Order of the Seers Ch. 4 Run (some strong language included.)

I can’t believe I left my gun at home. It was all Liam could think as he observed them watching him and Lilli as they tried to move smoothly and quietly out of the crowded restaurant.

It’s probably a good thing. Mr. Lam and his customers wouldn’t appreciate blood in their noodles if this came to a shootout.

As they cleared the restaurant doorway, Liam took in their familiar surroundings, looking for an escape route. Every corner of Chinatown was dense with colors, people, hot food carts, vendors, and a million other things he’d barely registered when he entered the restaurant twenty minutes ago. Liam and Lilli had come all this way, 4,458 miles total, and the Guild had finally found them. The two men who had come to destroy what was left of the Knight family were less than fifteen feet away.

In his peripheral vision, Liam could see the excitement growing on Jason’s face as he and Miguel remained locked in their stare, assessing each other as prey and hunter. Miguel knew enough not to underestimate Liam. Without any real experience, this young man had managed to elude or kill everyone they had sent to find them. In the course of his pursuit, Miguel learned that Liam had become an exceptional marksman, with advanced training in weaponry and hand-to-hand combat. Liam looked at Miguel with all the bravado of a young man ready to be tested and determined not to lose. If Miguel didn’t know his own strengths, he might have been intimidated, but the emotion just wasn’t in him. Liam was a boy; Miguel was a killer. In Miguel’s mind, there was no comparison.

Feeling confident, Miguel finally broke Liam’s gaze to assess the girl holding his hand. He noted with appreciation that Lilli had grown-up significantly from the pig-tailed photos he and Jason were able to piece together. Though her body had remained small and somewhat boyish for a girl of fifteen years, she had lost most of the plumpness in her cheeks. Her features had become sharper, but still lovely. Her hazel eyes were lighter than the pictures told. Wider, he thought, and hardened from a combination of time and loss. The dye that covered her long, naturally dirty blonde hair in shades of hot pink and pale yellow, along with the multiple rings and cuffs she sported on her hands and wrists suited her, he thought, in a punk-rock kind of way. Though he assumed she was afraid, he noted with curiosity that she was not holding her brother’s hand as tightly as he would have expected and that disturbed him. She’s only fifteen. Can she see the outcome? He wondered as he took in the lack of tension in her face. She feels safe, even now.

What they didn’t know was that she hadn’t seen them coming, couldn’t see a damn thing beyond her brother out of the corner of her eye. But she didn’t need to see more than him to know that this was the safest place that she could be. Whatever happened to them now, they would be together. They would either escape and survive, or fight and die. She would not be taken away from the only family she had left.

Liam’s grip was light and gentle as their fingers intertwined. They had practiced this. As soon as his pinky moved down the inside of her own, she knew what that meant. Run, Lilli. Run left.

“Now!” Liam shouted as he cinched Lilli’s hand tightly and sprinted left into the crowd. As they ran into the opening that Liam had been looking for, he could feel Lilli already beginning to lag behind. Though her heart and mind were willing, trying to keep up with him, her feet were slow, her legs incapable of matching his speed. As they cut right into the farmer’s market, Liam risked a glance behind him.

S***!

He could feel panic spreading through his chest as he realized that if they kept their current pace, they would be caught within seconds.

Liam couldn’t remember when he grabbed Lilli and moved her onto his back. He only registered the relief he felt that she was still so light and fit so easily around him, like she had when they played piggyback as children. The minute she was securely in place, he could feel his body surge with adrenaline as he pushed himself harder and faster through the crowd. The burn in his lungs and legs felt familiar and comforting, like thirty suicide drills on a hot summer’s day. Basketball in the winter, track in the spring - he’d never felt so grateful for the rigorous schedule he used to keep as he made a sharp left and narrowly missed the rice ball stand right in front of them. His combat training compelled him to maintain a zigzag pattern as he ran, just in case they decided to shoot, but he knew it was unlikely.

The Guild hadn’t survived this long without being discreet, he thought, as he reminded himself that witnesses were one of the advantages of living in a densely populated area. Their chase was already eliciting looks of surprise, curiosity, and concern from bystanders.

So he ran and they chased him, without any clear plan of where he was going beyond away. After twenty seconds of running through the bitter taste of death-so-close in his mouth, the sound of Lilli’s voice began to slowly register.

Left here, then straight.

Her voice was like the wind on his face, recharging and cooling him at the same time. As Lilli’s voice laid out their route of escape, Liam could feel himself relax into his role as carrier.

Seamlessly, they worked in unison.

Her voice. His legs.

Action-Reaction.

Left - shoulder-pivot

Duck - waist-bend

Second light - eyes shifting upwards.

Her voice seemed to obscure everything but where she wanted him to go—faces blurred, street signs merged and faded.

Behind him, he heard the frustrated shouts of their pursuers.

“She must be helping him. Faster!” Miguel growled, even as the sound of their voices came from farther and farther away.

Through the blue doors on your right, Liam. Stop inside. Liam complied immediately.

The room was dark and dusty. The storage room to a restaurant, Liam guessed as he locked the door behind him and turned to see large cardboard boxes with bright red Chinese characters stacked high throughout the room. The walls were covered in corrugated steel with exposed beams along the ceiling. Liam moved to the farthest corner of the small room and faced the door, standing with Lilli still perched on his back.

For the first time since they left Mr. Lam’s restaurant, Lilli used her voice.

“You can put me down now. They won’t find us here.”

Instead of obeying, Liam shook his head and tightened his grip on her legs. When he was sure she would stay in place, he brought out the pocketknife that he always carried in his right front pocket and flicked it open.
