Chapter 25: We Go From Fighting To Racing In Less Than a Second
"Shut up, Acra!" Leader-Person snapped at her.
"But, the prisoners-" she tried to protest.
"I don't want to hear it!" Leader-Person yelled back.
Pay, Trivia, and I were still walking (and stomping) away from the entire battle ground. Leader-Person, Veker, nor the ex-Bosses weren't looking at us. They were all too busy attacking the other person and trying not to die.
How did I know? I was walking backwards, my body facing them, and my back facing the direction I'm going. What? Someone needs to watch out from the back. Most bad-guys in movies always attack from the back.
"Look, Boss, those three people, the ones-" Axis started, but again, Leader-Person cut him off.
"I do not care. And you two, if you value your jobs and money, DO NOT interrupt me!" the other Leader-Person shouted, dodging another attack from Lady Boss's sword and avoiding a huge punch from Boss three.
"I don't think they've caught onto us yet," I commented for Trivia and Pay. "Only Acra and Axis . But they keep getting cut off, meaning they won't know that we've escaped!"
I took another step, but before putting my foot down, I quickly side-stepped. Oops. I was about to trip on a rock, I caught myself from falling, before continuing to walk backwards.
Veker turned to our direction, eyes widened as he noticed us getting away.
"Blue fish has caught onto us. I repeat, Blue fish has caught onto us. Use protocol 5-9-7. This is an emergency," I whispered to Pay and Trivia.
"I'm sorry, I don't speak gibberish. Or stupidity. Could you repeat that?" Pay asked me.
"Sure-"
"Target, no one can understand you. Speak like a normal person for once," Trivia cut me off.
"Fine. You guys clearly don't watch spy movies," I huffed the last bit to myself. "I said, "Veker has seen us. He's-"
Before I could say 'he's going to warn the others', Veker had already done so.
"Boss, the prisoners have escaped," he alerted them.
Then a lot of things happened right after that. One minute, it was Defendants versus Crowns. The next, everyone had suddenly started chasing after us, throwing knives and other weapons at us.
It was like they had never been fighting against each other in the first place.
Weren't the Crowns and Defendants sworn enemies a second ago? How come they're friends now? Friendship doesn't work that way.
"Don't let them get away!" I heard someone shout, but I couldn't tell who.
Trivia and Pay were in front of me, already having a head start. I sped up, trying to catch up with them. We all just ran, but unfortunately, so did everyone else. A few times, Acra's darts whizzed past my ear, but it didn't manage to hit me.
Actually, it didn't hit any of us three.
During our race, I used up most of my leg energy. I was thirsty, sticky, and sweaty. But we were almost done! The roads were getting closer and closer, until we could...
We all abruptly stopped. The highway was just a step away. We could've walked right through it and escaped. Except the only problem were the cars that were driving on the highway.
"Ugh. Guys, there's cars on the highways," I said, annoyed.
"Jeez, ya think?" Trivia hissed at me.
Right behind us, our enemies and former bosses stopped. They had stopped in a circle, blocking us from running back the way we came from. There was nowhere for us to go.
I think we were surrounded.

A/N:
Honestly, this chapter title describes most siblings, am I right?
But do you guys think Leader-Perosn's an important character in the story? Any name ideas for her? I might include any suggestions in my next book. Either that, or a poll. A poll could work as well.
But the end is near. Just like two chapters after this, that is all. You're almost done with Part 1 of the journey people. You can do it. We can do it!
Well, have an amazing day/night!
