Triad Serendipity

”Hurry the ** up, JN! ”

”Cmon, JN! They
e right behind us! ”

”Zip it, lad! Im shot and holey, and you both are piggybacking my back, so of course Im going to be slow! ”

”We
e here, we
e here! Everybody get in the car! ”

I hop on the drivers seat and start the car as quickly as possible. The gigantic and muscly man with a marine crew cut and brown eyes sit at the back of the four-seat sedan. Everyone in this car can absolutely see the gaping hole the size of a ring in his lower right abdomen. Yet, everybody seems to pay absolutely no mind to this abhorrently gruesome view.

”Shit! Shit! Fuck! I can start the car! ” I shouted as I looked out the window to see our chasers. They
e about 100 meters away.

”Can you do anything?! They
e almost here, just start the goddamn car already! ” The lady at the back screamed at me while punching at the back of my seats headrest.

”I can the fuse is all burnt up! ” I said while scrambling around the cables, ”We need to push the car first to get it going! JN, get out and push the car! ”

”Are you crazy?! They have guns, hes been shot, yet you still want this old man to get out there and be shot again?! ”

”Hey, Im not old! Im just well-riped! ”

The girl shouted at me angrily. Meanwhile the man called JN just froze there with his right hand placed on the doorknob. See? Hes about to go out and push the damn car, and we shouldve been well on our way, had it not for this girl thinking about our safety and well-being.

”Then, what the hell am I supposed to do?! I can just unburnt a burnt fuse and magically fix the damn car! ” I shouted back at her, while rummaging around the dashboard to at least find something to use.

”I don know! You
e supposed to be the brain of the group! So use it and get us out of here! ”

”Wait, I know! ” A brilliant idea that will ensure everybodys health just came to my head while punching the steering wheel. ”Adeera, smash the back window open and use your barrier-thingy to repel the car off of that inn! ”

I pointed at the front wall of the inn. The wall looks old but the dim light and the screen at the top of the building make it look futuristic and ancient at the same time.

”Hang on a minute! Ive never tried to push something bigger than myself let alone pushing something as big as a car. ” The girl said that with a doubtful tone in her voice. ”Also, you know damn well its Cuboid not barrier-thingy! ”

I look outside the window and see that our chasers are halfway to our car already. I need to convince this girl to do it now. The gears in my head start turning rapidly. I put my hands on her cheeks, I look at her blue emerald eyes, and I keep our faces as close as possible.

”Dee! ” The surprised and confused look on her face tell me that she never saw this coming. Her face turns red. Though, whether thats because of shyness or anger, we will never know. ”I would never doubt you in my life. I will always believe you with my life, because I know that you have the ability to do what it takes. Can you do it? ”

Her face lit up, the traces of doubt in her face are gone. She looks as confident as she has ever been, and as she ever will. You can even see the moment she gathers her confidence.

That was almost too easy.

”O- Okay. Just let me off already! ” She said meekly.

After that, she starts rolling up her sleeve and she begin to put her right hands palm in the direction of the inn. There is about 20 meters between the car and the inn. She closes her eyes and begins to concentrate.

Suddenly, the rear window shattered as if a hard and solid object just passed right through it. You can see anything coming out of her hand but you can clearly made out that something just crashed into the window. JN closes his ears as the glass scrambles and flies around everywhere. Yet, Adeeras face is as serious as ever been. She didn even flinch when the broken glass scratches her hand and face. All shes thinking about right now is to depart out of here as hastily as possible.

Shes almost done. Shoulder stiffened, face froze, anticipation peaked. No matter how clueless you are, you know that something is about to happen. Something big, something explosive, something violent. You know its about to happen real soon. Its not the matter if it will happen, but when it will happen. And in the middle of all this, suddenly, Adeeras expression changes.
