"Captain!" Charlie cried running forward and hugging her.

Captain squeezed her back and swung her round.

"How did you find me?" Charlie laughed when Captain put her down.

"Well let's just say they made the stupid mistake of putting us both in the same asylum." Captain grinned swinging the bat back and forth.

"Hey boss! What do we do with the fancy lady?" One of the men asked Captain. He was bold and covered from head to toe in tattoos.

"Shoot her. And grab the files and pictures." Captain ordered.

Charlie took one final look at the doctors terrified face before her brains were blow out by the tattoo guy.

"How do you know these people?" Charlie asked Captain.

"Mazzini over there owed my brother and me a favour from a while back. Turns out he knows a lotta people. Broke me out earlier and then we came to find you. Anyway we better hurry and find the rest of your files and get rid of them. Maz do you know how Olis doing with the computer system?" Captain asked the tattoo man named Mazzini.

"He radioed me earlier to say that he got through to the system and deleted every single file in the entire thing. No way they are gonna be able to get that shit back." One of the guys who helped Charlie out of the straight jacket said.

"OK did you tell him to clear off?" Captain asked.

The guy nodded. He was a tall bulky black guy with a long beard and a blue cap that he had turned backwards.

"Cool, we better clear off ourselves before the cops get here." Captain said.

Everyone departed out of the room and went down a series of corridors towards the exit.

"Aren't there other people in this hospital?" Charlie asked. She hadn't seen anyone else but them.

"All dead. Only way we could get to you without being stopped." Captain said grinning.

Charlie smiled to herself. She was happy that Captain was thinking about her. They reach a pair of double doors that were painted a clear white. When one of Captains friends opened the door Charlie saw rain. Cold clean rain. Charlie ran out the door into the rain and spun round. She laughed as the water splashed her body and face. Captain came up to her and picked her up swinging her around. When Captain put Charlie down in front of her they stood still just looking at each other smiling. Charlie noticed for the first time the small cuts on Captains face and the black dust smudged on her lip. She got her thumb and gently whipped away the black stuff. Captain smiled and pushed away some hair hanging in her tired face and did the same to Charlie. Charlie smiled back.

"Erm....boss? Sorry to interrupt but we have a problem..." Mazzini coughed from a few meters away.

Captain pulled away from Charlie and looked at her employee.

"Continue." Captain said bluntly.

"Someone called the cops. We've just been notified. We have less than thirty seconds before they get here!" Mazzini said pointing towards two cars down the path. The rest of Captains gang were in one car and the other was free.

"Shit! Get in your car and go we'll go in ours. Go!" Captain shouted them all running to their vehicles.

Mazzini got into the car with the other gang members and drove off down the road. Captain and Charlie jumped into the empty car. Captain in the drivers seat and Charlie in the passenger. Looking in the review mirror Charlei saw a quick bright flash of red and blue lights.

"Captain!" She shouted.

Captain noticed the lights and put the petal to the metal. It took a few seconds but soon the car was speeding faster than Charlie had ever experienced before. She was pretty sure they had left some dark skid marks on the road. Charlie looked back in the mirror and noticed that the lights had gone.

"Captain they're gone!" Charlie shouted over the roar of the engine.

"Not for long!" Captain shouted back turning a corner. Charlie felt her body hit the car door. The car swerved and almost hit a wall before straightening up. Captain turned corner after corner after corner before they hit trouble.

Charlie swore loudly. In front of them was a long line of police cars and two helicopters flying not far above them. A group of armed police officers stood in front of the line of cars with what seemed to be some sort of giant hook.

"Captain! Slow down!" Charlie screamed in panic.

Instead Captain just laughed. The rain was still coming down faster then ever. And now the car was going faster then ever.

"Captain!" Charlie screamed again.

Before Charlie knew what was happening the car was turning hard right. In a split second their car was speeding as fast as lightning down the line of police cars. The screech of metal burned at her ears as her door was ripped clean off.

"That is one crap door!" Captain laughed.

The line of police cars suddenly came to an end and so did the road. The car bounced slightly as it came off the tar Mack and onto a field of grass. The car swerved left again and Charlie clutched onto her seat for dear life since there was now no door.  Ignoring the rest of the road Captain carried on up hill on the grass.

"What the fuck happened to my door!" Charlie screamed hitting Captain on the arm.

"They were aiming that hook thing at the tyres! When I moved it must have caught your door and ripped it clean off!" Captain shouted back laughing.

"Well no shit Sherlock!" Charlie hit her arm again.

"Will you quit hitting me! You'll make me look like a terrible driver!" Captain shouted frowning.

"You are a terrible driver!" Charlie shouted.

"Excuse me but are you dead yet?!" Captain shouted pointing an accusing finger.

"Will you keep both hands on the wheel your going to get us both killed for fuck sake!" Charlie screamed.

Captain slowed the car quickly and then slammed her foot on the break. The sudden stop caused them both to fly forward. Charlie's head smacked the window causing it to shatter, Captains head flew into the steering wheel causing her to say many different words in so many languages that Charlie lost count.

"Why the fuck did you stop?" Charlie groaned shaking pieces of glass out of her hair.

"Look..." Captain tapped her shoulder pointing out of the broken windscreen.

Squinting through the pouring rain Charlie saw what looked to be vast amounts of water. The sea. The looked around at her surroundings that had been flooded by the rain.

"Holy shit..." she muttered.

"Yep...We're on dead mans cliff..." Captain confirmed what she was thinking.
