Running Out Of Time
*Emily's P.O.V.*
"Ok, ok, ok, so WHO would let the media know that Emily is related to Senator Morra?" Brian asked the people gathered in the file storage room, sitting in chairs or standing around. Noticing that everyone looked bored, I tossed a water bottle to Clyde, adding, "Brian and I decided to make up a chart of everyone who knows who I'm related to. Clyde, hold the water bottle, we're gonna need it later."
Clyde looked confused, but held onto it. I pulled out a chart with pictures of people, setting it up as Brian said, "Obviously, Emily's mom and dad know of Emily's connection to Senator Morra. But, there not likely suspects simply because they've tried to hide Emily from Morra for years." "So there would be no reason for them to tell the media about me." I added, "Now there are the people here, namely everyone in this room."
Bonnie raised an eyebrow as I continued, pointing to the chart of everyone's faces, "I trust all of you guys, even though I've only known all of you for a few days. None of you have any reason to tell the media about me, especially not Benny, Rue, Rebecca Harrison, Agent Boyle, Brian Finch, Bonnie and Clyde!"
"SOOOOOO, if NONE of us our your suspects, then WHO do you think leaked the information about your connection to Senator Morra?" Rebecca Harrison asked me, looking confused. I looked to Brian Finch, who replied to Rebecca's question, "The only two suspects we have are Senator Morra and Sands...."
I showed 3 pictures of Senator Morra, Sands, and a shadowy photo, continuing, "Senator Morra could have told the media about my connection to him, simply to make a story to gain custody over me. Sands could use this leak to launch a fake custody grab for me, since he did work for Senator Morra for a long time." "That and Sands knows a lot of Senator Morras operations." Brian Finch added, to which I nodded, "He has a point."
Rue pointed towards the chart, asking as she pet Pikachu's head, "Whose the shadowy person?" I looked at the photograph, replying quietly, "I'm not to sure. I've caught someone following us to the safe house for the last 2 nights. We've managed to shake the person off, so she doesn't know where the safe house is......"
"She?" Benny asked.
"Judging by how she walks, the manner of her appeal and overall body shape, I'm 95% certain the Shadow Lady is female." I replied simply.
"Oh."
"The Shadow could be anyone." Brian Finch told us, adding, "It could be a member of Senator Morra or Sands team, a spy, someone from Emily's past, or someone in this very room." I scanned everyone's faces for any giveaway facial expressions. Everyone looked either concerned, confused or both concerned and confused. I was almost certain that no one in this room was the Shadow Lady....
Agent Boyle commented, "We should double up the bodyguards taking Emily, Benny, Rue and Emily's parents back to the safe house every night. Also, we should make sure that you three can contact us no matter what...." "Already done, on the communication end," I held up some walkie-talkies, handing them out to everyone as I explained, "This radios signal transmits over a secret frequency, this no one can hack in or out of the radio calls."
I handed Bonnie her walkie-talkie, adding as I stared into her eyes, "It'll help us figure out who the informant might be, if the informant has a walkie-talkie." Bonnie didn't looked unnerved by what I said, taking the walkie-talkie before clasping it onto her belt. *If Bonnie's the informant, then she does a good job at hiding it* Evil Me commented, even as Good Me added, *Maybe she isn't the informant?*
*Yeah, maybe.* I mentally hoped, going back to stand next to Brian Finch and our chart. Clyde held up the water bottle I gave him earlier, asking, "But why do you need me to hold this?" Taking the bottle from Clyde, Brian Finch poured the entire water bottle over a spare walkie-talkie, informing us, "If you get your walkie-talkies wet, don't panic; there water proof." "Sweet!" Rue beamed, causing me to smile softly.
Once the meeting was over, Bonnie, Clyde, and several agents took Rue, Benny and I to some black minivans. Bonny always drove me in the middle of the 3 car column, with Bonny and Rue in the minivan behind me. With the reveal of the Shadow Lady, however, they were 2 extra minivans, one on each end.
I hopped into the back seat, since Bonnie doesn't like me sitting in the front seat next to her. I wasn't too sure why, but it was probably because of a partner she once had, who was sadly killed..... Anyhow, I'm getting off track again! Bonnie jumped jnto the drivers seat, keeping the radio off as she drove in the column.
Within a few minutes, I was extremely bored. I tried entertaining myself with the Pic Collage on my phone, but I didn't know what type of collage to make. I flipped to the gallery, staring at the Shadow Lady picture. The rainy day didn't help with the fuzzy picture of the female, the only thing visible being her black trenchcoat and black hat.
Looking up out the window, I watched New York City's people, going about their daily lives. Most didn't even know of the war I was facing. Looking in the back mirror, I raised an eyebrow when I couldn't see the two minivans behind us. In fact, the two minivans in front of us were a few cars ahead of us......
"Miss Bonnie.....?"
"Duck, now!"
I did as I was told, holding my walkie-talkie in one hand with my knife in the other. Just as I ducked, I could hear Bonnie ask me calmly, "Remember when you told me that I drive too fast?"
I nodded.
"I'm gonna drive fast."
Snap!
Bonnie floored the gas pedal, zooming past vehicles after vehicles. I held onto my chair for dear life, afraid to get into a accident since I wasn't wearing a seat belt. Hey, would you be able to wear a seat belt when your not even in your chair?! I wrapped the seat belt around my arm as I turned my walkie-talkie on, calling out,"Vehicle Gold is zooming away! Repeat, Vehicle Gold is zooming away! Over!?"
No response.
I calmed my heart down, checking to see if the batteries weren't in correctly..... Only to realize there were no batteries. *What the heck.......?!* "BONNIE?!?" I yelled in at my bodyguard, even as she promptly stopped the minivan. I nearly flew over, but kept myself steady with my seat belt. Bonnie got out of the van and locked the doors before I could get out!
*SNAP, NOT GOOD! NOT GOOD!* I mentally screamed, trying to break the window open. But when Bonnie pumped some knock out gas into the Vans pipe, I quickly got knocked out. I should have known Bonnie was the informant..... And now I'm paying for the trust I thought Bonnie had gained.......
