The sound of rain is the first thing you hear, following with roars of thunder, restlessly within the night. He's still next to you, asleep, and you notice that the unwrapped blankets beside you two were soaked. You start to wonder if they were that way last night. Your head was foggy.
His loud snores didn't help the situation either.

'Why would it have been wet the night before? Did he wet them?' You think as you carefully pick up his blankets, thinner than yours.. shouldn't have been the opposite since you're kinda on the heavy side?

That liquid had a drying effect to your hands, so it wasn't water, piss, nor any body fluid like you thought. It was covered in rubbing alcohol. Your eyes widen. You hear something rather heavy fall to the floor. Feeling it with your feet, you notice it was a sheet of paper, laminated within thin plastic.
You drop the blankets and pick it up.

"We know you have a girl. Why must you hide it from us? Why don't we show ourselves? We will! See you tomorrow, asshole." The note was not signed. And there was more on the back.
"P.S Shove your small ass dick inside of her and we will make sure there is not even a scrap of you for the wolves."

You step back as you start to feel the area near the the bundle getting hot, it then combust into a flash of an inferno, waking up Benny.

"What the hell?!" His brown eyes widened with confusion and fear. You bet waking up to a burst of flame you'd have the same reaction.

"Oh um.. Were those my blankets?" He added after a moment.. "Glad I could trust my gut.." You show him the piece of laminated paper, after extinguishing the fire on it.

"Oh boy," he murmured in disappointment, "Looks like they found me.."
"What's this about? Who?" you ask, his face grows pale with unsettlement, and fear in the cloudy early morning light.
Glancing out the window, he glared, you glance out too in the early morning light. You weren't sure at first, there was something in the distance. You two could see a red light shining on one of the main roads. Men were shouting audibly in the distance.

Moments later, you spot four cars flying down that same Five-Way road in incredible speeds, behind them, semis and large trucks follow.

"Let's vamoose first. I'll tell you about them later." He said, packing up your bed, and the few belongings you two left astray.

"I'm sorry miss if this seems quite vague, but modern Olathian men are insane, and will rip each other apart to have a glance of a real woman. Unfortunately they have found me with one already."
He broke into a sprint, leading downstairs to one of the skyscraper bridges.

You desperately try keep up with him. Sprinting furiously from building to building, the sound of various motors, and men shouing can be heard in the distance behind, quickly approaching. Barely able to catch your breath, you feel his grip to your wrist grow stronger.

You two enter through the top of a building, he pauses. "It's about a fifty feet drop from here.. We need to find an exit, quick!" There was a large flight of stairs at the end of the hallway, there, it's windowed. The next rooftop is parallel to the banister, luckily enough. He lifts you up, as you hold on, darkness shrouds your view..
You feel a swift movement of his arms, then a bunch of force pushing your limp body forward, as the world gets ever darker.
