Charlie’s car takes off on the main road and I push my legs to go faster.

I remain on the sidewalk hoping to all things holy no one will be out this late taking a stroll. I’ve got to be able to go fast enough to keep my eyes on the taillights. I have no clue where they’re meet up location is.

He turns left on the first street and I speed up. I don’t see a large tree branch that has fallen on the sidewalk. I hit it hard. My front wheels shift, and my bike begins to turn.

Oh, hell no. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

I counter the weight and push harder as the taillights get out of sight for a moment. Once I have the bike balanced again, I pedal harder and catch the glow of Charlie’s lights once more.

The uneven ground causes havoc on my speed as I go up and down hills. As I coast down a hill, a child’s wagon is on the walkway. I’m barreling down on it and catch sight of it right before I hit it. At the last second, I turn the handles on my bike hard, trying to miss the wagon. Due to the sharp turn, my bike turns over and I fall on the grass with my bike on top of me.

No, this can’t be happening. The taillights fade from sight and I scramble back on my feet. As I lift my bike upright, someone rolls up on a bike behind me and stops. Good thing I have ninja skills. Okay, maybe not ninja, but I can kick ass. I spin around ready to kick whoever’s feet out from underneath them.

“Why am I not surprised?” Christina’s voice is filled with disappointment.

Shit, I’ve been caught red-handed. I stand up but refuse to drop my gaze like I’ve done anything I should feel guilty about. “Hey, I told you why I needed this. Are you coming or not?”

“Yes, I’m coming.” She shakes her head, her dark hair blending in with the night. “That’s what best friends are for. Just get on the damn bike and let’s go.”

Yikes, she’s right. We need to hurry. I lift the bike up, glad all I got was a skinned knee from my collision with the wagon. Stupid thing. I get back on my bike and we both ride fast, trying to catch back up with my brother. However, there is no luck.

This can’t be. This would be the answer to all my problems. “We have to find him. I need this.”

“Wait,” she calls out and slows down. “I think I know where they might be.”

“That’s what I want to hear.” I slow down and turn toward her. “Where do you think they are?”

“Well, we’re heading toward the mansion.” She looks at the roads. “So, I’m guessing that’s where they’re heading; to gather and discuss the situation prior to transporting.”

Holy shit. She’s right. That makes perfect sense, especially if her parents are involved. “Yeah, I bet they are.
