Chapter 6: The birth of an urban legend

Boobies is staring at me, dumbfounded, with the unconscious old man in her arms.

My epic drift made big tire tracks on the before spotless lobby, and the receptionists seem to have died of heart attacks or are hiding behind their desks maybe.

“Oh, fancy meeting you here.” I say.

I’m not even faking my surprise since from all the people in that hotel room, I expected her to be still alive the least, which is probably mutual.

“Is the old man still breathing? Dashing! Also, hell yeah, we can get on it with three peps, have you never seen those guys in India? They get on with five or six sometimes. Though I’ve never done it before, doesn’t that sound like a funny experience? Hm just a second, let me check something really quick.”

I drive slowly in the lobby, under that girl’s bewildered gaze, until I can clearly see that corridor with the emergency exit at the extremity I took earlier.

Yes… He’s still here…

“Hm listen, it’s not like I committed a crime here or anything but I’d really appreciate it if we could get moving now, especially since the sound of sirens gets closer and closer every minute.”

I can see behind the reception’s desk from my new angle…

“Hey, oh, that wasn’t me-”

“BE QUIET, I’M THINKING!” she finally yells.

“Okay but no need to show off.”

“Abhi, I’ll give her the address- No, don’t worry, it’s not as risky as it sounds like, she’s basically inoffensive. Yes, I know, do you have any better solution? I’ll find a way to come later, the client’s safety is our biggest priority. No, I can’t just kick her out, you know I can’t drive a motorcycle. No, it’s not just a matter of discipline, can you stop speaking for a minute?!”

Damn that sounds complicated in her head… Is that personality disorder?

“Shut up! It was MY hideout and MINE alone before. Remember our deal? I’m still the one giving orders here! The idiot will come with the client so you save him and if anything happens, I’ll take full responsibility, as always. Hey, you shrimp!”

“Yo, what? Be nice to me, I came all the way back to help you.”

“It is your job too! SHUT UP ABHI OR I CUT OUR CALL!”

“Yeah, and? That’s not a reason for being disrespectful, I’ll have you know that-”

“We have no time, please shut up and take the Prince with you! Get him to this address with your motorcycle. There’s my associate waiting for you. He knows exactly what to do when you come so, please, just be quick and when you’re there, wait quietly for me to come back. Don’t talk to him when he’s working and just DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING AT ALL. Actually, it would be best if you could GO AWAY when you’ve safely delivered him. Go eat at a restaurant or go back to your home I don’t know, but please-.”

“You speak too much, Sis. I’ll handle my mission with care and finesse, don’t worry about it. But I have no money for the restaurant, and going back home is a no-go so I’ll just hang around.” I say while taking the old man and having him sit in front of me.

Easier said than done, it is pretty hard to see the road since he’s taller than me…

“A-are you really going to be okay?” she asks in panic, while the sound of sirens got so close, they’re ringing right outside the hotel.

“Guess it’s time for the grand escape!”

I turn the accelerator a few times in the air before rushing out like in cool movies.

A few firefighter trucks are just setting up their things while I blow my way out in the same explosive way I got in.

In a sparkling cloud of broken glass, I klaxon so they make room for me.

The sirens are blowing loudly in my ears and panic rises quickly in front of me.

While the trucks try to block my way, I ride in a vehicle corridor they have left empty on the side. Empty of obstacles but not empty of humans, who run, jump and roll away to avoid the crazy race.

“If only you were a few centimeters shorter, old man… You’re making your own saving difficult.”

I finally find a way to look at the road by moving his body’s weight a bit and putting his right arm above my shoulders, so my head can fit in.

We look extremely ridiculous, I hope I’ll meet no police control tonight. We aren’t even wearing helmets.

Riding full speed on the highway, I slalom between the cars’ lights and disappear toward the hideout.

That being said, if anyone we crossed paid close attention to us, they probably witnessed the birth of a new urban legend.

“You’re going to regret that.”

“Maybe.”

As I watch her disappear in a thunderous light and sound show, I remember the police is coming so I need to fuck off too.

Finally free from the old man’s burden, I run swiftly in the corridors to find the emergency exit.

What the…

There’s a dude’s butchered body lying in front of it.

My curiosity gets the better of me and I stop to look at it.

They didn’t leave him any chance… Ew the balls too, such a savage way to kill.

Four hits: Throat, testicles, heart, temple. Masterful precision and speed. He died in seconds.

His body is still warm and it hasn’t lost its colors, so he must have died not too long ago. But who could have done that?

The image of that girl who disappeared before the explosion and miraculously came back last minute to take the client away flashes in my mind.

No way…

What if I totally misinterpreted her? This knife ability isn’t the one of someone inoffensive.

Fuck! I’m so stupid!

If she baited us into thinking she was an idiot but actually has set up the bomb in that hotel room before leaving and counted on a skilled bodyguard from the agency to save the client in extremis, then she would have a dying old man worth millions between her hands, and I just fell into her trap!

“What’s taking you so long to leave?”

“Abhi, you might be right, I made a huge mistake.”

“Eh, called it.”

“Don’t expect anyone to come tonight, this mission is a failure. She’s probably taking him to her own hideout right now and will dispose of him in the next hours.”

“I suppose that things like that happen, don’t be too harsh on yourself. There will be other missions. Head home promptly, though, if you take more time, you will truly be in trouble and there will be no next time. Your next vehicle is waiting for you at that point.”

I take a deep breath and get moving.

Indeed, I see outside a bunch of armed forces’ professionals with helmets and shields. They probably called the anti-terror brigades.

But they are badly covering the perimeter and I avoid them without panicking even though they see me and start yelling in my direction.

“Thanks for the support, Abhi. I’m heading home.”

A few meters away from the tower, lay the decks I saw from the top.

I jump with all my convictions onto a motorboat waiting for me and start the engine, my vehicle of predilection.

The whole city is built around a river and scattered with multiple canals that I have a perfect mental map of.

“No worries, Schwa, I prepared cocoa milk for you.”

I smile and push the accelerator.

With the foam sparkling around my way like a thousand stars, I shine elegantly above the shore, proud as the moon.

“So why didn’t we use this way to carry the Prince?”

…

“Abhi...?”

…

“Well, fuck it.”

The brat probably went to play video games.

The thought of cocoa milk made me lose all worry.
