❝I don't fancy going to jail.❞

[The Getaway]

Myra leaned her head back on the headrest of the seat she was in, and pulled out her kindle from her pocket. She knew she wasn't supposed to bring modern-day devices on their missions but Myra had stopped listening to that rule ages ago, and right now she was glad she had because this was the only thing that was going to keep her from wanting to murder her friends.

They had been stuck in the camper for a little bit and Myra was already going stir crazy, as was everyone else apparently.

Mona was rifling through the cabinets on the ship while Sara attempted not to lose her head in the front seat.

John suddenly got up from his place beside her and walked over to Sara. Myra could hear him complaining to Sara about being stuck in the back with Mona and Myra and Myra almost got up and slapped him.

"We are going to Disney World." Sara suddenly announced, as she turned around in her seat and faced the other Legends.

"Yawn. Haven't we been tortured enough?" Mick complained.

Myra shot him a disgusted look.

"No. What I mean is we are going to fix Nixon in time to get him to Florida to lie his ass off." Sara told them, "We are not going to let anything stop us from doing what we set out to do."

Myra raised an eyebrow, "We're not seriously driving all the way to Disneyworld? I mean Disney is basically my favorite thing after coffee and food, but a lengthy drive in this small vehicle does not sound fun."

Sara looked at her, "Yes we are. Now, Mick watch our tail. John, see if you can figure out what's wrong with Nixon. And Myra help him."

Myra and John exchanged disgusted looks but didn't argue.

"And Mona. Find us something to wear." Sara added, "Charlie-"

Sara and Ray suddenly looked at each other in shock, "We forgot Charlie!"

Myra's eyes widened. How did she not look around to see if Charlie had made it? Some girlfriend she was.

"We can't go back." Sara said, "Charlie will just have to pretend to be Nixon until we can safely go get her."

"We're leaving Charlie, there?" Myra asked, "Who's to say she won't do something to screw up history?"

"We'll just have to take the risk." Sara answered.

Mona suddenly pulled shirts out from a cupboard, "Look."

Myra wrinkled up her nose as she read the words on the shirts, "'Barnes Family Vacation. Our family's a trip.' Ew, I am not wearing that."

Mona handed her a shirt anyways and Myra sighed as she pulled it on over her black shirt that she'd been wearing over her labcoat. The others did the same, except for John who always wore the same outfit, so he didn't need a shirt.

Sara grabbed a map and instructed Ray on where to go next.

"Hey guys. Looks like Nixon over there is winning the war on drugs." John said, interrupting them.

Sara jumped out of her seat and Myra hovered next to her.

"Good God, I've been kidnapped by hippies." Nixon said, looking around, "What is it that you want? Money? Power? I'll do anything."

"Look, we're here to help you." Sara interrupted.

"Let's talk about money." Mick said and Myra shot him a look.

"You know right now we're your best shot at getting back to your right self." John said, and looked at him, "Oh, let's have a look. Now, I have my suspicions as to what's got at you. Yep."

John opened a jar before muttering an incantation. Myra stepped back in horror as a bug flew out of Nixon's mouth and John captured it in the jar.

"Ew." Myra gagged.

"It's a roach." Mick said.

"I've been bugged." Nixon exclaimed.

"I mean he's not wrong." Myra said.

"This is an agent of Ma'at, the goddess of truth in the Egyptian pantheon. You see the creature, it feeds on lies. And whoever it eats at has nothing but the truth left to tell." John explained.

"No wonder it found its way to Nixon. You must have been a feast." Sara exclaimed and pulled out the tranquilizer gun before shooting him again, "Put him in the closet."

John and Myra pushed Nixon into the closet before sitting back down on the couch.

A little bit more time passed and everyone was still bored. Myra now had her head resting on John's shoulder as she read her kindle. She was sure John was reading over her shoulder but she decided not to say anything. She really didn't need to fight with him over anything especially in this small van.

Suddenly the van lurched to the either side rather abruptly and Myra immediately lifted her head up.

"What's going on?" Myra asked.

Sara was bending down to grab something off of the floor. She held up the jar that had the bug in it.

"Who called the cops?" Mick suddenly asked, loudly as sirens pierced the air.

"Great. Now we're getting pulled over." Myra grumbled.

Ray pulled the van over as the officer came over to the window. Myra couldn't hear everything he was saying but Ray was definitely making stuff up.

Suddenly the bug somehow escaped the jar and Ray started telling the truth. Myra groaned as the police officer walked off.

"Get this out of me!" Ray yelled at John who did so.

Sara inspected the lid, "How'd it even?" She then saw a hole, "Mona?"

"I can't have a ticket on my record." Ray mumbled, "I can't have a ticket on my record!"

Myra leaned forward, "You don't have any tickets?"

"And nabbing Nixon's going to give you more than a bloody ticket, mate." John added.

"True." Myra said, "We need to get out of here before the police find out we've kidnapped Nixon. I don't fancy going to jail."

"She's right. We need to go." John said.

"Gun it!" Mick yelled from the backseat.

"He's right. Gun it!" Sara agreed.

"But then we'll become fugitives!" Ray said.

"We're already fugitives!" Sara yelled.

"Yeah, I'd also rather not have Nate's dad find us." Myra added.

"Go!" Sara said and Ray luckily did this time.

"This is not going to go well." Myra sighed.
