Prompts

('19) PROMPT: FREEZE

"We should have drinks back at ours' after we're done," Richard suggests as they load up the last few boxes into the truck. "Alright, on me this time," Ted smiles. "Yeahh!" Alfie cheers from his spot halfway out of the window of the driver's seat. Richard puts in the last box and stays in the back of the truck as Ted goes to close it. "FREEZE!" A loud voice calls from behind them. Richard and Ted stop, putting their hands in the air. Two police officers have guns drawn, aimed at each of them. Sirens can be heard in the distance, quickly growing closer. Ted glances at Richard, not moving his head until he makes a quick subtle head nod at him. Immediately Richard leaps behind the boxes as Tyler rolls to the side of the truck, hopping onto the step on the passenger's side. Holding onto the car door and the handle on the outside Ted looks behind them as Alfie starts driving off. Once they start moving Richard quickly slides out from behind the boxes and slams the back shut, locking it into place. Gunshots and yelling can clearly be heard as they speed off. "Hold on back there!" Alfie calls, giving a few seconds for preparation before making a sharp left turn. Richard does his best to keep the boxes from sliding around too much as he starts to strap them in. "They're catching up!" Ted calls as pushes himself closer to the truck. "You're gonna want to get in now," Alfie says as he makes another rough turn. Once they steady out Ted opens the door and shoves himself inside before quickly shutting the door closed. Not bothering with seatbelts he sticks his head out of the window and checks behind them. "Almost lost them," Ted smiles as he fully gets back in. "We're good back here!" Richard says as he pops up by the little window into the front. "Let's go!" Alfie says excitedly, speeding up ever so slightly. "Woohoo!" Ted cheers with a small laugh, the other boys following suit.
