June 2, 2173

Ash and I are following Iris to where we hope is a city.

I still don't trust her but if she is willing to help us, I should ignore that feeling.

"How much longer?" I ask beginning to feel impatient, I haven't had a proper meal besides pizza in days.

"Not long, we are only a few minutes away." She says pointing to a small building not too far away.

"Okay, I just feel anxious." I say.

"Don't worry." Ash says.

"I just feel like something bad is going to happen soon--I don't know what but something."

"Let's just hope it's a feeling, I don't think anything is going to happen."

"Okay, enough with the lovey dovey crap--were here." Iris says while groaning and I chuckle.

"Finally!" I say laughing.

"Whatever." She says and I can tell she is holding back a laugh.

"We're is our first stop?" Ash asks.

"Normal food--there is a really good diner around the block." She says practically drooling.

"Thank God, no offense to pizza, but I am getting bored of it." I say laughing.

"Do you have anything we can use as a disguise? Maybe some glasses." Ash asks.

"I have three pairs of glasses I stole." Iris answers while taking out the glasses and handing us each a pair.

Before we walk in we put on our glasses.

A waiter there seats us right away at a table in the corner.

My legs are shaking like crazy, the urge that something bad is going to happen isn't going away.

I can't shake that feeling that I am going to throw up.

"Are you okay?" Ash whispers to me.

"I-I'm fine." I say still shaking.

"I don't think so." He says. "You have not stopped shaking since we got here."

"I know, I can't seem to get rid of the feeling that we are being watched or something is going to happen." I say.

"Nothing will happen." he says soothingly.

"Okay, now shut up our food is here." Iris says.

I ordered a huge burger and fries, Ash ordered the same, and Iris ordered a BLT with a huge plate of fries.

The second the plate is placed in front of me I take a giant bite out of it and laugh in delight.

"This is so damn good." I say taking another giant bite.

"I have never had a BLT this good." Iris says with her mouth full of food--if it were on different terms I would tell her to close her mouth, but we are all too hungry to care.

"This is better then the burgers in the city." Ash whispers so nobody knows we are from there.

"These fries are awesome too." I say eating a fry.

"I know right." Iris says smiling--I have never seen her so happy in the short amount of time I have first met her.

After an hour we finally finish eating, if we ever are running from the cops again and need a pit stop I will remember this place.

"We should get going now." I say while getting up.

"Okay, let me pay first." Iris says taking money out of her bag--I guess she doesn't be want to be even more wanted then she already is.

"We will wait for you outside." I say while dragging Ash out with me.

Ash and I are standing by the door then after a minute we here sirens approaching us.

"What's going on?" Iris asks when she comes outside.

"Just walk with us and pretend we are just a group of close friends hanging out." I whisper and we start walking in the opposite direction of the police car.

I turn around and see that the police car is following us.

"The car is following us." I whisper even quieter then before.

"Just act natural." Ash whispers.

"Laugh--pretend I just told you a funny joke." She says then burst out laughing and we do the same.

"Cross the street now." She says while stepping onto the road.

We only get halfway across the street until the police car stops in front of us walking out of the car.

"You are under arrest." He yells pulling out three handcuffs.

Before he gets a chance to put them on us we run away from him and the car as fast as we can.
