Tunnel Vision

《Chapter 10》

Roy puts the key in the ignition and the engine started. Soon after we were driving out of the driveway. It was a long silence after he kissed me and im pretty sure I was blushing for 5 minutes. "So,whats the 1st mission?" , I said softly. "Theres a bank robbery on Montgumery Avenue." He said. "Thats a classic." I said jokingly, and he smiled as if he agreed. Just them I got a sudden vision with just a 5-10 second migrain before it. It showed me and Roy looking at each other, as if we were about to hug...or kiss. I knew from the start that he had something special about him that I've never seen before."Are you okay?", "Did you have one of those visions you talked about?" , he said anxiously. I didnt want to tell him what I saw so I answered with a "No, im fine". "You know you can tell me anything, right?" He said, touching my hand while still looking on the road. "Yeah, I know." I said.

"I never really told you about my experiences in the lab with those cruel men that treated me like one of their damn experiments." I said starting a new conversation. "Yeah you never really told me because we got carried away back at the station." He replied. "Well it all started like the lab was gonna' be a good situation for, you know my ability. But these scientist only wanted to hold hostage for the money and fame. So I eventually gained strength to escape from that hell hole. I then discovered that they had sent their guards to capture me unfortunately. They chased me until I thought was forever and I ended up finding somewhere to hideout." I said. "Wow, I wish I would have known you longer...you could have stayed at my place." He said, turning his head over at me. "That would of been a hell of alot better than where I was staying." I said. "Where was your hideout anyway?", He said. "The......... the.......", I could barely finish the sentence from the laughter that was ready to pour out of me. "The old abandoned 7-11 down the street on the corner" I said laughing. At this point we were both laughing from what I had said and it was a fairly good part of my day so far.

Ending the conversation happily, we arrived at the bank just in time before the criminals even got to their van. We ran towards the main doors and brought out our assault rifles. We slid (almost as if it could of been in a James Bond movie) behind the bankteller counters. I peeked slightly above the counter and saw 2 thin men wearing regular t-shirts with pulled down beanies over their heads. "Who covers there face, but wears regular clothes for a robbery?" Roy said. I agreed with a "I know right?".We kept crouching closer to them until we were 2 feet from the vault. We were hiding behind a couple boxes and that's when I came up with an idea. "So how do we execute this?" Roy said softly. "Alright. So I was thinking of using the tasers and eventually cuff 'em." I said confidently. "Wow. You really are a smart ass." He replied.

We pulled out our tasers we had on our gadget belts and counted down to 3 softly. We struck up so fast from our crouching position we almost scared them. I went for one and he went for the other. I shot one with the taser firmly. But as he fell to the floor I felt a jerk of pain on my left shoulder. I got shot. I held it as tight as possible because I needed to keep pressure on it for awhile. But the pain was killing me.....literally. Then Roy cuffed the last man and smiled at me. But his his smile quickly changed into a pale face of panic. He realized I had been shot.

He rushes over to me a takes his belt off and straps it tightly around my arm. I wince in pain. "Ow!" I screamed as it got tighter. He carried me away to his car. I start feeling light- headed and blackout.

"Jane!"...."Wake up!" He said. My eyes adjust to the light as I realize I am lying on a couch. The pain is barely there but I can still feel the wound. Roy is standing in front of me with a wet cloth, a bowl full of water, a roll of bandages, a bloody handgun bullet, and a long pair of tweezers lying on a table next to him. As he realizes I'm awake, he softly asks, "Are you ok?" and, "Are you feeling better?". "Yeah. The pain is mostly gone ." I said. "Oh thank goodness, I thought you were going to bleed out on me!" He said, laughing. I smiled and thanked him for getting the bullet out and cleaning/patching up my shoulder. "No problem", he said. At this point he was crouching next to the couch, and with the little strength I had, I pulled him in for a kiss. We slowly gripped away from each other and smiled. I soon after realized that this was his house, all for him.

He walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of wine from the fridge and walked over to the cabinets to get 2 wine glasses. "Celebration for our, first mission?". I was really needing a drink right now so I replied with a "Yes please". The glasses were not that big so he filled both of ours almost to the top. I sat up as he walked over and handed me the glass. I thanked him again because of his integrity and kindness and sat down at the dining table where he was. "Cheeerrrrs!" I said with a grin. The glasses made a silent "clink" and I slowly sipped the wine into my mouth. There's no place I'd rather be...
