Hardly A Villain

1- Welcome to the bad side of dad

7 YEARS AGO

"Alan wake up,we need to go" my mum said with a frustrated look on her face.

She carried a handful of bags and boxes running downstairs faster than I've ever seen her run, even faster than when she notices that she left food on fire and its burning, which was really fast.

We got outside and entered our car and when my parents were done with putting our luggage into the boot we zoomed off with high speed, it looks like my dad was trying not to obey the speed rules and just continued pressing on the gas as hard as he can, not taking his leg off it for any reason making the car accelerate with incredible speed. The car which happens to be a ford explorer 2017 model.

Did I mention we are rich, well... I don't mean to brag but our family is one of the richest in the country, we're well known for our drone, robotics and bionic company 'the Gallagher enterprises' which happens to be one of the biggest robotics company worldwide and I think I'm one of the most prestigious black Kids in the world, I'm sure your like 'wow your quite lucky dude. I wish i was just like you',Ya...I know, I'm awesome.

"What are we running from dad?" I asked my dad as he was busy driving with a very dangerous amount of speed toward apple street taking a quick turn to the left driving with all he had.

I felt like I was in a fast and furious movie, I had no Idea my dad can drive like this, he was always calm when driving,even when he's running late for an appointment he always remained calm, he cared about his reputation more than anything, he always thought that 'a good business man must have a good reputation and good manners'. If he's driving like this and my mum isn't complaining then there's a very good reason for this.

My head almost made impact with the window because of how swift and sudden the turn was but I used my hand to support myself from breaking the glass with my head...or maybe the other way around. He made another quick turn to the right but I didn't stumble because I was prepared for it.

I find it very hard to believe this is the experience most fast and furious actors faced everyday, I had only had that experience for 5 minutes and I wanna throw up my food, I could literally feel it crawling up my throat making its way to my mouth but I swallowed it back down.

"Don't worry Lanny, its gonna be alright",my mum assured me as my dad ignoring my question continued driving." Now be a good boy and wear your seatbelt, no talking while daddy's driving" my mum said in a quiet calm tone as if she was talking to a 10 year old which, apparently she was.

I worriedly looked at my dad in fear closing my eyes so that I won't see the cars coming at full speed which my dad was doing well at dodging up until this point.

My mind raced thinking of all the possible reasons we would be driving more than 2 times the speed limit when normally my dad wasn't a law breaker and had never gone to jail, I just hoped he was ready to, because I'm sure if we were caught that's where we'll end up.

I turned back peeping through the window at the back to see if we were being chased by any cars but we were not.

"Aaaaaaaaah!!!" I was dragged out of my thoughts by the united screams of both of my parents, I whipped my head around just in time to see my dad clutching on the steering like his life depended on it and stepping on the brakes trying to stop the car.

I turned my attention to look outside the windscreen to see why they where screaming, I shivered in fear when I found out, a lorry truck just fell down a few meters in front of us and my letting petroleum leak from it and we were heading toward the fallen lorry.

"Watch out dad, stop the car!!"I screamed,my eyes watering, I was on the verge of crying, I could literally hear the sound of my heart beat in my ears, sweat running down my arms, I thought I was going to die.
