On the Run

Chapter 2

Once Trey got to "Rollin' Round" (his bike shop), he walked straight to his laptop with only barely stopping to turn on the lights. He plugged the flashdrive into his computer. Once the file popped up, he read what it was called: "Christmas List". "What?" Trey said silently to himself, "Again, it is the middle of July. Why would they have a Christmas list this early. It's a little early to be thinking about that. If they get mad at me for looking through this then, I guess I will know what to get him to apologize."

As he clicks on the file, a little window pops up asking for a password. He grunts to himself, then the bell on the front door chimes. "Be there is a second just hold on!" Trey says as he stands up and starts toward the door.

As he exits the back room he hears a familiar voice say, "Sir, give me my flashdrive that you stole or I will call the police and have you arrested for theft. And yes, I know it was you so just give it back and no one gets hurt."

Trey stops right where he is when he sees a pistol in the man's hand. "What? Oh. Yeah. The hard drive. I have it in the back room, I was hoping you would come by to pick it up. I didn't have time to chase down the bus." He hurries to the back room, quickly makes a copy of the flashdrive on his computer, unplugs the drive, and walks out to the front room.

"But you had time to wait for the bus for 10 minutes," the man said.

"Oh."

"Just hand it over."

Trey hand the drive over to the man. "You know, I own this place. If you ever need anything, just let me know and you can have a HUGE discount on it! Does 75% off any item sound good to you? Sorry for this inconvenience Sir." Trey said to the man.

"How about you delete that copy you made of the drive and you come with us. And make it quiet, we don't want any unnecessary attention." The man said, kind of irritated.

"Us?" Trey says as a man walks out of the back room with his laptop by his side in his hand. That was when he noticed the earpiece in the first man's ear.

"Let's go." The new man says.

"What's happening?!?" Trey asks confused and starts slowly backing out from behind the counter.

"You are being taken to our hideout until we know what to do with you." The first guy said as the new guy starts walking out the front door with his laptop.

Once Trey is close enough, he punches the first guy as hard as he can right in the face. Which causes him to drop the drive. Trey picks it up and runs out the back door. Sprinting for his life, yelling for help.
