Chapter 2 🂡

On a cloudy morning, De'Shawn wakes up to silence in the alley . Rats were crawling near him, as he quickly sat up to think . He began to rub his hands over his head . A trashcan is blown down by the wind and rolls down the ally . De'Shawn gets up and begins to walk down the ally thinking about what just happened to him . "Man, I don't know what I had just done . Before I knew I killed him . But it was self defense ... No, No, No ... Was it self defense ?" De'Shawn thought to himself . The sun slowly begins to rise, traffic becomes louder, and stores began to open . De'Shawn puts his hoodie over his head, so his identity isn't revealed . He has his head up slight that allowed him to peek at his surrounding . He had peeked at a fast food restaurant named "Voile."  De'Shawn walks into the store . Keeping his hoodie on, he orders his meal and pays for it . As he waits, he stands in silence, as he nods to the employee questions . "Are you from here," the employee asked . De'Shawn shakes his head no . "So where are you from," the employee asked . De'Shawn grew irritated and answered "I'm not from here ok ?" The employee backed off and replied "ok .. ok here's your food ." He hands De'Shawn his meal, as De'Shawn walks back to a table . He began to eat and the employee observes him . De'Shawn gobbled down his food quickly . "Why are you in a rush," the employee asked . De'Shawn responds, "Because I'm traveling right now . It's a lot to do with my job . Don't worry about the rest sir . Now please let me eat my food in peace ." He continues to eat and throws it away to exit . De'Shawn walks across the crosswalk and almost ends up getting hit by a car . He shouts "Aye, I'm walking over here !" He continues walking across the crosswalk trying to get to the public bus . Walking for hours trying to find a bus station . He finally finds it after an hour . De'Shawn sits on the bench waiting for the bus for hours . As he slept, he was disturbed by the honks and the yelling . One bus passed De'Shawn as he slept having the thought that he was a homeless man . The second scheduled bus never came . Finally, the third scheduled came and De'Shawn gotten on . De'Shawn quickly inserts his quarters in the slot and sits in the back of the bus . Looking out the window, De'Shawn smiles thinking about Kayla . He sleeps until the bus has arrived at the bus loop . The bus driver opens the doors for the passengers to exit . A train which De'Shawn is trying to catch arrives . De'Shawn sees the train and instantly runs for it . He began to get exhausted . As he reaches the door, it almost closes until he put his hand through it, which it immediately re-opens . So he enters the train and stands while the train drives on the track to the next destination .  De'Shawn is on his way towards Minnesota . As the few destinations on his trip towards Minnesota, some seats become empty as De'Shawn sits down in one near the window . The officer who checks to make sure all the train riders have their ticket comes on the train to see if everyone has their tickets . De'Shawn knows that he is screwed since he hasn't paid for a train ticket . De'Shawn immediately gets up and heads towards the back of the train, as it continued to run on the track . As the officer is making sure everyone have their tickets, he peeks that De'Shawn is going to the back of the train . The officer yells towards De'Shawn to get back, but De'Shawn acts like he doesn't hear him . De'Shawn quickly picks up the pace to go to the back of the train, as the officer picks up his pace as well . De'Sawn bumps into people saying, "Excuse me ." The officer polity tells his peers, "pardon me," as he chases De'Shawn . He continues to run after De'Shawn, as he yells at him . The train stopped, since it was at its destination . It doors had open, so De'Shawn quickly went out of one of the doors and begins to run quickly . The officer just couldn't let go of this mysterious person, so he ran after De'Shawn constantly . He grabs his gun and fires the bullets toward De'Shawn . As the bullets miss consistently . But he stops and give up, just letting De'Shawn run . De'Shawn continues to run not looking back until he is far near the train station . He looks back finally seeing that no one is chasing him anymore . Walking slowly with his head down, De'Shawn is in shock . Bites his lip, as he tries to lick the cracks away . He looks up nearest motels near him on his phone . De'Shawn finds one about 15 minutes away . Starting the navigation he begins to walk where the GPS tells him to go . After 15 minutes, he arrives at the motel exhausted . When De'Shawn enters the motel he is gasping for air . Barely able to shake to the employee hand . The employee nods his head and said, "Hello, how may I help you ?" De'Shawn responds, "I-I-I need a one bedroom for the night sir ." As the employee types the information, he polity smiles and asks, "So are you from here ?" De'Shawn answer, "No I am not . I am from Chicago, Illinois ." The employee looks and said, "I'm finished," he hands De'Shawn the room keys, "Your room is 142 . But if you don't mind me asking . What you doing down here ? For family and friends ? That's a long way ." De'Shawn accepts the keys that the employee handed to him . "Thank you, and yes I'm visiting my long time friend," De'Shawn said . "Well I hope you enjoy your stay," the employee responded . De'Shawn nods his head and said, "I will sir," and he walks away to find his room . De'Shawn finally finds his room and slowly unlocks the door . As he opens the door, De'Shawn steps inside . The look on his face shown that he was disgusted . The room had rats crawling, spiders on the walls, trash on the bed, candy wrappers and gum stuck on the furniture, and flies flying around . "What the hell," De'Shawn thought to himself . He frowned as he observed the room . He acted out a sign of him having the urge to puke . Gasping for air, he thought he was about to have a heart attack . De'Shawn puts his hand over his chest . You could hear his heart beat and him breathing heavily . He had the urge to go to the front to get his money back and leave, but he had nowhere else to go . He steps inside the room slowly and pushes the bathroom door back . As he peeked, he saw blood stains in the tub, rusted bullets on the floor, written words on the mirror saying, "When you go to sleep be prepared to die ." Throw up was in the sink . And thats when De'Shawn rushed out the room . As he rush towards the main desk, he suddenly hears gun shots . Once gun shots are fired, De'Shawn ducks covering his head . He begins to get on his knees and continue crawling towards to the main desk . De'Shawn reaches the main desk and begs for his money back . The employee arguing with De'Shawn lead him to kick De'Shawn out the motel . As the employee locks the door, De'Shawn bangs on the door's window . "Dammit, what the hell," De'Shawn said, "give me back my damn money ." He bangs, kicks, and even runs into the door . But the door is still in proper shape . He looks into the window, as he see the employee call the cops . "Hello, I think that the man who the country has been looking for is outside my motel .. I been looking at my newspaper," he scams his eyes through the newspaper talking to the officer, "Well as far as I know is that his name is De'Shawn and he is in some serious trouble ." De'Shawn hears the conversation and gets worried .. "Oh wtf," De'Shawn says out loud . De'Shawn pulls out his gun, aiming it towards the employee, and shoots the employee in the head . Blood starts to gush out the employee head . De'Shawn stares through the cracked glass door furiously . Barely can control his breath . He quickly blacks out . Breaking the glass door, as he continuously  kicks through it . He steps over the broken glass, going through the glassless door . De'Shawn runs behind the desk and checks all the areas for the employee car keys . Scrambling through the desk, his heart is pounding . You can hear his heart beat rapidly . It was like a baby kicking a mother stomach, as an act of wanting to get out . Slamming down his hands on the desk and pushing the papers away . He rubs his head out of frustration . The employee begins to take one more breath and says, "Help ." And that was his final breath . But, De'Shawn shot him again to make sure he was actually dead . De'Shawn grabs the employee shoe and takes it off his feet . He finds the keys in his socks . He soon to hear a police officer on the employee phone say, "We have a killing at the motel on Tucker . I need multiple police officers . This killer is most wanted and his name is De'Shawn Wilson ." De'Shawn slowly grabs the phone and chuckles . "You think you can catch me huh," De'Shawn said as he laughed, "You see, I been through a lot and I'm not stopping to I reach the top . I can't be caught . Not today, not tomorrow, not even the years to come ." The officer responds, "I don't have to catch you," she begin to chuckle a little, "As far as I know, you're gonna be serving a lifetime in prison . And I'ma make sure it's a living hell ." De'Shawn swallows his saliva, so he can speak . "Yeah, well I'll kill anyone who stands in my way . So I think you should stay out of it . You sound like you need to be placed in the right weight class . I think that will be enough ," De'Shawn said . He hung up the phone and puts it back in the dead employee pocket . He presses the keys unlock button and the car makes a noise letting De'Shawn know which car it is and that it is unlocked . De'Shawn gets in the car and starting the engine . Pulling the car out of the parking spot, he hears sirens coming closer . 10 police cars surrounds him and a few of the police officers steps out the vehicles and squats down behind the door, as they got their aim straight at De'Shawn . One officer shouts towards De'Shawn, "Get out the vehicle now !" De'Shawn slowly puts his hands by the steering wheel . The police officers immediately puts their finger on their trigger . Until one police officer said "Hold your fire ! De'Shawn put you hands where we can see it !" De'Shawn slowly raises his hands, then drops them on the steering wheels . Soon he puts the car in drive and speeds right through the police officers . They begin to shoot at him and quickly follows him . De'Shawn steps on the gas harder to rank up the car speed . As the police officers does the same . De'Shawn swerves his car, going onto oncoming traffic on the highway . Maneuvering his car around the cars that coming towards him . Cars began to swerve as the come towards De'Shawn vehicle and hits other cars . The police cars are still behind De'Shawn and have their sirens on . Helicopter soon comes over De'Shawn saying a few words on the intercom, "De'Shawn Wilson, I advise you to stop your vehicle now ." De'Shawn didn't listen, so he continued going . He turned on the radio to keep him from hearing the sirens and helicopters . As the radio comes on, De'Shawn hears a news reporter say, "There is a high speed chase . This man as many of you can see is most wanted . His name is De'Shawn Wilson . He has broke many laws- ." De'Shawn turns off the radio . As De'Shawn looks forward he sees that there are many police cars coming towards him as he is about the enter the bridge . He has police behind him and in front . He is trap supposedly . De'Shawn looks to his right and see that there is an ocean under the bridge . Soon turning the car to the right, he drives the car off the bridge . As the car is in the sky, he immediately raises all windows . The car goes straight down into the ocean . The car begins to fill up with water rapidly . De'Shawn tries to open the door, but all the water force is opposing against him . He bangs, kicks , shoves the door, but the door still doesn't open . De'Shawn finds a bat and bangs it against the window . It cracks slowly, but when it opens all water floods through pushing De'Shawn against the passenger door . He soon holds his breath . Swimming out the car, he tries to find surface . Kicking his legs and moving his arms . He reaching to the top . But, he is in the middle of the ocean . He continues to kick his legs so he would be able to float . De'Shawn starts to swim toward land . After a long swim and breaks, he finally reaches land . He rolls over as he gets on land and looks up at the sky . De'Shawn clothes is soaked . The money in his sock was wet and so was the gun in his pocket . He slowly gets up walking slowly as the wet clothes is using a little force against him . At this point, he is exhausted and just want to see his little girl . Rolling his head back, he began to grunt . Out of anger, he kicks the rocks, hits the tree, and even shouts . De'Shawn began to hear men behind him, so he ran forward . He knew that he couldn't continue running . He fell over a log and got back up and started to run again . The men was on a hunt for De'Shawn . They heard a fall and steps on branches. They began to pick up their speed . De'Shawn climbs up a small rocky hill . He soon gets stuck in quick sand . He pulls onto a branch but it breaks . Soon a woman said to him softly, "Grab my hand . Hurry we don't have all day ." De'Shawn looked at her and took a moment to think . He grabs her hand and she yanks him up, but it took a lot of strength . "C'mon we can't die on this very day," she said . They began as they began to chat . "Who are you and why did you come to save me," De'Shawn asks as he is running . She responds, "I'm Alyssa, I've came here because I need to reach Canada and so do you . I seen you the most wanted and i need your help, so you need mines too ." They hop into a fancy car and she starts up the engine immediately speeding off quickly . Alyssa turns on the radio . The radio plays, "🎶 She's a showgirl (a showgirl, today) Her body shape is soothing, she don't now how to keep a man out of her face, her beauty shining so bright, she's a showgirl (a showgirl, today) 🎶" Alyssa put's on her shades, as they drive to Canada on the highway . "So are you in trouble with the law," De'Shawn asked Alyssa . "Well I work with a top secret agent and now so do you," Alyssa replied . The guitar on the radio continues to play softly . "Well a new life and a new beginning," De'Shawn stated . Alyssa gave a pair of shades to De'Shawn and he slowly puts them on . He raises down his window and waves his hands outside the window . "Canada better get ready for some real ones," De'Shawn screamed . Alyssa smirks and said, "Don't get too happy little one . You coming to the big dog ranks ." She begins to sing along to the song on the radio,  "She's a showgirl, showgirl today . Woo !" De'Shawn chuckles, as he watches Alyssa sing along . "So you a singer, huh," De'Shawn said in a joking manner . Alyssa laughs and replies, "I mean a girl gotta little tricks up her sleeves . What you got ?" De'Shawn responds to her question, "I'ma show you what I got ." He begins to get his gun and use it as a mic . "She's a show girl today," De'Shawn sung . He accidentally pulls the trigger .  The bullet hits a bird, leaving the bird to pause in the sky, and drop dead into the ocean . Alyssa and De'Shawn laughs in shock . "I think I'ma put the gun down," De'Shawn said while laughing . "Yeah, I do too," Alyssa said . He puts the gun down, as they continue to joke . After hours, they reach Canada border . Alyssa gives them two fake Ids of De'Shawn and her . And they began to proceed . "So, you knew i was coming with you," De'Shawn said . "I know everything," Alyssa replied, "Now, welcome to Canada ." De'Shawn smirks and replied, "Well Canada better be ready for us . We are lethal and we are our own weapon . This is a new life, new journey, new beginning, and new chapter ."
