Lei quickly got dressed, tying his hair up in a high ponytail this time, and put the uniform, helmet including on. Surprisingly it fit. Lei locked the poor guy in the old cell. He grabs Carmina's wrist and walked her down the hall. Lei managed to get by unnoticed until a guard notices what Lei was doing. Lei explains that the child is sick and needs medical attention, and the guard pointed at the direction of the medical wing. Eventually, they were almost at the exit. One guard stopped and pointed his gun at Lei.
"What are you doing?"
"Didn't you get the memo? The boss wants me to bring him the girl!"
"I didn't get no such memo!"
"Of course you didn't! Do you think they have time to go in and have a meeting and tell EVERYONE the plans! Look, all I know is, I'm supposed to bring her to the boss! That is all! I'm trying to do my job here!"
The guard then lowered his weapon. "Fine, fine fine! I'll let you through."
"Thanks, and God Bless!"
They were finally out of the facility. Once they were far enough, Lei took off the helmet, and took out the elastic holding his hair. He shakes it around and puts it back in his usual low ponytail. "I parked like a few blocks from here. We shouldn't be far."

The sunlight disrupted her vision, causing her to squint her eyes, but she welcomed it. It had been weeks since she even saw the sun, why not learn to embrace it? She followed Lei until they got to his car, once they were in, Carmina strapped herself and her daughter in safely. While she was strapping herself in, Carmina glanced at a car that was speeding in their direction, her eyes widened when she got a glimpse of who it was. It was her father! How did he know about her even trying to escape?? No matter, the main priority is to get the hell out of here! "Shit!" Carmina exclaimed as she ushered Lei, "Lei! It's my father! He's coming for us!! Start the car! GO!"

Lei hopped in the rental Honda. He quickly started it and put it in gear. Ahh, it was just like the good old days. Lei looked at the gun and concluded that he couldn't drive and shoot with one arm.
"Okay, grab a bag... this is going to be a bumpy ride."

They drove through the gate, breaking through it, and onto the street with heavy traffic. Carmina thought that they may have lost her father, but she soon found out just how wrong she was! Instead, he sped up and rammed the back of their car, causing Carmina to hit her head on the dashboard. "Dammit!" She exclaimed in pain as she held her head. Soon, bullets riddled through the car, breaking the windows in the front and back of the car. Alexandria screamed and burst into tears while her mother hovered over her to shield her from the bullets that flew through the vehicle. Carmina set Alexandria down in the space in front of her, "Don't move. And cover your eyes, sweetie." She told her daughter, who was shaking and scared. The young woman grabbed the gun from Lei, and shot out the back window towards her father's car, the bullets broke his windshield and one even managed to graze his shoulder, causing him to slightly wince in pain but he kept driving.

Lei ducked as he drove, avoiding the gunfire. Yep, this definitely took him back. Lei sighed quietly to himself.
"Well, at least it was a remtal."
He saw Carmina fire at the car behind them. He was relieved as Lei didn't have a gun
"Try aiming toward the middle of the car. It should bust the radiator, causing the car to stall. Also, make sure to aim toward the driver. There is also a throttle. Breaking that will cause the car to stall, too."

The car suddenly began to lose control and began to slow down, to add extra measure, Carmina shot the final bullet in the chamber at one of the tires making sure to land the final blow. That'll hold him off for a while... "Bastard..." She said to herself. Once the coast was clear, Carmina collected her child and held her close. She had been crying and shaking, Carmina couldn't blame her, she would've done the same thing if she were in her position. "Hey lovebug, you can stop crying, Mommy's here, it's okay." Carmina soothed her terrified daughter, by kissing her head and stroking the locks of her light brown hair.

Lei waited until everything was nice and calm before he said anything. Eventhough the enemy was at a halt, Lei kept going. He knew he was going to jail for this. Both of them. Well, he could plead "self-defense".
"Nice shooting." Lei said. "Now, I don't think we can rest just yet, we need to keep going."
Lei would ask what was going on, but he knew now wasn't the time to ask.

A few moments later, she looked down at her daughter who had seemed to calm down more, as she was now asleep. "Where do we go from here Lei? We can't keep going on the run, Eventually we're gonna get caught." The young woman said to Lei, it was true, and with Alexandria in the car with them, their chances being on the run are slim to none.

"It's nothing." Lei smiled. He kept on driving, remaining quiet during the drive as to not wake up the little girl.
"Where do we go from here Lei? We can't keep going on the run, Eventually we're gonna get caught."
"I'd say press charges and go under witness protection. That's usually the standard protocol. What they do is they change your name, and send you somewhere else..."
Lei felt really helpless. There wasn't much he could do for the woman and her daughter. All that he can do is just let the law take care of it. With police corruption being a thing, there's not guarantee that Carmina will be safe. The best he can do now is keep her safe.

And most importantly, what about her daughter? Being on the run was not the life she had intended for her daughter, instead Carmina wanted the complete opposite! She wanted to give the world to her baby girl, but this is not what she had in mind. But, if it were to protect her daughter, then it was a risk she had to take. "So.." Carmina spoke, "About this witness protection? Do you know where to go for that?" Her eyes were laced with concern, but she was willing to do it. Before long, she glanced down at the engagement ring on her finger, and gently smiled, thinking about King. "If I do this, looks like my wedding may have to put on hold! Good thing I didn't buy my wedding gown yet, hehe."

"About this witness protection? Do you know where to go for that?"
"Yeah, you just go to your local precinct. They'll take care of it. They also send a few guys your way. Also, you press charges, and often you will be under the protection until the trial ends. Then you can go back to your normal life."
"If I do this, looks like my wedding may have to put on hold! Good thing I didn't buy my wedding gown yet, hehe."
"Oh, and you have a fiance, too. He must be the luckiest man in the world! I'm assuming... he's the father, hnm?"

But, if only he knew just how hard it was for her, she couldn't just simply run and press charges on her father. With the type of authority he had among others, with the simple mention of her even taking him to court, he would have her head! If anything, this was a risk that she was willing to take. "Take me there." Carmina said to Lei, if this is what she had to do to protect her daughter, then so be it. "Oh, and you have a fiance, too. He must be the luckiest man in the world! I'm assuming... he's the father, hnm?"Carmina smiled as she ran her fingers through her daughters hair, thinking about her father, King. "Yes, I am the luckiest woman in the world to have him. My King. Kinda strange how we met but, in the end, I wouldn't change it for the world." And that's why Carmina was so headstrong about this, she needed to protect her family, by any means necessary.

Lei nodded in understanding, taking her to the police station. A place where Lei didn't exactly hope to see himself going back to. The memories, the pain... damn it all...
Yes, I am the luckiest woman in the world to have him. My King. Kinda strange how we met but, in the end, I wouldn't change it for the world."
Lei smiled. He longed to have that connection with someone. One day. For whatever reason, whenever Lei thinks of his ideal woman... she's this... tiny, green-eyed... white woman with curly red hair. He's probably been watching too much of the Avengers movie series. "I know the feeling. Once you find someone... the wait makes it all totally worth it."
Lei stopped at the police station and instructs Carmina to go inside.
"I'll follow you later. I need to figure out how to get this rental... in working condition. Heheheh..."

Holding her daughter's hand, walking into the building, made her way over to the front desk and asked about the procedure for Witness protection, and that she wanted to change her name, not permanently but at least until the coast is clear. The receptionist directs her to the back of the building, where Carmina discussed her situation and she hoped that they could help her out.

Lei waited outside, checking out the damages done to the poor Civic. Some odd reason, Lei thought about that Jodie Foster commercial with the Honda Civic. Good times. Good times.
"Yep. My insurance bills are going up. Time to switch to Geico!" Just as Lei anounced it, the bumper, along with part of the taillights popped off. He sighed.
"I know, I know. I got to confront my past someday." Lei muttered.
He walks right toward the prescient, but the car blows up, and the shock of the explosion drives Lei toward the building. He knocks the door down, and somewhat slides down the hall and hits a wall. Lei dusts himself off and gets up.
"So um... did Honda have a recall on all of their cars? Mine just blew up."
