Read this chapther while listening to: "Warning Sign" from Coldplay

How to take a mermaid in your arms as you walk right in from of one of the high security and central lab of the government? Norman didn't know that really. He just did and Emma was laughing in his arms. 

Actually no one ever tough that he would leave and escape with her using the front door and she smiled at the imagem of the multiple guards and army searching for him everywhere until they would realise that...he was right there in front of their noses 

He was so scared and more pale than he already was by nature. As he carried Emma his arms, runing as fast as he could, his arms and hands were shaking, the adrenaline being the one thing that kept moving him forward

Emma looked behind at the lab: it looked even more scary from the outside...and now she was leaving it behind as Norman took her. For a moment, she wished she had two legs, to she could run alongside him...

She was being a burden and she was already feeling dizzy due to be out of the water for some many time 

" Emma! Hold on, we are almost there! All right! I will get you in the car!" 

" Norman...thank you. Emma is dizzy" 

" Yeah, I know that's why we must hurry!"

Norman placed Emma in the back seat of his old Peugeot 205 in a flash and he was ready to drive. The guards already found out his trick and he could see them far away aiming for him, getting into the cars to start a somehow cliche " car pursuit" 

Emma was rather confused: she had never seen a car of course but somehow...she trusted Norman, who was smiling and looking at her from the front of the car

" Now...that's so damn cliche! Let's not underestimate my dear Peugeot...this boy is still a badass fat old car. Don't worry Emma! We are on a car and everything will be fine! Now...please hold on and don't move to much all right?" 

" Yes, Norman...Emma trusts Norman and...the car?" 

" Yeah that's good to hear, so now...let's get going before this gets to messy for our taste shall we?

Emma widen her eyes. The hole government guards there after them, maybe the hole military in the country was after them, and still Norman leaded back on his seat and pated a string of messy hair that was falling off her face 

" I promised I would get you out of here right?...let's get out of here Emma...let's meet your family again" 

" Norman..."

Now that was new. Norman loaded the accelerator with his foot. The old car made a strange noise but flew like an arrow to the road an the nearest intersection. Now, Norman wasn't that great of a driver but he knew strategy

The road would be like a game of chess for him and it was time to play, crossing the roads and leaving no trace, using trails that most people in the city didn't knew about...he had been studding his rote of escape for the past months...

Watching the city with his hawk eyes from his rooftop he was able to see everything is just a clear way...as he drove he could hear all the police cars so far so far behind him...could he finally breath and rest for a bit? 

" Stop right there Norman! You are now a criminal of the state so don't move and place your hands on the ground!" 

Norman shivered as he looked out of the window
