Miles Per Hour 2

Mansion Down

"What Chris?! What's wrong." I say looking straight at Sean's eyes, but he looks away. Great, when will I have time to explain to him what happened in the kitchen. I feel nothing for Rob, only gratitude.

"Alice. She doesn't respond. He has her." Chris says and I close my eyes in pain. Shit, not Alice.

"Where are you?" I ask him and he tells me he is hiding in some room, and that Maggie and Melvin are with him. I tell him to meet me in the front of the house, where the stairs are.

"Are you crazy? That's where all the security is." Melvin says through the device.

"Don't you see this is a trap from Ralph." I say desperate. "Do what I say okay."

"It's true." Sean says and I feel bit better as he agrees with me. The crew agrees on my plan." You guys be careful, watch out for cameras." Sean says pressing his ear device. Oh, so Simmons brought him here.

"Sean?" Melvin says confused.

"Yes its me. But let's go guys. Hurry." Sean says. He looks so grown now that I get to see him closely. With his tuxedo and all. I want to hug him, to kiss him right now. But the thought of Alice being under Ralph's hands, infuriates me. Rob and I take off our submachine guns and leave them in the bathroom. He hands me one of his clock guns.

"I really want to kill him." I say as we run out the bathroom and reach Chris, Maggie and Melvin. We togther just walk towards the entrance of the house. The alarm has stopped ringing and no gunshots are heard.

There we find Ralph with some guards and Alice, covered in blood. I start to run to her but one of the guards stop me.

"Let her go!" Chris says and a guard stops him as well.

"Oh look who showed up late to the party." Ralphs says to us. He claps while he laughs. "You really thought you were stronger than me." I stand back and hold Chris's hand. "Especially you Rosie..and you, Chris. I gave you everything. You were my favorite, even out of all my sons and this is how you pay-"

"You gave me what I wanted not what I needed." Chris spits. I hold his hand tighter. "You never gave me love Ralph and you never told me what truly happened to mom."

"Your mom deserved what she needed for being an intruder to the family." Ralph says. It takes everything of me not to run up to his face and kill him, right now."And I see her kids are the same way..."

"You have run out of time Ralph." I ignore his comment and instead I mock him. "You are trapped."

"I will never be trapped sweetie. Jail was not made for me-" He gets interrupted by Sasha, walking in from the back patio with a gun in her hand. She lifts her dress from one side as she keeps walking to join us.

"But hell was." She says and all the guards face her with their guns. We all take out our clock guns as we aim for the guards.

"You?" Ralphs looks back surprised.

"Looks like the jokes on you." Sasha says. Then I hear Simmons finally communicating with us through the ear device.

"Sir, they have someone on their transmission." The guard that has Alice says. He has her ear device plugged into his. Ralph takes the device and listens closely. We hear everything Simmons is saying as well through our own device.

"Hello Ralph. This is the CIA and FBI. Let the kids go, and we will retreat from your house. Yes, look outside you house.." Ralphs asks a guard to look out the window and the guard nods. Looks like the FBI has surrounded the area completely. "Like I said, let them go, and this will all come to a conclusion."

"I don't trust you." Ralph says turning around and looking at us as we still have our guns pointed. I change directions and instead aim for Ralph. He looks at me and gives me a malevolent grin as he listens to what Simmons is saying.

"Rosie what are you doing?" Sean whispers and I don't care. I want to kill this man who has brought all this malice to the world.

"And obviously we don't trust you, so that's why on my signal you will either leave out your house and leave the kids, or we enter and capture you." Simmons continues.

Alice looks up to us and mouths 'run' and taps her wrist. That means run on Simmons mark. I remember when we came up with all this code language back in Spain. We were driving on the black bird...It's this what is like when you are about to die, you remember all the good times like you lived them the day before? But I won't die because I need to save Alice and find what happened to mom first.

Ralph orders the guard to push Alice out of his way as he listens closely to Simmons. I drop my aim as Chris and I run to grab her.

"I'm fine." Alice says standing up and fixing herself even though she has bruises and all this blood on her. She quickly stands behinds Chris.

"Three." Simmons begins his countdown. The FBI is ready to barge in, they tricked Ralph." ....two.." We all are ready to run out to the patio. The end of the race is near. Ralph just stands there, he looks nonchalant as he grabs his gun and looks around. He orders his men to drop their weapons. I get ready to run at more than 100 miles per hour.

"One.." Simmons says and Ralph runs to reach the stairs. The FBI barges in. We run forward past Sasha, I am about to grab her hand... but then everything happens too quickly...

"Rosie watch out!!!" I hear Sasha scream. Two shots go off . And by the time I notice what happened, she is on the floor, covered in a pool of blood. Her white dress, stained with red. I hear no sound..I know there is shooting going back and forth between the FBI and the guards but I don't hear it. I kneel to the ground and hold Sasha. I scream. "No!" I refuse to believe this. This is not happening.

Ralph shot her in the back, two times. He was going to shoot me, but she ran and saved me. I know I'm crying, but I feel like I have no reaction. Maggie kneels next to me and I hear her telling me we have to go.

"Rosie. Come on let's go." I hear Sean's voice in the distance as well.

"We have to go." A crying Chris says. I stand up and I feel everything in slow motion, like I am lucid dreaming. Wait? Am I dreaming?

I know I'm running, but again, I don't feel it. I don't feel when we aboard the helicopter, when we fly up high into the sky, watching Ralph's mansion get demolished into pieces. He is captured now, I hear Simmons telling us. He is captured and killed. Ralph knew he was going to die, that's why he tried to get rid of me first. Maybe he should've ... How will I live knowing I killed so many people today, especially Sasha...I killed her it was me. I should have died today, not her. And that's when I reached the ending of the race, but I didn't cross the finish line because all my engines died before the race was over...
