backed up on the sidewalk and down a separate street, only the shadow of the car visible. The man must have seen it because he soon proceeded to back up and go in that direction. Solo walked out into the middle of the street waiting a few seconds before shooting twice at the back of the car, soon after it crashed down the street.

"That was actually pretty cool," I admired.

"Thanks kid," he said while walking around the corner, almost getting hit as Gabi came at full speed only stopping a mere 4 inches from where he stood. Solo and I stood agape as she just replied with the shrug of her shoulders.We piled back into the car and we were off. Before we could start off again a gunshot rang out and the back left side of the car could slowly be felt sinking. Zooming off we took a left going through a junky looking area, dirt roads and all.

"You should look out the window," Gabi told us looking out her rearview mirror. Solo and I turn to look out the back to see the tall muscular looking man running behind the car keeping up with us. Soon enough he was grabbing on to the back of the car and actually slowing us down.

"You can't be serious," Napoleon said surprised.

"He's trying to stop the car," I said in awe. He must have some major muscle, I don't think most people can hold a car from going.

"We're struggling here," Gabi nervously told him. "Why don't you take a shot at him?"

"Somehow... it just doesn't seem like the right thing to do," said Solo still amazed at what was happening. Not soon after the man ripped the back off of the car being left behind, it didn't stop him though he still continued to follow close behind as if it were the easiest thing in the world to chase after a car on foot. "First left, then immediate right," he quickly said. Following his instructions we ended up in a small alley, our only option to continue straight.

"This road isn't going anywhere," I told him in a panicked voice.

"It's taking us where we want to go, you needn't worry," he said.

"It's getting narrower-," Gabi yelled getting cut off by Napoleon.

"- All part of the plan darling," he called looking back down at the map. "Put your foot down and drive a little faster."

Gabi pressed her foot down all the way and we picked up speed in a matter of seconds. The walls were growing closer together and it was very obvious we would not fit through the small opening at the end of the alleyway. "NAPOLE-," I was soon cut off by the car being shoved in between the walls and being suspended in the air.

"Good plan," Gabi bluntly said. "All we have to do is get over two 20-foot walls and a minefield."

"Now what?" I asked.

"Now take another left through the window," he said leaning over Gabi and rolling down the window, "After you." One by one the three of us made it through the window running from room to room until we found a way out of the apartment. Solo stood there a moment before deciding to go up the stairs, Gabi and I following close behind. We got to the top floor and found the hatch to the roof, once up there we stuck the small pipe through the holes to lock it.

"What are we doing up here?" I asked.

Napoleon walked around the edges of the building looking around, "We're looking for Agent Jones." Not long after a delivery truck, who I'm assuming was Agent Jones, pulled up on the other side of the wall reversing up to it. A man in the back pulled the cloth cover up and then shot what looked to be a grappling hook up onto the chimney top. Looking to the side I saw the man who had been chasing us climbing onto the roof from the side of the building. I turned just in time to see Solo connect a hook onto the line and grab my cousin. "Hug me," Solo told Gabi as he stepped off the side of the building flying down the line.

"Alexia," my cousin screamed.
