STATIC COLLISION

Jisoo was relentless however. "Arresto Momentum!" she yelled and throw her hand back and then forward with all her might, casting the spell to the direction of the pursuing Death Eaters. She had managed to hit the broom of one, slowing him down in the process.

"Lacarnum Inflamarae!" the other Death Eaters hissed loudly. They were just a few feet away from Jisoo and Johnny now.

As the orange light of the spell hurtled towards Jisoo, Johnny pulled her back and they both crouched down as the spell missed them by less than an inch. The flames morphed into a fireball and landed just a few meters away. Jisoo looked at Johnny and he squeezed her hand, "We have to go."

And without warning, he apparated them out to escape.

They fell into Johnny's dimly lit motel room. Jisoo landed on the carpeted floor on her buttocks, her head dizzy from the sudden squeeze through the vacuum of space. She clutched on to the side of her head and tried to will the dizziness away. "Warn me when we're apparating next time." She snapped at Johnny.

"I did," he grunted in reply. They both knew that was a lie but the situation was out of their control, they would have lost and gotten killed back there for sure if Johnny hadn't acted as quick as he did. If anything, Jisoo should have been grateful but there's too much pride in her to admit that.

They both stood up from the floor and Johnny walked swiftly towards the bedside table and grabbed what looked like his ashtray. He clicked his tongue in disappointment and turned back to Jisoo. "We missed the portkey."

Jisoo dusted off the dirt from her clothes and looked at him. "But you do know where he is, right?"

"I do, but it's in the other side of the country." He put the ashtray down the table and raked a hand through his dark locks, sighing. "It'll be too taxing to apparate and it'll take much longer to get there if we fly by broom that's why I was given a portkey the moment I was tipped."

"Well, we have to try." The two of them stood there, looking at each other as if the other had the right answer to their little problem at hand.

Johnny cocked an eyebrow at her. "I just said it's too taxing and you've just gotten out of the hospital, you're in no shape for such a long distance travel. You'll need your full strength once we get there, when we finish him off." His voice sounded firm.

"I'm fine." Jisoo glared at him. "And we don't have a choice but to keep moving. Death Eaters were already waiting for me at my home, they're probably tracking my whereabouts right now." This worried her because she was already preoccupied on her mission with Taehyung, but she had to deal with Death Eaters trying to slow down her progress too? She couldn't handle that all at once.

Johnny's expression isn't so good, he looks almost concerned. She wondered when he had started being loyal to their deal. Don't get her wrong, she's internally grateful that he's agreeing to it for this long (though, she'd have to hex herself if he ever heard her saying that out loud) but she just can't shake off this intuition in her that there's another reason why he agreed so breezily to their deal in the first place.
