Inspirational quote: Anyone who has ever made anything that is of importance was disciplined.

Kieran just couldn't stop gazing at Dr Kozak half cholerically as Dr Kozak was really quickly driving his car.

Realising that Dr Kozak was being stared at monstrously via Kieran, Dr Kozak stared at him back, then frowned as he fixed his eyes on the road again.

"Kieran, may I ask, why are you staring at me like that?"

Kieran didn't reply. Unlike before, he had been sent to the back of the car when he was at the front- this was because apparently one had to be eighteen or over to sit at the front when really the age to sit at the front was like, twelve.

"Your grandma, Dr Kozak? Seriously? If I was caught talking to my grandma like that, I'd probably be dead the second after."

Dr Kozak rolled his eyes as he kind of steered the wheel of his car really swiftly to the left, almost ending up in a car crash at nearly two o'clock in the morning.

"Yes. That was my grandmother, aka Agent Mordecai's wife. Agent Mordecai was my grandfather, Kieran, but unlike us two, me and my grandmother do not get along!"

And as he said the words do not get along, Dr Kozak kept on repetitively pressing the honk of his car due to the haywire amount of traffic that was currently going on outside.

"But what were you two arguing about that you had to go off on a wild tangent and swear at her in Swahili a million times?"

Dr Kozak didn't say anything, just put a toothpick in his mouth, muttering the words none of your business to Kieran.

Then Dr Kozak looked at him again.

"Crud. You're giving me that stare as if I'm crazy again. I hate that. And I wasn't swearing in Swahili, I was putting a curse and a spell on her that she'd die, end up in hell, and hopefully no one would come to her funeral in Italy."

What the hell? That was even worse than wanting her to die, and swearing in general. Kieran didn't really say anything. He felt claustrophobic here at the back of the car where a heavily sleeping Esperanza was taking up majority of the space.

"And to your other question, we were arguing because my grandmother thinks that I'm a 'bad person ' and a 'bad influence on other people'."

Because you are, Kieran thought, and totally forgetting that Dr Kozak could totally read his mind, kind of stopped thinking rude things about Dr Kozak, who by now was mad, so mad that he kind of threw his toothpick at Kieran.

"You speak really fluent Swahili by the way, kind of jealous," Kieran admitted.

Dr Kozak smiled before whispering 'thanks, learnt it myself when I was your age' then became mad again because since the time he had pressed his honk till now, the car hadn't actually moved one bit!

"Oh, for goodness sake!" Dr Kozak groaned, continuously pressing the honk although it wasn't really helping him or Kieran or a sleeping Esperanza in any way possible whatsoever.

Soon after, Dr Kozak secretly noticed that people were now leaving their cars and running away.

"What in tarnation is going on?!" He screamed to Kieran, who genuinely had no clue so just shrugged his shoulders in return as an answer.

Before Dr Kozak was about to make a U Turn back again for like the twenty millionth time in two hours, he found out that many many other cars were surrounding his although the people that were driving the cars were escaping as well.

"We need to get out of here, Dr Kozak!" Kieran told him stupidly.

"Do you not think I already know that! Shut up, kid, why don't you?" Dr Kozak told Kieran back in downright annoyance.

As Dr Kozak was trying to make a U Turn back, which backfired completely, he had soon heard someone call his name for everyone in the tunnel that they were currently under to hear.

"Demetrius! Demetrius!"

Dr Kozak was confused on who would have known his first name that was someone out of KOZAHKISTAN HEADQUARTERS but he didn't have time to think about it, he just kept trying to leave.

"Dude, stop! There's no sure fire way you can get out of here! Not with those cars blocking your pathway!"

Dr Kozak didn't say anything, that was until someone yelled his first name once again.

For some reason, Dr Kozak's car windows wouldn't wind down so Dr Kozak could only hear the person that had echoed his name really loudly, but couldn't actually see them.

"Demetrius, it's me!"

"I don't know you!" Dr Kozak whispered back angrily, trying to run over this unknown stranger that somehow happened to know Dr Kozak's first name.

"Yes you do, mate! Wind down!"

"I can't!" Dr Kozak argued.

Turned out, he could wind down, and once he realised who it was, he was genuinely really flummoxed.

"Agent Ezekiel?! What are you doing here?! It's like two o'clock in the morning!"

Agent Ezekiel didn't reply, just shouted at Dr Kozak if he had any space in his car, which Dr Kozak responded:

"Yeah.. At the front. Why?"

"Perfect!"

Without really asking Dr Kozak, Agent Ezekiel went on the left side of Dr Kozak's car, heading inside, shutting the door and doing his seatbelt.

Kieran just watched him in silence, feeling kinda sleepy, but knowing that if he slept he was going to wake up easily anyway because he was that light of a sleeper, like Clyde back at school, at least when the two of them were friends, anyway.

Because now, without a doubt, Kieran and Clyde were practically sworn sworn enemies. And they were never talking to each other ever again.

Classic enemies.

"Are you just going to appear everywhere where I least expect you to be?" Dr Kozak whispered to Agent Ezekiel, Kieran eavesdropping on their conversation once again.

"Yes, I am just going to appear everywhere where you least expect me to be," Agent Ezekiel agreed, surreptitiously bringing out a bubblegum flavoured ice cream for him to lick and eat.

There was an ice cream freezer at the front of the car, which was where ice cream was kept.

"Ezekiel, what's going on? Why are you here?"

Agent Ezekiel just shook Dr Kozak really hard by the shoulders until Dr Kozak was completely dizzy he nearly fainted.

"Demetrius," he began, looking at Dr Kozak in the eyes.

Or where Ezekiel thought Dr Kozak's eyes were, damn, it was quite hard looking at someone who wore colour blindness glasses majority of the time.

"Dude, there's been a fire."

"Okay..." Dr Kozak told Ezekiel, stopping the engine of his car. "And how does that affect me?"

"And an elephant has somehow escaped from the zoo and into this tunnel," Ezekiel joked, which Dr Kozak fell for completely.

Talk about not being 'naive' or 'gullible'.

"What?!" Dr Kozak echoed, switching on his car again and making a drive for it, because there was absolutely no way that he could run.

"Joking!"

"Never joke like that, Ezekiel!" Dr Kozak snapped at him, where Ezekiel just laughed. "I mean it!"

But it turned out that even though Ezekiel thought he was lying, what he said about the elephant escaping and being in the tunnel was actually, really, true.

"Oh my gosh you weren't lying! I can see an elephant! Ezekiel, what on Earth do we do?"

Ezekiel was alarmed, he didn't mean what he said about the escaping elephant thing, but he could see one right opposite him.

So was that why everyone was running? Or was that for another reason entirely?

Screw it, Dr Kozak knew he had to leave here immediately.

"What do I do, Ezekiel? I have pachydermophobia, which is the fear of elephants!"

Dr Kozak nearly got killed by one when he was seven, at the zoo, he got lost and accidentally went into an elephant section because he had forgotten his colour blindness glasses at home and therefore couldn't really see anything properly.

Soon after, before he knew it, he came across an elephant, who nearly stepped on him had Demetrius not run away on time, crying his eyes out because he was only seven.

Since then, and it hadn't stopped, Dr Kozak had been scared of elephants for nearly 30 years, and wouldn't stop ever, No matter what had happened, no change of mind or heart there.

Ezekiel just started hyperventilating uncontrollably, then before Dr Kozak knew it, he started to completely take control of the car.

"Make a U-Turn, Demetrius," he commanded to Dr Kozak, who just stared at Agent Ezekiel as if he was crazy.

"But I've tried that already, Ezekiel! What if the elephant-"

"No times for questions Demetrius, just make a flipping U-Turn!" Agent Ezekiel shouted at Dr Kozak, using his car to make a U turn, seven in a row actually, almost crashing into fourteen cars.

In one out of seven U turns.

Kieran in the meantime, was just enjoying everything at the back, eating popcorn, as though he was at a cinema, not realising that they had almost frantically been chased by an elephant.

Soon after, before Ezekiel or Demetrius knew it, they soon almost fell off a bridge due to Dr Kozak's reckless driving, although on the bright side...

They didn't fall of the bridge, and they had gotten rid of the elephant completely!

Or so they all thought anyway...
