As Alex was off the car, he made a run towards the deeper parts of the city, in a more crowded place.
His face was covered with a mask and he also wore a hoodie to cover himself up as much as possible.
Alex ensured to hide from the chopper by sticking as close as possible to the walls and pillars on the highway. He then made his way down and towards the places with more buildings.
As Alex managed to get away from the highway and jumped on a new road, he heard sirens of police cars closing in on him.
Clicking his tongue, Alex ran at full speed at the nearest shop or building he could find.
Three minutes later, he reached the parking lot of a nearby fast food restaurant.
There were cars and bikes parked there and knowing how stupid it would be to steal a car, Alex went towards a bike and hopped on it.
As he did that and twisted the bike handle, he realized, "the handle is locked."
Alex got down and went to another bike.
This time he twisted it and surprisingly, the handle wasn't locked.
However, there was another problem.
"Argh… this isn't a game, I can't just hop on a bike and expect it to start."
Due to the adrenaline rush, Alex's brain was just making him do all possible things to get out of this situation as fast as possible, causing him to make some stupid decisions at times.
Alex took a deep breath and thought, 'calm down, you can't get things done with a hot head.'
Sitting on the bike and taking deep breaths, Alex finally felt a little bit calm.
"If I don't have a key, I can just search online how to start a bike without a key," thought Alex with a smile.
He searched his pocket to take his phone out and search things online, but as he reached his pocket, he realized he didn't have it.
'Fuck! I gave it to Arl!' Thought Alex as he smiled while his lips twitched.
He immediately got off the bike and made way towards the fast food restaurant.
He took the hood off to not look sketchy and fixed his appearance a bit.
His mask stayed on and as he went inside the restaurant, he did some light coughs here and there to make it seem like he was sick.
Going to the cashier, Alex ordered some food and while he was waiting, asked where the washroom was and went in there.
There was only one washroom and thankfully it seemed like someone was in there.
As the door unlocked the person came outside, Alex saw it was a guy.
It was a good thing for Alex as he could wear his clothes.
Alex knocked the guy out before he walked too far away and took him back inside the washroom.
He swapped his hoodie with his blue shirt and then also had him wear a mask.
Alex then held the guy's ankles and had him hang upside down for a few seconds, to let the blood rush towards his brain and have him get conscious again quickly.
If the national medical board were to know a doctor was doing such malpractices, they would terminate Alex's license immediately.
Thankfully there was no one watching what Alex was doing.
Except Gods, of course.
Alex got out of the washroom as soon as he could and went to collect his order.
There were no employees watching who was taking whose order as it all worked based on the bill slips.
There was the order number written on the bill slip and the same was placed on each tray with food.
Alex took his order and searched for a spot to sit.
His gaze fell on a blonde-haired woman in her early 30s sitting alone. He found her to be the perfect person to sit with and made his way towards her.
"Excuse me, miss. Is this chair empty?" Alex asked politely.
The woman, looking at Alex, was surprised that he approached her and asked her this.
"Yes?" She replied without thinking much as she got lost looking at Alex's charismatic appearance for a second.
"Mind if I sit here?" Alex asked again.
The woman snapped out of her thoughts and not showing much enthusiasm on her face, simply nodded her head.
Internally she was really surprised someone this young would even want to approach her.
Alex smiled at her and sat in front of her.
He took a sip of his cola and said with a sigh, "it's so crowded here and I couldn't get a place to sit and eat alone. Thank you for letting me."
The woman smiled. "No worries."
Alex's charisma was top notch and the ones weaker to such looks were older women.
Alex only sat with this lady here because he could get a few things done as quickly as possible before the guy from the bathroom or the police came looking for trouble.
Alex ate a few fries and the lady sipped on her hot coffee and got busy with her phone.
Looking at her, Alex said, "hey, miss. Can I ask you something?"
"Yes?" The lady looked at Alex.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "Actually, I live downtown and came to this place with my friends. I got separated from them and since I felt hungry, I came here. That's pretty much my situation." Alex tried to make up an excuse.
He then continued, "What I want to ask is, can you please book me a taxi? Don't worry, I have my cards with me, please use them. You don't have to pay."
The woman chuckled. "Why do you sound so afraid of asking for help? I am not going to eat you, relax."
Alex could only smile awkwardly.
The lady then said with a smile, "also, you're in luck it seems. I am travelling downtown as well. I'll give you a ride if you want."
"Oh, really? That's so sweet of you." Alex said politely.
The lady nodded. "Then we'll leave when you're done."
Alex got up hearing that. He held the burger, fries, and cola in his hand and said, "let's go."
"What's the rush?" The lady asked, curious.
"I was supposed to be back before seven, it's already six. If we don't hurry now, I am sure to get a good scolding from my parents." Alex made up some more excuses.
The woman laughed hearing that. "Right, right."
With how charismatic Alex looked, the woman forgot for a second that he was still a youngster.
With this kind lady, Alex got out of the burger joint and went to her car.
Once he got into the car with her and got moving, he would lose the police and have the quest be completed.
To his surprise, this lady's car was an expensive Mercedes-Benz AMG, a top of the line sports car from the German automobile brand.
"Get in," the lady said as she hopped into her car.
Getting inside, Alex was surprised that this car was in the parking lot as well.
It was a black car and blended in with the others, thus Alex didn't have a look at it.
Not to mention, they were in the outskirts of Austin, far from the city center. He totally didn't expect this car to be here.
Turning to look at the lady, Alex only now analyzed her.
Although she was wearing simple clothes, the look on her face definitely seemed like she was from a well off household.
The lady noticed Alex looking at her and driving out of the parking lot, she asked with a smile, "surprised to find out that a simple looking woman could have such an expensive car?"
Alex nodded. "I won't even deny that. The ones who I've seen have supercars like this, they're usually wearing expensive clothes."
The lady chuckled. "I know. But don't worry, not all wear flashy clothes. Some are normal like me and my family. I have a little sister, she wears even simpler clothes than me. Like usually just camo pants and a tank top."
"Hmm?" Alex was surprised to hear that. "What's your sister's name, if you don't mind me asking."
The lady smiled. "Why? Interested in marrying her?"
The lady was just teasing Alex.
Alex didn't get teased though. Instead he replied, "Yes, for sure. To be honest, if you say yes, I can even just marry you."
The lady laughed in response. This young boy she met was surely fun.
The lady then looked at Alex and said with a smile, "It's not as fun as you think it is to marry into my family, by the way."
"Why? Are you guys some serial killers?" Alex joked.
The lady smiled. "Opposite of it. We're a strictly military oriented family. Do you wanna know who I am?"
Alex nodded. It wouldn't hurt to know who she was.
The lady looked at the side to see Alex and said with a smug face, "The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation."
