86 The Drift Hunters

But then Nikki took a sharp turn into an alleyway, and the SUVs crashed into each other, as pieces and glass shot everywhere.

“We lost them,” Nikki said, as she looked in the rearview mirror. “But we’re not out of the woods yet.”

I looked ahead and saw more SUVs coming towards us, as my heart sank into my stomach. This was not good, not good at all. She turned into a lead to a highway, as the organs in my stomach were churning.

“Hang on,” Nikki said, as she pressed down on the gas pedal.

We were going so fast, and I was sure that we were going to crash. But Nikki managed to keep the car under control as we weaved through traffic. The SUVs were still behind us, but they were losing friction.

“Don’t kill us now!” Greg shouted as he held onto the seat.

Nikki just smirked and said, “Don’t worry, I got this.”

“You better!” Malachi shouted. “Unless I’ma beat you when we get to heaven, girl!”

Three SUVs were behind us, as Nikki took a sharp turn. I heard the tires screech, as my stomach lurched. She was able to keep the automobile under control and we were on our way to an exit.

.....

“We’re almost there!” she shouted, as she pressed down on the gas pedal.

“Almost where?” Greg asked.

But she didn’t answer. Instead, she drifted into an intersection, sideswiping a car that honked its horn in anger. The SUVs followed behind us, as we were about to make our escape.

We were on the highway now, and Nikki was driving like a maniac. And I mean a maniac, in the best way possible. She was swerving in and out of lanes, as the SUVs were trying to keep up with us. But she was way too fast.

Honks and yells bellowed from the cars, but Nikki didn’t care. She was focused on the task at hand, and that was to get us away from the agents. We were going so fast, and I was afraid that we were going to die. But Nikki had other plans.

“Hold on!” she shouted, as she pushed the pedal. “Nikki, we’re still trying to live now!” September shouted as she clung to the door.

But Nikki didn’t care, as she took us onto the shoulder of the road. The agents were right on our tail, and soon enough, agents peeked out of their vehicles with guns pointed out. “Duck!” I shouted as I pulled Malachi and September down.

Bullets rained on the car, as glass shattered everywhere. The back window blew out, and I heard a tire pop. “We’re almost there!” she shouted. “Almost there!”

“Almost where, to death?” Greg hissed, as he covered his head.

But she didn’t answer him, as she took a sharp turn. I heard the tires screech, as my heart began to race. “We need to shoot back!” Tisiah said as he pulled out his wand.

Bolts raced out of his wand, as he aimed for the agents. The bolts made contact with the agents, as they shouted in pain. Then Nikki took us onto an exit ramp, sirens wailing behind us.

“We lost them!” she shouted, as she looked in the rearview mirror. “But we’re being met with some more!”

We were now on the busy Floridian streets, bikers and cars honking at us as we weaved in and out of traffic. The SUVs were still on our tail, but they were losing oomph. Nikki took us down a narrow alleyway, as I heard the tires screech again.

“Is this your master plan?” I screeched, latching onto the door.

“No,” she said plainly as if this was child’s play. “This is just the beginning.” Suddenly, miniguns popped out of the trunk embedding into the pavement. “Hang on!” Nikki shouted as she hit a button.

The miniguns fired rapidly, with bullets speeding towards the agents. The agents tried to swerve out of the way, but they were met with a hail of bullets. I heard tires pop, as well as blown-out tanks.

Gas tanks, oh boy.

Suddenly, explosions birthed from the SUVs, as they were sent flying into the air. The agents tried to get out, but they were met with a wall of fire. I looked away, as I heard screams coming from the agents.

“We’re not done yet,” Nikki muttered, as she pushed another button. As she did, I looked ahead, seeing more SUVs move towards us at f-a-s-t speeds. “This is gonna get bumpy.”

Nikki took us down a narrow alleyway, as she brought a big hole in the trunk. “What in the world,” Malachi muttered. “What is that?!”

“Missiles,” she said, as we heard a loud boom from the release of missiles. They spanned out, as they took down the SUVs in a big way.

I heard another loud explosion, as I covered my ears. When I looked back, I saw a big cloud of fire rumbling towards us. “Jump!” Nikki shouted as she unbuckled her seatbelt.

We all jumped out of the car, just as it caught to the Genesis. The Genesis birthed a big explosion, as I felt the heat on my back. We all hit the ground hard, glass shattering around us.

I looked back, seeing the whole road full of explosions and people in shock. “Well, this doesn’t look good, does it,” Malachi said with a sardonic smile.

I slowly got up, looking at the horrid scene. People were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. I then looked back at Nikki, who was getting up as well.

“We need to get out of here,” she said. But then all of a sudden, more SUVs began to close up on us, leaving us surrounded. It happened in such a flash that I didn’t even know what was going on.

“What do we do now?” September cried as she looked around in terror.

Then, someone came out of one of the SUVs, and it was none other than Rocke. “Ahh, causing havoc once again,” he said with a chuckle. “All for this weapon that never concerned you.”

“We know exactly what your plan is,” September said dully. “And we’re going to stop you.”

“Oh, is that so?” Rocke said mockingly as he expressed a shocking face mockingly. “I’m very scared to find out, to be honest.”

Nikki stepped in front of us, as she glared daggers at Rocke. “You will never get your hands on the Cybertron.”

Rocke shrugged. “I think I might actually because in case you didn’t know, your little friend Greg has it in his pocket.”

We turned around, as Greg’s face became boggled with confusion. “What is he talking about?”

Rocke chuckled. “You see, we had to put a little camera in your room. Now, this was after you guys left apparently, and your friend transferred to one of the employees that had your key. And guess what, he took it.”

“I thought you guys accidentally left it there, so I brought it,” Greg said with a sobered face.

“And now we have it,” Rocke said as he held out his hand. “Now, if you don’t mind. I’ll just take it.”

“No,” I said, standing in front of him.

Rocke looked at me with no sign of seriosity. “Connor, I’d prefer for you to not annoy me right now if you would please move out the way.”

I didn’t budge a single bit. “No, I won’t let you have it.”

“Fine,” he said with a sigh. “If that’s how you want to play it.”

Rocke snapped his fingers, as the agents pulled out their guns, pointing them at us. But all of a sudden, we heard siren wails in the distance.

“What?” Rocke muttered under his breath. He then looked at us with a look of death, as he looked back again. Soon enough, police cruisers began to pile into the strangled street.

“Rocke, we need to go,” one of the agents said in a panic.

“No,” Rocke said. “We’ll deal with them, try to make it as if something happened okay? I’ll deal with these fools.”

Preview:

The agent nodded, and suddenly they pushed a car towards one of the cruisers, creating a big explosion.

I looked around, as the place turned into a war zone. Police were shooting at the agents, as the agents were ducking behind the SUVs. Rocke chuckled, then looked at us. “Well, you guys want to act tough, might as well,” Rocke said with cackle, as four other guys came behind him. “Take down the others, I’ll deal with Connor.”

They nodded as they all charged at full speed. I then looked back at Nikki and the others, as they were holding their own.

Rocke then charged at me with a swing, which I quickly ducked. I then uppercut him in the stomach, as he hunched over in pain. He then tried to clothesline me, but I quickly dodged it.

“I see, you’re a fast one,” he said, throwing another punch, but I quickly dodged it. I then tried to punch him, but he quickly grabbed my arm. He then kneed me in the stomach, as I cried in pain.

Then he charged up his Perk, or mine I should probably say, and he punched me in the stomach.

I felt my body leap from the ground as I hit the asphalt hard. All the wind was knocked out of me, as I gasped for air.

Rocke then walked over to me with a chuckle. “Every single time, this happens. You’ll never win against me.”

“Who said I was over?” I said, slowly getting up. “I’m not even close to being finished.” I got up weakly but with a look of death in my eyes. Rocke then scoffed, as he got into his fighting stance.
