Chapter Fifteen

A ride in a Police car

I checked my watch again for the time. Perfect, it was 4.12pm right on schedule. Scott looked over at me once we had started driving away. He was mouthing something. I could not work out what he was trying to say until he gave up and just ended up pulling the seat belt over my shoulder.

He then whispered into my ear. “You are in a police car, make it click.” he did make a valid point. “Oh, Scott what would I do without you?” I replied.

“I dare to think” he laughed.

It did feel strange to be travelling with no bags, no money, and no clothes. We were indeed travelling very light and at the same time I felt very uneasy with being not in control of anything. We had our tickets and our ride to the airport so if all goes to plan we will not be needing any money until we got home.

With just over an hour before we would arrive in Cairns, I decided to snuggle up against Scott's Chest and get a bit of sleep while Scott and Harvey talked about the history of Bibroohra, politics, and world events. Enough to put anyone to sleep. Had they talked about ‘Outlander’ or the latest Scottish news I would have been wide awake.

I awoke to the sound of the car engine slowing down as we approached the many set of traffic lights in Cairns. As I open my eyes and saw the lights of this city a feeling of relief flooded over me. We were indeed now on the home stretch. Still far too soon to say it out loud though.

I looked down at my watch, however it was dark outside now and I could no longer see the face of my watch. Scott saw me trying to read the time in the dark with great difficulty so came to the rescue and looked on his phone. “We are cutting it pretty fine,” he said, “we are going to have to run to our boarding gate.” The fact we were dressed like we had time travelled from the 1700s had actually slipped our minds. We were only focusing on one thing and one thing only and that was to make our flight.

Traffic through the city was slow and I could feel myself growing annoyed as each second passed. The airport was situated on the other side of the city a bit further out. “Harvey, do you think this situation can be classed as an emergency, any chance we can flick the siren on?” I asked desperately.

Harvey must've picked up on my desperate tone and agreed. “Oh, go on then.” He said. Within seconds we were zooming through the traffic, cars all moving aside for us to get through. Scott laughed.

“Aye talk about VIP treatment.” he said.

“Well we are Jamie and Claire for the night are we not?” I replied. By my calculations, the flight had already started to board and we were still a good five minutes away.
