Riot [On Hold]

Chapter 9

Put them at gunpoint if they don't listen. That's a lesson my father taught me.

But is it right?

Time passed in the car,the silence comforting in a way. I stared out the window,in awe at the greenery that surrounded me,the beauty of it leaving me entranced.

I smiled to myself.

Nature is so simple yet,so perfect.

And a hell of alot better than the rest of the world,plagued with chaos and misery. I wish I could be as free as a bird,able to travel freely without anyone to stop me.

I sighed,leaning my head against the window as I closed my eyes,using my time to imagine what that would be like.

A world where I was free.

A world where I could live.

Roy's gonna try and talk to you. The silence is plaguing him.

"There's not long until we reach the coast," he stated, glancing at me and I turned to look at him, nodding.

See?

"That's great,the sooner I'm on that yacht the safer I am I guess," I responded,shrugging.

To be honest,I have no idea if I'll ever be safe.

My father is powerful. I don't even know half of what he was,ever. He'll find me, somehow.

I can feel it.

There's alot to him,and to your past,Riot.

This will just be a game of cat and mouse,the cycle will continue. I'll keep running,he'll keep looking.

The only way I can stop it is by breaking this circuit of events.

But how?

I'll tell you, when it's time.

Roy coughed,regaining my attention.
"We'll be there in around five minutes."

I nodded,turning to look out of the window, mesmerised by the beautiful scenery.

"How big is this yacht of yours?" I asked.

Seriously?

What? Just asking.

You'll find out anyway.

"It's pretty big. Not the biggest,but not the smallest either. You stolen a yacht before?"

He laughed, seeing a small smile creep onto my face.

"You'd be surprised to know that I actually have", I admitted.

"Oh really?" He questioned, "How'd you do it?"

"You know, just had some things and,um,got the keys and took it," I formidably stated.

He glanced at me with a sarcastic expression of amazement on his face.

"That's such a detailed explanation. Honestly,you couldn't have done better than that."

I decided to continue the sarcastic streak,and responded humourously.

"Why thank you, be careful or I'll steal yours."

"I would-we're here."

He pulled the car into a parking lot,as I reached for my mask and put it on.

Roy simply turned off the ignition once we were in a spot and turned to me.

"Okay,Riot. Follow me to the yacht. Don't speak to anyone and just act normal."

I responded coyly, looking into his eyes,"what's normal Roy?", I questioned.
