Liam didn't know where he would go next, his home was gone and his entire life had been compromised. His parents were dead and he had no other family to take him in, and even if he did the BMH would probably kill or hurt them. He was a stray, a wild dog not knowing what to do without an owner. His bike cruised down the motorway whilst he kept looking around for hints on what to do next. As his journey progressed he had time to think about his next move, however a chill ran down his spine as he swerved around a truck. Behind him there was a black car, it was a normal car however the people inside were nowhere near what you would call normal. Each was wearing a black suit with a tie and had a pair of glasses covering their eyes. The driver noticed that Liam had seen them and started to pick up the pace. Liam knew instantly he had been followed.
Liam merged with the clothes from the B.M. that he was wearing and felt them almost tighten around. He guessed that meant something had happened. He then merged with his bike helmet which he had made himself, it gave enhanced vision as well as it having the inside of a fighter pilot helmet. He pinpointed a smaller car and merged with the laser watch, he pointed at the tyre of the car to bring it to a stop in front of the two agents. As the agents dodged and swerved vehicles Liam saw an exit and pulled off onto a smaller country road. The road was thin and perfect for him to escape through, close behind was the black car still managing to keep up with Liam. However what they didn't know was that up ahead were a set a traffic lights. A perfect opportunity for Liam.
Liam grinned and merged with the traffic light, he set it to red just as he passed it and cars began to come from other roads. The agents came to a halt and Liam carried on down the lane taking a few turns to avoid them catching up with him again. Liam was glad he had escaped however he knew he couldn't live like this for the rest of his life. He had to do something about the BMH.
