"Oh shoot," that was exhausting, said Noah huffing and puffing.
"Shut up nowah," said Terri.
"Yeah and we should probably get the heck out of here," Brush said
Everyone agreed, and ran down the hall, got Jon in a carrier grabbed Mr. Powers, him being a good friend of theirs, and as they said, got the heck out of there.
"Where are we going?" Asked Powers.
"Anywhere but here," Said Brush.
"We should get something to eat!" Jack suggested.
"Slow down, do we have any money?" Powers asked.
"We could head over to Broken Bow and get something at NGTNEats, Mr. Pino knows us well and probably happy for a discount," Said Noah, content with his idea.
"Yeah!" Terri exclaimed.
"Is that okay, Jon?" Powers asked Jon.
Jon, still halfway conscious, grunted in agreement. They drove over to Broken Bow, to a little restaurant called NGTNEats where the Owner Mr. Pino, a fellow member of MANKI owns the shop and is famous for his Reuben sandwich. Mr. Pino said he knew of what had happened and was very sorry.
"Geez, news spreads like wildfire," Noah said.
"Where are you guys heading?" Mr. Pino asked.
"Somewhere, somewhere to find out what happened with Jon, and to escape from that hospital," Brush said.
"Well, I can supply you with some money for the road," Mr. Pino declared
"Oh, that won't be necessary," Mr. Powers said, getting out of the car.
"I have a feeling, this is going to be a long journey," Mr. Pino stretching the o in "long" for exaggerated effect.
Mr. Pino, of course, knew they would be on a long journey as part of MANKI. After a while of suspicious consideration, Mr. Pino gave them a generous five-thousand dollars and some lunch. Mr. Pino also sent along one of MANKI's new recruits, -which was one of his employees- Draven to go with them and to secretly document the situation. They started heading to New York because that's where Jon thought that Reggie was, even though that is just where his friend, Joey lives.
Draven was a simi-short guy with dark brown curly hair, who avoided Jon for some reason.
So a bunch of teens and an infant hopped in the back of a station wagon and headed down I-35, what a great idea.
"Jon, any idea on what happened to your parents?" Powers asked.
"Dead" Jon muttered, and the whole "excited" environment froze.
"Is that why we couldn't find them anywhere?" Noah asked
"they took 'em too" Jon mumbled in pain.
"Who's 'em?" Jack asked.
"fat guy," Terri said.
"Oh yeah, whoever that guy that wanted to kill us was, probably didn't like Jon or his family. And had something to do with Jon's parents," Noah said.
"We're almost out of gas guys, better get some," Powers pointed out.
" Yeah, actually my Dad is part of like a really big gas industry, he gets 20 gallons of gas for free in a week, he also gets two of those. He doesn't expect me to earn much money, as you might imagine, so I got the other one," right as Jack said that, most of the tenseness of the car was releived. And then all the relief was gone after what they thought was a bump in the road.
"Woah there," Noah said.
"That's odd, I didn't see anything around except those two rednecks by that beat up pickup truck" Powers
"Sketchy," Terri said.
"Now let's not jump to conclusions, just because some weird stuff happened doesn't mean there's some kind of secret organization out there trying to stop everything was trying to do," Powers said. The car then abruptly swerved into a gas station ironically called Secret Organi Gas Station. Everyone hopped out to get a breath of fresh air, except Jon, of course, who just rolled down the windows. Then Jack, being the money saver that he is, went in and started getting a drink. The owner of the store, being a member of RAMANKI, had poisoned the cookies(their best selling food) because what the group had thought the bump was, was actually a tracking chip to tell all of RAMANKI of their whereabouts. Everyone was looking for Jack, so Noah went in and asked him what he was doing.
"Come on Daniels, we don't have any money to use on sodas," Noah said,
"That's okay, Jack, you can have that for free, and heck, have a cookie while you're at it," The employee said.
"Thanks!" Noah said, rushing Jack out of there.
"He knew your name!" Noah said.
Jack's eyes widened, "He did!"
Everyone got in the car.
"Oliver, about what you said, guys, the guy in there, knew my name," Jack said, and the tenseness returned.
"Sketchy" Terri said.
"And I have a feeling that those rednecks were there for a reason," Brush said.
"We have to be suspicious," Powers said as smacking Jack's cookie out of his hand.
"A hitchhiker!" Jack said,
"Suspicious" Terri exclaimed.
The group pulled over and let the Blonde haired dude into the car. He said his name is Javier Zemiremar and his brother Robecca. They said they were stranded and they were just getting some Hawaiian food and their friends kicked them out. They "believed" them and let them in, giving the the car was already packed, the made them pay a twenty dollar admission fee.
"Hop on the bandwagon" , Everyone said.
