Before We March

Chapter 16: Downtown Chase

Elm State park.

My getaway from the thoughts lurking around my mind. Even in my day off I couldn't resist to think deeply about my mother specially when I saw happy families.

"honey, be careful"

I leaned my head to the mother as she carries her little son and had him with a forekiss on his head. It kind of makes me smile and felt a little bit of jealousy but this is what I love with ___ park.

Family bonding , joyful faces and hopeless wishes. I live in a world wherein a two decade kid still hopes to have his family whole as if it already impossible but I always dreamt of having fun with them in my dreams in these kind of places.

I was about to wipe my tears when a face towel sneaks into my sight. It was that annoying girl again named Vivoree back at the apartment.

I refuse to get her cloth and bothered asked her a rude question.

"are you a stalker or what?"

Vivoree rolled her eyes and smirks as she ask if she can sit down which I disagree but she still refuses at the end and sat down beside me.

" Look I'm trying to be nice here , I just wanted to be a friend to you."

I look straight into her eyes like I didn't care and told her that I don't need her to be nice. Besides maybe she is just tripping me or being nicely racist to me. No one knows but let's be realistic here.

"What are you doing here? aren't you satisfied with your parking?" Jordan ask as he take a stand

Vivoree follows me like she was my own shadow. Her mouth is a non-stop and it is really driving me insane right now so I halt and quietly raised my tone in front of her.

"look.. I'm sorry okay? I just wanted you to see that not every white person is what you think, sorry to bother you." Vivoree stated and leans her look away as she put her hands on her pocket.

She is sort of confusing or kind of mysterious with a slice of weirdness, the last time I check she pisses me off and even insulted me but now she wanted to be friends but my ego is still around and I don't have time for this argument or maybe there is a part of me that I felt sorry for what I just did. But I would regret that for the next seconds to come.

A black van hits the break in front and opens Its door with three mask men pulling me inside. I tried to fight back but a rifle taps my back to sleep.

Vivoree turns back and saw the surprising kidnapping. She jumps her way to her big bike and play chase with the van.

Sliding her left finger for her walkie talkie and ask for backup. The police department was in a furious action as two police mobile rung their sirens for the chase.

                                                                                             •••

Brenda and Stefanina brings the tray of sandwiches to the living room to munch in wherein the president was on his feet and have his mouth on a munch mood.

She reach for the remote and turn the light green as the screen pops up some unexpected news for them.

  "Breaking News"

Reporting the fast and the furious chase downtown from Elm Street Park to the streets of D.C . Revealing that the victim is white house own Jordan Paul Jr as he was seen by some of the people walking by who recorded the flash kidnapping.

Dylan's eyes got huge as he stared at the wall for a second and told Brenda that they had to go help her son. They reach for their coats and the car key as they headed to the parking area and told the maid to look after Stefanina.

The president can't stop Brenda and leave him no choice But to come with her and plug his device on his ear and orders the police department to block out the city roads.

On the other side of the chase, I got my presence back as I take a shear glance at the guys wearing black bonnets.

"What the he'll do you want from me?! Where are you taking me?!" Jordan shouted.

I tried to fight back but one of them elbow me straight into the nose. Then I hear her. I hear the voice of a woman trying to call me outside the chase.

Vivoree shot one of the kidnappers at the shoulder that made a way to leave the door hanging. One tried to pull it for it was his biggest regret in life and got pulled out by Vivoree instead.

Jumping inside made her put me in a risky situation for the one holding me put his gun at my head and warned her to step back or he'll shoot.

But this mysterious girl is full of surprises and quickly put the drop trick to the kidnapper and shot his hand and got a little payback for the elbow shot.

Vivoree turns her attention to the driver as she points the caliber gun to the driver's head leaving him with no choice to pull over and surrender.

The cops surrounded us as they took the kidnappers handcuffs. Media and the people started to take over the street after the incident.

For the third time, I got to be the talk of the town. I hated the exposure for it makes no sense at all. And do you know what makes no sense as well? Is that why do they kidnapped me? For what reason?

A black audi joins the crowd after a couple of minutes and my world once again slowed down as a woman sneaks off the car and trying to explain something to the police.

"That's my Son!"

My heart overflow with happiness at a second and forgot that i got kidnapped on the second thought. Is this real? Is my mother really remembered me and giving me the hug of a lifetime wish a lost child would ever wish.

"I'm sorry I didn't recognize you at the first met my baby, it was the 2nd regret I ever did since losing you and your father." Brenda said with tears of joy.

The president approached me next with his guards on his back leaving the media hot with questions and camera flashes.

One of the kidnappers grab the officer's gun in a flash and almost shot me with a fire. Once again Vivoree with the quickness pushes us away and fired a shot to the kidnapper's leg.

The cops pull them out for good and one of the chief told the president that they will investigate for it makes him very disappointed.

"you are coming home with us." Mom told me as she leaves no second thought.

The president was just smiling and supporting her decision, ordering his people for a quick medical team.

I almost forgot Vivoree because of the sudden events and chases her before she take a walk back to her ride.

"I didn't know how to repay you but thank you for saving me life."

"two times" she added

My world just turned upside down after the incident and this time I felt like a crap for being so rude to Vivoree and felt completely sorry.

But she just gave me that smile and jokingly told me to bring her some Lasagna and leaves.

At that time, I just realized that she was not the kind I thought I knew, she was something extra ordinary. She was more than a badass.

Turning my attention back to my mother, I'm just glad that finally.

I mean Finally!

I returned to her arms and this time poppu gave her back and I'm not going to leave her not in a million times would I ever leave her again.

Never again.
