Chapter 39 ~ Just Forget We're Here And Carry On As You Would

Spencer’s POV

“Turn left here! Left left left!!!” 

“Shut up and let me drive EK!” E yells as he throws the car in a sharp left turn.

“You know what? We don’t need Robo to kill us, E’s driving will do!” EK retaliates.

“Just stop the both of you, please.” I groan quietly.

“You know what’s going to kill you EK? Me! If you stop bloody whining!” E snaps back.       

“STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU!” I yell at them. They stop arguing and look at me.

“Thank you, now we should be arriving to the midway point soon so please focus on that E.”

“Yes sir.” E says and turns his full attention to road.

“EK, can you please radio the others and tell them our ETA?”

“Yes sir.” She sighs as she picks up the radio and talks into it. It’s when she puts it down and we’re in silence that I think about how they both called me sir. I didn’t like it. I’m not a sir; I’m just me. Spencer.   

Mika’s POV

“We’re here.” I say to Rast.

“How do you know?” Theo says annoyingly from the back.

“Because there’s a car there dummy.” I point out a shiny, sleek black car. Not one I’d use for going into conflict with.

“Who would bring a car like that into a situation like this?” Rast echoes my thought. I tell him to park behind a cluster of bushes. The boys go to get out but I tell them to stay put. I don’t look back to see if they’ve listened to me but my guess is at least one of them hasn’t.

I’ve just made it in front of the bushes when I hear,

“Mika wait!” It’s Leo. I turn to him

“Leo I told you to,” he interrupts me by pointing at something behind me.

“What is it?” I ask.

“It’s you.” He whispers.

“If you’re trying to point at me then you’re kinda off.” I try to correct.

“No no, it’s you but different.” His face plastered in confusion.

“The Queen?” I ask. Then I remember. “Oh.”

“That’s The Queen?! But she’s you! Why does she look like you?! Is that why we’re not allowed to see her?” He rambles.
