Chapter Four - I Get Along with a Little Help from my Friends
We pulled up to the front of the house. Everyone ran out to meet our car. Juniper ran and opened my door.
"Miss Keyland!! Where were you what happened?! We were worried sick." Juniper exclaimed.
I got up out of the car and as everyone stared at me in awe I announced.
"The love of my life, Sherlock Holmes is dead."
I stared out at the crowd of gaping faces.
"Moriarty killed him." I add.
Fiona's face went livid.
"Damn it Keyland! I'm gonna help you get your revenge." she spat gritting her teeth. I was frankly shocked by her vehemence.
"My Sister and I will join you in your quest." Ren says.
"We will all help you." Juniper stated gravely.
I take a good look at this sort of family I have, my resolve hardens.
"No. No you won't." I state firmly.
"But..." June starts.
"No. Moriarty is more than just some dictator. He has his ways... If you help me...Hell if you are even seen with me. He will kill you." I spat.
"Keyland..." The professor starts.
"No. I already have the death of one friend on my conscience. I won't have another. You all are to leave. Don't tell anyone where you go. If you value your lives leave me alone." I yell.
Fiona was silent for my speech, leaning against the hood of the professor's car. But at my last sentence she stood.
"Keyland is right. This mission is far too dangerous for everyone here. Professor, you need to find somewhere safe to stay. Ren and Aki. Now it is time for you to move on too. Juniper..." Fiona trails off.
"I have no where else to go..." June admits.
"Fine. And there is no way I'm leaving you alone now Keyland." Fiona says turning to me.
"It's far too dangerous." I reply.
"Danger is my middle name." She states with a dramatic hair flip.
I shot her an unamused glance as the others came to me to say their goodbyes.
"She is right you know. If you ever need us..." The professor starts.
"If I ever need you I will find you." I promise.
"Good. Now that that is taken care of...Keyland, we should go." Fiona says pulling on some shades.
So Juniper and Rachel and Fiona and I got in the car and set off.
"Where are we going?" I asked as Fiona drove us down the road.
"I think it's time we find a safe place. I know just where to go." Fiona smiles.
"Um. Miss Fiona how far away is this safe place?" June pipes up.
"A few hours why?" She states.
"Miss Rachel and I need to use the washroom." June says with a blush.
Fiona sighed heavily and pulled over into the nearest gas station.
"Fine but hurry back." She barks.
"Thanks!" June said grabbing Rachel's hand and dragging her inside.
We watched them enter the building and Fi let out a burdened sigh. She tapped her fingers along the steering wheel.
"So... Thanks I guess." I say awkwardly.
"Thanks for what?" Fiona asks boredly.
"For helping me out..." I explain.
Fiona ignored me adjusting the mirror.
"You know I don't think your that bad after all..." I state quietly.
"Shut up." She barks.
"Excuse me?!" I sass.
"Shut up we are being followed. We need to go." She says worriedly.
"We can't June and Rachel are still in the bathroom." I say glancing at the door of the station.
"It's safer to leave them there..." She says pulling on some leather gloves.
Fiona shifted into reverse and slammed the gas. We pealed out of the parking stall backwards, then she shifted the gears again and we punched out of the parking lot.
"Fiona!" I exclaim.
"Hold on to something!" She yelled as a black Jeep followed us out of the parking lot.
She drove wildly and got us onto the highway. She drove like a madwoman and pulled down a side road.
"I think we lost them!" She shouted triumphantly.
Then out of nowhere another vehicle pulled out into the road ahead of us. We slammed into the side of it. The airbags went off and everything went black.
