...Police cars and helicopters search for Harper, Chase and Adam throughout the city, they managed to escape through a city tunnel and reach a forest near the city.

The three look at the city seriously, with nothing to say.

Newton goes to Chase and caresses his leg with his paw.

Adam looks at the city upset, and leaves towards the woods.

Harper puts her hand on Chase's shoulder and snaps her fingers for Newton to follow her as she follows Adam.

Chase holds the belt buckle with his Elite Force symbol in his hand, he observes the Elite Force symbol for a while.

Chase sighs and throws his belt buckle on the floor and follows behind Harper and Adam.

Not even knowing where to go, they just know that they should go far away from there...

|Adam's travel diary|

# Day one

Okay, here we go.

Hi, I'm Adam Davenport, I'm 21 years old and I'm writing in this diary because today, Harper freaked out and stole our chips from government, she made the secretary of state and probably the entire country angry at us.

Then you ask me "Okay, Adam, but why did you follow her?" I thought I knew why but now I honestly don't know if it was a good idea, me, her and Chase walked around all day just thinking about what to do.

It was definitely not a good idea.

The crazy thing is that Chase also followed her into all this madness and the day before the two of them had a big fight about it, but I think she forgave him after he ran after her.

Man, these two are crazy, they have a crazy love, and I think it's incredible...of course I never told them that, I don't want Chase to know that I envy his relationship with Harper.

But man, I don't know anyone else who would give everything away just to be by their girlfriend's side, and I also don't know anyone else who would have the courage to go up against several guys in suits and an entire country to protect something you believe in.

So maybe if I'm supposed to be in this shitty situation with someone, I'm happy for it to be with these two.

So I'm going to keep this diary, try to write down everything important that happens in it because if we get out of this, and I'm positive that we're going to get out of this because... because I learned from a very special person that it's important being positive, I think having these memories can be interesting, and it also helps me clear my mind about things I can't say out loud.

Harper is feeling terrible about everything that happened and Chase doesn't seem like Chase, because the Chase I know would be freaking out and he's completely calm, and it's scaring me.

It's crazy to think that this morning I woke up in my capsule in the tower and ate chocolate cereal for breakfast as usual and now I'm writing here sitting under a tree while Chase tries to sketch a map on the floor and Harper bites her nails.

It's crazy how life works...if I had known I would have put more cereal in my pocket now I only have crumbs. Damn It!

『••✎••』

Adam puts down the diary.

"What are we going to do now?" Adam says "I didn't think about that part of the plan" Harper says "I didn't think about anything at all" Harper says, Chase looks at her with pity.

"let me see the chips" Chase holds out his hand, Harper takes three Chips from her jacket pocket, she frowns, she hands him the chips and looks for one more in her pockets.

"there's only three Chips there" Adam says "where's the fourth chip?" Chase asks "I don't know, it must have fallen in the middle of the action" Harper says.

Chase looks at the chips in his hand, Harper sighs and drops her head putting her hands on her face "I can't believe what I did!" Harper says, the sound of her voice muffled by her hands.

Chase and Adam look at each other "I think what you did was amazing" Adam says "Harper...." "Chase, not now!" Harper gets up and starts walking away in a mixture of anger and upset.

"My chip is one of those, right?" Adam asks "We can't tell Adam, we'll only know which is which when we use it...except for Harper's which is different" Chase takes Harper's chip and shows it to Adam.

"Oh so what are we waiting for..." Adam tries to take the chip, Chase hits his hand "No! The chips are traceable if we use them the FBI thinks we can...we have to reconfigure but we can't do that without a lab or something" Chase stands up.

"Then let's look for a lab! What if we go back to Mission Creek?" Adam suggests, Chase sighs "I think it's more important that we survive the first night first!" Chase says putting it in his pocket..

Adam looks at the sky and sees the sunset "Yeah, I always wanted to camp" Adam smiles.

Chase rolls his eyes and walks over to Harper who is staring at the road "I think we better start walking" Chase says "where?" Harper says without looking at him "Wherever this road leads...at least it's far from here" Chase says.

Harper chuckles at the idea of going far away "We need a place to spend the night" Chase says, Harper points "there's a rock not far from here...why don't we call it home" Harper says sarcastically.

Chase shakes his head "Harp look at me..." Chase says, Harper looks at him "I'm looking into the eyes of everything I care about most right now...It doesn't matter where or even when, but always, you are the only destiny I have, so I don't care where we go" Chase says looking into her eyes.

"But wherever you go, I'll go... so it's up to you to decide" Chase says and points to the road, Adam approaches "I'm with you on this one, 101% which is even more than 100%" Adam says determined.

"Why did you abandon everything for me?" Harper says "why not give up everything for you?" Adam asks, Chase agrees.

Harper looks at the two, she smiles "Okay let's do it" Harper says, Chase holds out his hand for her to take, she takes Chase's hand.

Adam snaps his fingers for Newton, who was lying at the foot of the tree, to follow them, they start walking.

|Adam's travel diary|

# Day one

...Yes, there isn't much for me to write since all we did today was walk and walk and walk...walking until we can't feel our legs anymore.

At least I don't feel mine, and without bionics the effect is much worse. We no longer hear helicopters or police sirens.

We found some kind of abandoned bus stop in the middle of the road, we decided that we're going to spend the night here and in the morning guess what we're going to do...walk!

The atmosphere is strange between us, that is, in addition to walking, we spend hours in silence, which is boring as hell!!

『••✎••』

Adam puts down his notebook and sighs impatiently.

Harper sits next to him in silence.

"Do you want me to cheer you up?" Adam smiles, Harper shakes her head no "I'm going to do it anyway" Adam says.

"When are you and Chase getting married? I want to be the best man" Adam says, Harper smiles quickly "How am I going to marry him if I just ruined his life?" Harper says upset.

Adam approaches her "you didn't ruin his life" Adam hugs Harper "quite the opposite, Chase was a total loser before he met you" Adam says, Harper laughs.

"True! I don't even know what would have happened to him if you two hadn't met...he would probably...still be a virgin!" Adam says, Harper laughs.

"you're so stupid" Harper says, and lays her head on his shoulder "Yup that's my thing" Adam says, and he kisses her forehead, Harper sighs and slightly closes her eyes.

Chase approaches them "I think we lost them" Chase says approaching "That's good" Harper says "What does it mean we're going to live at this bus stop?" Adam asks.

"It's just tonight! I've come to the conclusion that with how seriously the government took the bionic law, they're going to make every effort to find us" Chase says "It means we can't stay still" Harper says.

"exactly, we're going to try to stick to one place a night and get further and further away until we're lucky enough to find somewhere safe enough to stay" Chase says "Wait! This could take years" Adam says "I know" Chase says.

Adam looks at him worried "does this mean we're never going home again?" Adam says, Harper and Chase look at each other "never say never" Chase says.

"but our lives will never be the same again" Chase says, Adam thinks for a moment.

Chase sighs "okay, I think it's good to check out everything we have and see what's useful" Chase says, going through our pockets and taking out the chips, Adam and Harper do the same.

"Okay What do you have?" Chase asks, Adam takes the notebook "a small notebook, a pen..." Adam says "why do you carry a notebook?" Harper frowns.

"remember what Chase always says to me "you understand or do you need to draw!?" Adam says "that's not exactly what I say" Chase says "It doesn't matter, so you can stop bothering me, I'll draw explanations of the missions here..." Adam shows scribbles in his notebook.

Chase frowns for a moment "well...I'm proud of your effort" Chase says, Adam smiles "I have them too, coupons for free pizza, a coin, a used toothpick..." Adam says, Harper and Chase make a disgusted face.

"And my watch that I only use because it's pretty because I don't know how to tell the time on that thing!" Adam says showing a pointer wristwatch.

"Great, Harper?" Chase asks "I have, a hair clip, gum, a pocket knife, a bracelet and a... condom" Harper says clearing her throat, Adam frowns "and you?" Harper asks Chase.

"I have 10 dollars, Lip balm..." "wait, she carries the condom and you Lip balm? Is that how you guys work?" Adam laughs, Harper and Chase glares at him "I see Harper wears the pants and other stuff in this relationship..." Adam says laughing "shut up!" Harper says irritated.

Chase rolls his eyes "I also have a photo and my credit card which is useless now as well as the key to the penthouse" Chase says putting everything on the bench.

"That's all we have" Harper says "perfect we can make a fire now!" Adam says, Harper and Chase look at him "how are we going to make a fire out of this?" Chase says "I don't know, that's what they do at camps, right?" Adam says.

"We're not camping! We're running away!" Harper says "Oh would it be worth it if you packed a backpack before you suddenly decided to steal from the government?" Adam says, Harper looks at him angrily.

"Hey! Guys this is serious!" Chase says "what about food?" Harper sighs "we have Newton" Adam says, Harper looks at him confused and hugs the cat scared "what the fuck are you implying?" Chase ask.

"That he's a cat, a predator he can hunt for us.." Adam says, Harper sighs in relief "what did you think I was implying?" Adam ask, Harper and Chase look at each other and Adam gasps "you sick!" Adam says.

Harper rolls her eyes "Well, what we don't lack is time to think...but I think we should sleep now, it's been a busy day" Chase says "Don't tell me about" Adam says.

Chase puts away his things, and approaches Harper, she looks at him and caresses his face "I don't know if I'll be able to sleep" Harper says, Chase nods "okay...come here" Chase says hugging her and leaning back on the bench keeping her head on his chest.

Harper hugs Newton who fell asleep on her lap and Adam sits on the floor next to them leaning his head on the bench, he writes in his notebook.

"What are you writing so much in that notebook?" Harper ask "I'm keeping a record of everything that's happening to us, and all my thoughts on the road" Adam says.

"Wait, do you have thoughts?" Chase says, Adam rolls his eyes "why?" Harper asks putting her leg on top of Chase's leg while he gently holds her thigh.

"I don't know, it seemed like a good idea, I need to clear my mind....and it would be interesting to read this in the future" Adam says, Chase smiles "yeah, it's kind of a good idea" Chase says.

"you can write whenever you feel like it too, it helps" Adam says "no thanks" Harper says "maybe" Chase says, Adam shrugs and puts the notebook away, closing his eyes.

Harper tries to relax by resting her head more on Chase's chest, she hears his heart beating fast, very fast, not matching his expression or the calm tone of his voice.

"Good night, Darling" Chase says calmly closing his eyes, Harper holds the sleeping cat's fur in his lap "Goodnight Sweetheart" Harper says as she stares at the floor.

Chase quickly falls asleep, as does Adam who soon starts snoring, Harper closes her eyes but can't sleep, there's a lot going on in her head.

She gives up trying to sleep when she starts to see the dark sky start to lighten, she looks at Adam's watch that he left on the bench, and sees that it is 4 am.

It seemed like that night would last forever, Harper starts to feel distressed because she can't sleep, she tries to divert her thoughts from the situation they find themselves in but she can't.

Because whenever she closes her eyes it seems like armed police cars and helicopters are going to appear right in front of them, just waiting for when they are defenseless.

As she reflected on everything, she took out the photo that Chase carried in his pocket, she always noticed that he carried this photo but I never managed to see which photo it was.

She unfolds the paper and sees that it is an old photo, the first photo that she and Chase had ever taken together, in fact, it was Bree who took it when she received a camera as a birthday present.

This photo was taken when Harper had just started school, She wasn't bionic and she didn't even dream that dating Chase would be possible, it was just a distant dream.

She and Chase were just friends, but Chase still wrote their names on the photo with a heart and wrote next to Harper "My future wife"

Approximately four, almost five years since this photo was taken and Chase still carried the photo with him on every mission.

Harper smiles seeing how she and Chase were children when they met and she sighs thinking that he still loves her after so much time and so many things.

Harper suddenly notices Chase's breathing change rhythm, becoming more rapid, she moves away from him a little.

He's still sleeping but he starts shaking his head, like he's dreaming, but it's not a good dream, he starts shaking more "No! They don't" He mumbles.

Harper makes a worried face and puts Newton down gently "let her go" Chase mumbles again a little louder "Chase" Harper puts her hand on his shoulder trying to wake him up.

Chase keeps moving as if he was scared "Chase!!" Harper says louder, shaking him, then Adam wakes up and sees the situation.

"Chase wake up!!" Harper says and Chase wakes up with a start and breathing heavily "Stop!!" Chase screams, breathing fast in despair.

"Hey Chase calm down!" Harper gets in his face "man stay calm!" Adam goes to them seeing Chase having a panic attack.

"Harper!" Chase says scared "I'm here I'm here!" Harper makes him look into her eyes "Adam...Adam!" Chase says "Here, relax I'm fine, we're fine!" Adam says.

Chase starts to breathe more calmly, he lays his head on Harper's shoulder and puts his hand on Adam's arm trying to calm down.

"It was just a dream, we're with you" Harper says kissing his head, caressing the back of his neck, Adam approaches him, patting his back.

Chase sighs and a tear lightly runs down his face, Harper looks at Adam worriedly, he moves his lips silently saying "it's okay".

"Shhh it was just a nightmare" Harper says calmly, she feels Chase's cold hand on her back when he hugs her tighter "you're cold" Harper says "I'm fine" Chase says softly in her ear, still with his head resting on her shoulder.

Harper looks at Adam, he takes off the
jacket of the mission suit he's wearing and puts it on Chase, Harper adjusts the jacket on him, Chase runs his hand over his face, wiping away his tears, pretending it didn't happen.

"Better?" Adam asks, Chase nods "yes it was...it was just a dream I'm fine" Chase says, Adam sighs worried "what did you dream?" Harper asks, bending down in front of him.

"it doesn't matter" Chase says "Chase" Harper says seriously "You dreamed that the FBI took us, right?" Harper says, Chase looks at her upset.

Chase sobs slightly and rests his forehead against hers, Harper closes her eyes "it's okay" Harper whispers to him, Adam continues patting Chase on the back to calm him down.

Adam looks up at the sky and sees the sun starting to rise, Harper hugs Chase's neck and gives him a peck on the lips, he sighs more relieved.

"I think we done sleeping, right?" Adam says, Harper makes a frustrated face because she didn't even sleep "yeah I think so" Harper says sitting next to Chase.

"Are you better, sweetheart?" Harper takes his hand, still cold, "yes, I just need a little more time" Chase says running his thumb over her hand "Your hand is so warm" Chase smirk, Harper smiles and kisses his cheek.

Newton climbs onto Chase's lap and purrs as he pets the cat.

|Adam's travel diary|

# Day Four

... Okay, Finally I have something to write, I haven't written anything in the last few days because nothing very surprising has really happened.

We had been walking for about three days when we found Trent's grandmother's house, he helped us a lot, he let us stay in the garage and we got clothes and food, and most importantly a car!

I feel like everything will start to improve from now on, a car will help us a lot, and even the mood between us is finally improving.

Harper and Chase seem happier...

Harper had been suffering from insomnia since the day of the robbery. That night was the first night that Harper was able to sleep and also the first night that Chase slept through the night without dreams.

Chase told me that yesterday when I went to get the pizza he and Harper had a talk and that he tried to make her feel better about everything she did, and that it made him feel better too.

Again, I hope that one day Grace and I will have a relationship like theirs, but even better.

Oh and as for me, I wrote a letter to Grace telling her how much I love her and that was like taking a weight off my shoulders in a way.

I hope she gets it, but I needed to try, at least now I don't feel guilty for leaving her, because I didn't leave her, I protected her and I know she will be fine, I hope Leo and Mr Davenport will take care of my girl.

Not that she's my girl now, but I know she will be one day.

I fixed the car with what I learned in the mechanics course, I knew that this course would come in handy one day and finally I could see in Chase's eyes that he was impressed and proud of me.

Not that I was seeking his approval. Of course not...but it's nice to receive a compliment from him sometimes, and it's good to feel like I can solve something so important on my own.

Knowing something that was useful, and being useful without my chip, doing something because I'm good at it not because of the chip, it's a very good feeling.

We're in the car now, Chase driving and Harper taking care of Newton.

The plan now is to go to Mission Creek oh somewhere that has one of Douglas' hiding place or lab so we can fix the chips or something like that.

But today is the first day that our trip has been fun, I missed spending some quiet time with my family...or part of it.

We found an old camera in Trent's Grandmother's donation box, it's in good condition, now we can take photos of everything.

『••✎••』

Adam stops writing when Harper moves to the back seat where he is and lies down on the notebook.

"Aw Newton" Adam says, Harper smiles..

She looks at Chase driving "It's a beautiful day today" Chase looks at the sky, Harper smiles when she sees his hazel eyes shine in the sunlight.

"yup...You know what would make this day better...music!" Harper says leaning towards the radio.

"I don't know if the radio works" Chase says "come on Chase, this junk didn't work until a few hours ago, nothing doesn't work with us!" Adam says

Harper starts messing with the radio "Calm down, I know how to fix it" Harper messes with some wires.

"Adam takes a photo of Chase driving with an old polaroid camera, Chase frowns "what is that?" Chase says "I found an old camera in Trent's Grandmother's donation box, it's in good condition, now we can take photos of everything" Adam takes a picture of the landscape.

Harper puts the radio back in place "I did it!" Harper says the radio works again.

"Nice!" Adam says "Good job Harp!" Chase says, Harper smiles she changes the radio station.

"Why doesn't any station work?" Adam says "I don't know, I think the radio is too old" Harper says "There's some CDs in the glove compartment" Chase says.

"What kind of music is there" Adam approaches Harper "Adam put your seatbelt on!" Chase says firmly.

"Ah Chase relax, the belt doesn't make any difference" Adam says Harper looks at Chase who is watching Adam in the rear view mirror, he suddenly brakes the car and Adam hits his face on the back of the driver's seat lightly.

Chase goes back to driving normally, Harper nods "okay I'll put my seatbelt on" Adam says, Chase smiles, Harper chuckles.

"we only have music from the 90s behind apparently..." Harper says "those are great years for music" Chase says "put on this cd that says Mix" Adam says

Harper puts on the CD and "Living On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi starts playing "Oh I liked it!" Chase smiles "Gentlemen....this will be our soundtrack from now on!" Harper says.

"wow cool!" Adam starts bobbing his head to the beat of the music, he finds a leaflet on the floor.

Chase calmly starts humming the song, Harper notices and hums louder "We've gotta hold on to what we've got...It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not..." Harper hums, Chase always gets goosebumps when he hears Harper's voice singing, he forgets that she actually knows how to sing.

Harper smiles at him and nudges him lightly with her elbow, Chase chuckles. "We've got each other and that's a lot for love...We'll give it a shot!" Harper sings "Whoa, we're half way there" Chase lets out his voice, Harper gasps quickly, Chase can sing, he just doesn't know it.

"Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer!" Harper and Chase sing, Adam smiles while drumming on the bench "Take my hand, we'll make it I swear" Harper and Chase sing, he extends his hand to Harper, she takes his hand, laughing gently.

"Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer...Livin' on a prayer!" Adam joins in and the three sing.

"Wait this song is about us!?" Adam says, Harper and Chase frown.

Harper sees that Adam is holding a leaflet "what is this leaflet?" Harper asks.

"There's a map and...Oooh the Hollywood sign! It's that way...can we go there!?" Adam says excitedly "what?" Harper says "I've always wanted to see the Hollywood sign, can we go there?" Adam says.

Harper looks at Chase driving, already knowing the answer "Adam, I don't think we..." "Okay!" Chase interrupts Harper, she looks at him in surprise.

Chase looks at her quickly "yeah, I mean...do we have anything scheduled besides...living?" Chase smirks, Harper looks at Adam "That's my Chasey!" Adam celebrates.

Harper sighs "okay let's go to Hollywood then" Harper says, Chase smiles at her..

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

A/N = This was the first chapter, it was a simple chapter and all, but there's still a lot to happen

I also decided to change the perspective of the story a little by presenting Adam's travel diary, where it will be possible to see a different perspective of the story and the point of view of each of them, since Harper and Chase will also write in the diary eventually.
