Just crying in the corner, having just finished reading another trilogy! Anyway, enjoy lol!

Third Person P.O.V

"D***!" Habit yelled, "I thought ladies were supposed to be better drivers!" "Oh shut up!" Lexx shouted back, violently weaving through the interstate traffic and sending the cloaked cult members tumbling in the back, "At least I didn't get the bloody side mirror knocked off!" "At least I didn't give you whiplash!" "Oh you big baby!"

The white van sped down the road, ignoring the honks and tires squealing, but not the police sirens. "Oh f***," She rolled her eyes, "You see what you made me do?!" "You're the one driving!" "You're the one distracting me!" The clocked members in the back of the van lowered their hoods and took off their masks, watching the highway patrolman step up.

"You have been a pain to work with!" Lexx shouted, rolling down the window. "And besides-" She continued, grabbing a gun and shooting the man without looking, "-You smell!" "Ooh," He smirked, grabbing the handle on the door and his seatbelt as the car reemerged with traffic, "Like what?" "Dried blood!" "Ah, good," He giggled, "I was hoping to give that impression-" "I can't wait for this to be over!" "Me too, sweety." "Let's get this d***ed book and be done with it-" "Book?" He raised an eyebrow, smile fading. She glanced over, blue eyes rimmed with perfect eyeliner and filled with discomfort.

"What book?" He asked. "Nothing," She shook her head, eyes back on the road, "My lips are sealed if your little friend didn't tell you." he put a hand on the handle of his machete "B****, you'd better tell me-" He stopped, feeling a knife on his throat from the back seat. He snorted, letting go of the handle, the knife retracting with it. "Okay then."

He reached in his pocket, pulling out a severed finger, blood still dripping out of it as he played with it. "Oh gosh- STOP IT!" Lexx shouted, "You're getting blood everywhere!"

Jay was forced from the driver's seat at sunrise, Josh taking over. Josh smiled and said "Well, this is my first time on the interstate, that's pretty cool, right?" Jay offered a polite nod, looking glancing in the back seat, where TJ patched Vinny's shin and Noah tried to figure out what to do with Xakk. "Well at least take some f***ing Advi-" "I'm fine." Xakk growled, shirt off his chest and over his eyes against the harsh sunlight.

Once again, gilt weighed heavily on Jay. It had been his unwelcome friend in the past few years, but at the rate of the past three days, it seemed like it was out to kill him.

A 'ding' sounded, vibrations following from his pocket, but he ignored it. Josh muttered, "Are you gonna answer that...?" Sighing he nodded, taking it out and seeing it was an unknown number. His thumb crept across the screen and he held it to his ear. "Hello?"

"Pretend you're having a normal conversation."

He was glad he was turned towards the window, or his widened eyes would be obvious. Brain Thomas was speaking to him for the first time in 7 years. "Umm, yeah, okay, what's up with you, mom?"

"I don't know for sure what's up," he explains, wind whistling in the speaker, "But I know a few things; A guy named Shaun Andersen contacted me a few years back, before this whole hood thing. He told me to look deeper, pointed me where to go. I have a lead of the Collective currently in Florida, I'm going there to check it out." "Okay, well, that's cool." Jay mumbled.

"Hang in there," He said, "I know what happened... to Tim, but I need you to keep going." "Why?" "You're a deadman walking, Jay. You're gonna do something really important somehow. You're friends okay?" "Just dandy..." "Alright. Keep this under wraps," he said, "I'll call when I get anything. Text me if something happens, alright?" "Yeah, sure." "Love you son." "Shut up, mom. Talk later." The phone line went dead before he finished.

Nobody asked questions, they were all to focused on the sigh ahead

'Welcome to Colorado'
