BXBX NOVEL Chapter 106
As we all stood there and looked around, it seemed like this parking lot was mostly used by food trucks or something. I’m not sure but, but it looked like the garage was open at the moment, which meant that we could go inside and use it for the night or something.
And that’s exactly what we did.
***
To be honest with you, I’m not sure if I slept in the car, or if I dropped to the floor and got knocked out, because when I woke up, my neck hurt. It felt as if something just snapped in my neck as if my body couldn’t support my head anymore or something. Whatever it was, it hurt, and my neck was stiff as a board when I woke up, which was strange because I always wake up feeling refreshed after sleeping in a car or something similar.
I looked around, seeing all the slumbered bodies around me before I turned my attention towards the window and saw that it was daylight outside of it, but no sunlight came inside of it, so it must have been nighttime. I sighed and rubbed my eyes before sitting up slowly and stretching my arms over my head as I looked around the car and saw that everyone else was still asleep.
How was it that I woke up so much earlier than everyone else?
I looked at the clock on the dashboard of the car and noticed that it was already past noon. So it wasn’t nighttime, in fact it was almost evening time right now. So I guess it must have been a long sleep cycle. I stretched and moved my neck around, trying to ease the pain that I was experiencing.
I looked around the car again before glancing at Nikki as she slept peacefully with her head tilted back and her mouth hanging out. Wow, she looks so peaceful as she slept with her eyes closed and her lips were slightly parted and her brown hair spread across her face like silk.
.....
It seems like everyone was really exhausted last night from all the adrenaline and running around trying to escape those agents, so they needed a long sleep cycle like me. But then why was I the only one awake right now? It was almost like I got lucky this time by getting an early start on everyone else’s sleep cycle as if they were giving me the last day of vacation instead of them, which made me feel like a kid about to start school again after summer break as I sighed in relief and sat up slowly as I rubbed my eyes once again.
I looked around the car again to make sure no one else was awake and I could go out for a little bit to get some air before getting back into the car.
As I got out, I looked around, seeing the bright sun shining above me and seeing how everything seemed so clean here. I’m sure that there was probably some graffiti here somewhere, but it seemed like it was kept clean and maintained as well as the trash cans lined up next to the wagons at the side of the road that you could see off in the distance.
I looked down the road that I was standing on and saw it was a main road as people drove down it quickly while others walked down it.
Only if I had a life like them. It was definitely a mistake joining the YMPA, it’s tiring to always be on guard 24/7 and trying to avoid getting killed by someone like those guys, but then again, I guess I’ll take this over starving to death right now, and getting shot in the eardrum with a rubber bullet, or getting my hand chopped off with a chain saw while trying to run away.
I sighed as I turned my gaze away from the people walking down the road and looked up towards the sky.
It was beautiful.
It really was. It was so clear and blue with a few puffy clouds in the sky that were white. They looked so serene and peaceful as if they weren’t bothered by anything or anybody. I wish I could be like them, I wish I could be peaceful and calm like them as I breathed in deeply through my nose and let out a sigh.
I took another deep breath as I felt the cool breeze touch my face as it felt refreshing as vines from the trees on the sides of the road waved slowly in the wind.
I love how things look so natural and pure like this as if no one ever tainted nature at all.
All of a sudden, I heard someone say “Wow.” Fear pounced into my heart as I looked beside, me seeing Tisiah staring qiuckly at me while he looked up at the sky with wonder written all over his face as he continued to look at the sky as he muttered, “Wow.”
“Yeah...wow,” I muttered a little bit, just agreeing with him as I turned my attention back to the sky as well. I closed my eyes slowly as I felt the warmth of the sun touching my face as the cool wind touched my body as well as my cheeks.
I wish that life could be like this forever and ever, but who knows.
As I opened my eyes back up, I looked down at Tisiah as he smiled brightly at me, causing his teeth to shine like light. “Anyways, Nikki booked us a flight to Russia,” Tisiah said as he took his phone out of his pocket and showed it to me. “It leaves in about three hours.”
I stuttered in shock. “Well that means we have to leave quickly!” I gushed in excitement.
Tisiah nodded his head while looking up at the sky. “Yeah, I know,” he said calmly before putting his phone back into his pocket and looking back at me with a smile on his face. “We’re waiting for you, ya know.”
“Oh.”
Quickly I rushed inside of the garage and went inside of the vehicle where everyone was at, and once I took a seat, Cybertron turned his head towards me slyly and asked, “You okay?”
“Yeah,” I responded as I looked up at the ceiling of the garage with my eyes half open as I sighed softly. “Perhaps.”

We arrived at the airport, and it was quite something to see. It wasn’t all that special of course because I had seen a lot of airports before but, it was still interesting because it was just so different from what you would see in America or Europe for that matter. There was a row of parked cars on the left side of the road leading up to the airport that seemed to be used for parking the people who were flying out or flying into Russia, or something similar to that.
“Okay, here we are,” September said, getting out of the vehicle as we all followed her out of the vehicle. We all looked around and saw a man who was wearing a black hat with an emblem on it that said ‘Airport’ on it as he looked at us with a smile.
Weird.
“Alright, let’s move,” September said. “And let’s hope we don’t find ourselves in the same situation as last time.” We nodded our heads as we walked alongside her and went inside of the airport building to find a place to sit down and wait for our flight to leave. We entered the first floor, with people with luggages and carry-ons infecting the area as people tried to get places quickly before they were all too crowded and stuffy.
“This is gonna be really uncomfortable,” Greg complained as we walked slowly through the crowd of people who were rushing around us to get to their gate or whatever it was called here, and then we finally found an open spot on the first floor where we sat down with a large crowd of people around us, some even sitting on top of each other just to save a spot for themselves as they smiled at us as if they wanted us to sit there too.
“I think we’re at the right gate,” Nikki said. “They said like E4 right?”
“I’m pretty sure,” Vicki said.
I looked up towards the ceiling to see if there was any signs above us as there weren’t any, but then again, I didn’t know what they looked like for international airports here either so, but I figured maybe they were somewhere else or something. “So far, no sign of any...” Tisiah said, as his eyes widened.
I looked at him and soon enough, everyone looked at him.
“What?” I asked.
