Odd Day Out

Date: 6/21/2016

I am dribbling a basketball and look up, my brother is standing in front of me trying to steal for the game winning shot, but before he can I step back and jump shooting for a three. I miss and the ball circles the hoop before falling off the side. I make a pouty face before my head darts in the direction of the street. Wheels squealing to a stop against the pavement as four men dressed in black suits jump out aiming us down with their assault rifles. As one fires the others follow suit and my brother and I duck running towards the back of the house clearing the tall wood fence with ease. "Who the hell are they?" My brother ask me and I shake my head as we both reach into our waist bands and pull out pistols and shrug. As their footsteps get close to the fence we run towards the back of the yard and hop over a much smaller chain link fence. " I assumed you were having a get together. We know how you like to start with a bang." He laughs at my joke and we make it to the main street which used to be in the suburbs, but now had turned into a city street underneath the Freemont Bridge in Seattle, Washington. I laugh and look at the Freemont troll that is holding an old Volkswagen Bug under one hand. Though it isn't the time nor the place I laugh again. My brother looked at me and raised his brows. "Sorry. I just thought I would have come to see the troll under the bridge under other circumstances." As we bolted to the bug I took a quick glance around. The suits speeding in our direction. My brother lifted the trunk and pulled a smoke bomb from a secret compartment tossing it in their direction. Within a moment smoke clouded the whole street and my brother grabbed me throwing me in the trunk telling me to crawl towards the back. As I did He climbed in behind me and shoved me. "Move Now!" I continued to move towards the back which popped open and let down into a short tunnel which then dropped into sewer beneath the street. Once in the sewer. We hear them yelling. "They got away sir." "No. we didn't see which direction they went. Smoke bombs sir." "Okay. We are out. ETA twenty five minutes." With that they were off and my brother and I ran down the sewer taking a turn here and another there then came up out of another sewer which on the outside looked much like a large freezer that sat out alongside a mini mart. We waited for some time and when we were sure the suits were gone we hopped out of the freezer and made our way home. We arrive as my boyfriend pulls into the parking lot and climbs out of his car. He gives me a kiss and looks us over before asking if we went out to enjoy nature. We laugh and I tell him we should take the kids to go see the troll under the Freemont Bridge sometime and he agrees saying maybe this weekend.
