Alexis is so cute! ^^

Thanks everyone, and yeah, the top is one of my favourites too. ^^ Also, I got her hair from here. :')

Lovely sims, Ghen, especially Comet is very pretty. ^^

Here's my newest, Sarah.

Very cool so far! ^^

It's awesome! Brilliant picture-taking and writing. :')

Amazing! Thanks. :')

These look great, thanks!

They look great! Thanks. ^^

Sure, why'd they even try to get us a decent patch?

Anyway, other than the fact it reset the game, the patch is working fine for me.

Lol, where's my banana? xD

I've downloaded this from Modthesims2 long ago, and I just realised I never thanked you. xD

So thanks, this truly is amazing. :')

I really like this. Putting the house on fire would be something my sims could do.

I'm hooked. Awesome job! :'D

All my characters are crazy mad. Might've something to do with the writer being crazy mad too. xD

Chapter 10 already... Just telling you, there are 13 chapters and an epilogue. :')

Chapter Ten – Call at 3:34



3:33.
3.34.

I was staring at the clock, counting the seconds to see whether it was really as accurate as Alex said.
“Hah,” I muttered.
“What?” Alex drove the car into a forest.
“Your clock isn’t that accurate. It is already 3.34 for ten seconds.” Alex rolled his eyes. At the very moment his cellphone ringed, causing us both to gasp in surprise.
"Will you take that?"



I nodded and picked the thing up. The person at the other side of the line started to scream immediately.
“Are you mad? Helping a murderer escape! This will cost you your career! You’ll go to prison!” I frowned, and moved my hand a bit away from my ear, waiting for the man to stop screaming.
“Steam,” Alex explained. Steam continued yelling.
“If you bring her back now we might be able to keep you out of prison!”
“Sorry, I’m not interested.”  I answered. “Excuse me, but I’m not bringing her back.” Alex grimaced at the word her. I ended the conversation.



“Did you really have to do that?”
“Well, actually...” Alex sighed.
“Brilliant. I’m already losing my job, and now you make me seem a complete idiot too.”
“You don’t need me for that.”
“Thanks.”
“Happy to help.”
“Why am I actually helping you escape?”
“Because they’re after you now too. Welcome to the club.”
“I want to quit already.”

*****



Two hours later I woke up. I lifted my head off the dashboard. I’d fallen asleep without even noticing. Next to me Alex was yawning too.
“You know, we could swap.”
“Swap?” He yawned again.
“Yeah. I’m awake now, but you, on the other hand, look like you could use some sleep.”
“Probably.”
“OK, just park the car here, and I’ll swap with you.”



Minutes later we swapped places. I started the car again, and was happy to discover I was still able to drive a car, despite my injuries. Alex had already fallen asleep, when I saw a light in my mirror. Before I had time to take a good look, it disappeared again, as if nothing had happened. Maybe nothing had happened. Maybe I had just imagined the light, because I was tired. Just when I decided I had imagined the light, it appeared again. Then I also noticed a second light, close to the first. It was a car.

“Damn.” The police was signing us to stop. Like we would just surrender like that. Instead, I let the car go a little faster. Behind us the police car also gained more speed. Before I knew it, they were next to us, pushing the car to the left. To the trees.
“Oh no,” I muttered. “One car accident is more than enough.” I stopped the car abruptly. The engines protested. Probably this wasn’t all together good for the car. Well, if I had to chose between the car and my life, I certainly wouldn’t pick the car.



The police car almost bumped into the tree, but at the last moment it went right. I turned the car, and took another way. This one was even smaller than the first one, barely visible. We rode over a giant rock, and for a moment I was afraid the car wouldn’t take it, but then we were past it. The police however, still speeding up, didn’t notice the rock. With an incredibly high speed their car rode over it. There was a loud BANG and the police car started to fall to the left. Because it had still a lot of speed it bumped into a tree. There were several screams, and I grinned. Safe. For now. Alex woke up, and noticed the crashed police car.
 
“Did I miss something?”

Thanks for the comments, guys! ^__^

Heh, I only just realised how crappy the pictures in this chapter actually are... Sorry. >.<

Chapter Nine – Hospital drama



“Damn.” Alex watched his left hand, while clinging to the tree with the other. He had accidentally placed his hand in bird poop.
“This... is... the... last... time...” He lifted himself a little higher. “I... save... a... murderer...” His hands touched the brick wall. “Out... of...” He opened the window. “A... hospital...” He jumped through it.



He reached the ground, not as silent as he had hoped. When he heard footsteps he quickly hid behind a shelf. The footsteps went away again, and Alex grabbed the clothes in his bag. After he had changed, he looked just like any doctor. He grabbed his glasses and silently left the room, heading for the security room. This was going to be a hard part. When he finally arrived, he breathed in, and ran through the door. The man behind the desk looked up.
“Quick! There is an intruder on the first floor!” The man frowned.
“Really? I don’t see anything on the cameras.” This was the tricky part. The man had to believe him now.
“Well, there is one! He stood next to a patient, he... he had a knife!” The man’s eyes widened and he jumped up, and ran through the door. Alex grinned and sat on the chair.



He quickly logged into the system, with the password one of his friends at the police had provided him with. He erased himself from the tapes. Easy enough. But what was next wasn’t easy. He had to send fake information to the cameras. This meant he sent the cameras recordings of everything as it had been an hour ago. It was a little dangerous, and easy to solve as soon as the computer was turned off. But he just had to hope the security wouldn’t notice.



Alex ran out of the room again, and took the stairs. The elevator was too slow. Everything depended on timing. He couldn’t permit himself to loose a single minute. Next time I won’t make this an one-man operation. He looked around the corner to see whether anyone was coming, but the hall was empty. He ran into Val’s room. She looked up, and dropped the book. He took her hand and pulled her out of the bed. Almost immediately she fell, her legs unable to carry her weight. She wore the outfit of a nurse, like he had instructed her. Alex lifted her again, and she added the last touch to her disguise. At the very moment she finished, voices sounded. Damn. The cop was back from his bathroom break. Alex had hoped they would make it in time, but apparently they had been to slow. Time for some acting, then.



The cop noticed the open door, and entered the room. Val leaned against the wall, trying to hide the fact she could barely stand.
“Hey! What are you doing here?”
“We wanted to check the patient, of course.”
“Well where is she?”
“We don’t know. Not here,” Alex replied.
“You didn’t see her?”
“No.”
“And you?” He turned to Val.
“Eh, no. But I did see a man run around the corner. He wore black clothes.”
“Thanks!” The man ran off.



“Okay. We need to get you out of here,” Alex said, as soon as the cop left the room.
“Brilliant plan. There’s just one problem. I can barely stand, let alone walk.” Alex looked around, till he found what he needed. He let Val sit on the wheelchair, and raced through the hall.
“Will you watch out!” she yelled when they almost hit a doctor. He just laughed and pushed harder. God, just like I’m a kid again. He grinned again, and then reminded himself this wasn’t kindergarten, but a hospital, and he was helping a murderer escape.
“Christ! Alex! Watch that thing!” Val freaked out. Alex pushed the wheelchair around the corner, only just missing a chair. He finally slowed down when they came near the entrance. He waited till someone opened the door, and then pushed the wheelchair through it. Unfortunately he lost control of the thing halfway, which caused him to fall and the wheelchair and Val to ride against a bin.



“God damn,” she panted when she finally stood again, leaning on the bin. “This is the last time you’re helping me escape.”
“Let’s hope so.” He opened the door, and they both sat down in the car. Alex started it.

Chapter Eight – Awake at last



Three hours later the cellphone ringed. Alex reached for the phone, and doing so, he fell out of his bed. “Crap.” He remained lying on the ground for some time, but when the cellphone kept ringing, he managed to sit on his knees and grab it.
“Yes?”
“Mr Milk?” Alex sighed.
“I assume you mean Mill, if so, then yes.”
“Sorry. I just called you to say-” Alex heard him going through pages. “Valentina Johnson awoke.”
“Great. I’m on my way.”
“Now?” the man sounded confused.
“Well, since you awakened me, I don’t see what’s the point of staying here any longer.”
“Sure sir.”



Alex dropped the cellphone and got up. He walked to his wardrobe. He pulled. The door flew open, hitting him in the face. In the second before he fell back, he managed to mutter “christ.”
After several failed attempts he finally got dressed. He grabbed his car keys and left for the hospital.



He arrived fifteen minutes later. Someone was waiting at the entrance.
“Mr Milk?” Goddammit. Him again. Alex wasn’t all together happy, and his mood wasn’t really improving thanks to this man.
“That’s me,” he told him with a big smile. The man lifted one brow.
“Please follow me.” They walked through the entrance. It wasn’t exactly hard to find Val’s room, since it was the only one with a cop in front of it.
“Morning Alex,” the cop greeted him.
“Morning Mick,” he replied. Mick stepped aside and Alex entered the room.

*****



I awoke in a dark hospital room. What did I do here? What happened? And more important, who was I? I decided to give my thoughts free reign. Maybe I would remember. My head hurts. Must’ve banged it against the dashboard. The dashboard. The car. Wait, the crash! I bumped into that tree! I was running away for... for... the police! I grinned, pleased at remembering. That grin caused my headache to get worse. It was probably the best to lay still. At that exact moment the door opened and Alex came in. I saw the other cop outside, and only then I noted they had chained me to the bed.
“Hello again,” he said.
“Alex! Open that!” I pointed to the lock.
“That would get me into serious troubles.” He closed the door and took a seat. “Val, you have to face court!” he continued in a hushed tone.
“I know!” I hissed. Alex took a look at the door.
“Already feeling better?” I frowned at the sudden change in the conversation, and then realised the cop outside could hear what we were saying.



“I suppose.” I said louder before continuing the other conversation. “Crap. You need to get me out of here.”
“You can’t even walk.”
“Yes I know that.”
“The doctors say you will be feeling better soon,” Alex raised his voice.
“Great.”
“I’ll ignore that sarcasm,” he whispered. “Anyway, I’ve got a plan.”
“Really?”
“Shhh!”
“Sorry.”
“I’ll come back tonight. I want you to shut up and do whatever they tell you. And no smart comments.” Alex got up.
“Fine then, I’ll be leaving now. See you in court.”
“Bye.” Alex closed the door and I leaned back.
