Chapter 2
(Skyler's POV)
After walking about three blocks, we finally saw the parking lot full of Taxi Cabs.
"There it is and look, there's the cab driver now" I said while pointing to a tall black guy that was about to get into the driver's seat. "All you need to do is get in the back and I'm sure, at the right price, he'll drive you where ever you want to go."
I was about to turn around, thinking that my job here was done when I was pulled back gentle into a chest and strong arms wrapped around me, trapped me against it.
"You must come with us because I am sure it would be most difficult to locate you on further notice" Seth said trying, tightening his arms around me as I struggled, trying to get free while ignoring the pleasurable feeling of him touching me.
"Trust me, you'll find some reason to not even remember me" I said implying that I would just be another girl he sees in the crowd. I struggling harder but his arms were like they have turned into steel.
He look at me confused before looking at his sister for help.
"Skylar Rodriguez, it is incredible vital that you accompany us on our mission." She placed her hand on my shoulder, grabbing my attention causing me to stop struggling. "I am aware of how quickly your mind processes knowledge just by a single glance."
"How do you know that?" I said slightly glaring at her.
"I also am aware of how you are curious of thing that you are unaware of which was very little until you encountered us." I stared at her in shock. "Come with us and I can assure you that all your questions will be answered to the best of our ables."
How could she have possible known that from knowing me for less than 40 minutes. Putting aside the fact that these two are obviously not normal, she's right. It really kills me not knowing somethings But Maria and Vicky always said my curiosity always gets me into weird situations. On the other hand, it could be my chance to get some ideas for a new game and to get out of the house.
After thinking it over for a minute, I sighed before resting my forehead on his chest.
"Fine but let's hurry before that guy leaves" I said pointing to the driver that was doing what looks like arguing with two guys in suits.
When I said that, Seth started pushing me towards the cab. Sarah opened the door and got in first then me and lastly, Seth who grabbed my hand with both of his as soon as he got sat down. I couldn't find it in myself to pull away.
Maybe I was wrong about him? Maybe he's not like other guys? Even thought the chances of that are very slim.
I turned to look at the front when I saw the driver's ID.
Jack Bruno. Knowing that could come in handy if I need a witness.
When Jack finished arguing, he got into the driver's seat and drove onto the road. Not even a second later, the taxi suddenly stops, startling all of us in the back seat. The driver turns to us with a shocked look on his face.
"Where did you come from?" he asked
"Outside" said Seth as if it was the most obvious answer. I giggled softly causing Seth to look at me with a smile.
"Yeah, I figured that out on my own" Jack said while rolling his eyes. "I mean how did you get in the car."
"Through the door." I said as we all pointed to the door on Seth's left.
"I'm Seth, this is my sister Sarah and this is Skylar. We require you transportation services immediately", said Seth
"Really. Well I require" started Jack
"Currency transaction" Sarah finished for him.
"Will this amount suffice?" Asked Seth as he used his other hand to pull out a big wad of money from his pocket.
Where did they get so much money? I don't even carry that much cash.
"What did you three rob a bank?" asked Jack.
"Is this acceptable Jack Bruno?" asked Sarah, purposefully ignoring his question.
"How'd you know my name?" asked Jack
"Your taxi driver's permit is right there" I said pointing to the ID.
"If we will deal with your services, we must move forward rapidly. It's urgent we get to our destination without delay" Seth said
"Alright, alright. I'm going." Jack said as he started driving because of the car hocking behind us. "Where to?" Seth released my hand and pulled out a strange device and started touching the screen. The screen lit up with weird signs and coordinates. "I need an address."
"We must travel in that direction." Sarah said, pointing north-east.
"I'm gonna need something a little more specific that just that direction." Jack said while mimicking Sarah.
"We must locate Latitude 40.54 cross intersecting longitude-" Seth started
"We're just gonna stick with that direction." Jack said, again mimicking where Sarah pointed.
Man, who are these kids? Wait?
"Latitude 40.54, near Las Vegas. That's where Mount. Charleston is." I said scanning my mind for the answers. "By car, it'll take 50 minutes at the normal speed limit but if you drive at the speed of 100, we'll get there in approximately 20 minutes and 34 seconds."
Jack glanced at me out of the corner of his eye in shock while Sarah and Seth smiled at me.
"How did you know that?" asked Jack
"I always learn everything about all the countries I've been in and if money is your problem." I said before pulling out a wad of cash but not as big a Seth's. "I'll gladly pay for any ticket you get or already have and also pay for gas."
Jack looked shocked before he sighed while shaking his head.
"Fine" he said before doing exactly what I said.
A few minutes later, we were pulled over by a police.
"Sir can you please tell me why you were doing over 140 in a 65 zone" the police said
Wait a second. I know that voice.
"Hey Hank!" I said leaning forward so he can see me from the driver's window.
"Little lady Sky." He said in wonder "It's been a long time. I see you finally got out of the house."
"Yeah. I was just looking around as always" I said "How's Debra?"
"She's excelling in school because of your tutoring. Now where are you going?" he asked
"Making an emergence delivery outside of Vegas so if you don't mind, we're kinda in a hurry." I said
"Oh no problem" shrugged Hank "Do you want me to call everyone you tell them not to stop you?"
"That'll be great. Thanks" I said with a smile before taping Jack's shoulder, knocking him out of his trance then leaned back.
"How did you do that?" Jack asked while looking at me in the rear view mirror.
"Oh the police force and I go way back." I said
"Who are you?" he asked
I just smirked and unconsciously nuzzled my face into Seth's shoulder while he, yet again, grip my hand gentle but firmly.
