...Leavin' Las Vegas

"Kate, are you alone?" Sean said quietly on his cell phone. There was no one around, but it seemed appropriate to whisper.

"Sure."

"We need to leave."

"Leave where?"

"Vegas, tonight. I'm pretty sure Jack killed Frank. And even if he didn't, someone he knows did. I'm all for making a quick buck, but I'm not ready to get killed for a few thousand dollars."

"So leave."

"You should come too. Once I leave, it might not be safe for you. Yeah, he has friends in Vegas, but not outside. I'm getting in my car and leaving as soon as I get packed up. If you want, meet me at the gas station near the airport at 7:45."

"I'll see."

Sean knew he had to leave but wasn't quite sure where he would go or what he would do when he got there, or if Kate would come, or if being on the run would be enough of a turn-on for Kate to sleep with him. Note to self: pick up condoms. Oh, and pretzels. (Not because of the sex, but it's nice to have pretzels on long road trips).

Sean, with his car packed and "disguised" in a low hat that read "What happens in Vegas..." and aviator sunglasses purchased from the hotel gift shop. Sean noticed the irony that unlike the saying on his hat, he would not be staying in Vegas. A dark haired brunette knocked on his car window and almost caused Sean to knock his own sunglasses off. It was Kate. She had dyed her hair. It looked good...wait, focus!

In fact, she looked so good that Sean barely noticed a silver Sebring convertable, top UP pull into the station behind him. At the wheel was Jack. Next to Jack was someone Sean had never met before. Since Sean didn't feel that this was a great time for new introductions, he knew he had to go, now.

His first instinct was to drive off quickly. Then, he thought it might be a better idea to run into the airport where they might lose him and buy a couple of plane tickets. If he did that, where would he fly? As he wasn't particularly pressed for time, he thought it would be best to wonder what his friends would suggest.

He should definitely go into the airport. There's all crazy kinds of security there. He could hop a flight to anywhere in the world... with Kate... and the plane ride would at least give him time to think up a new plan.

As far as "where should he fly"... let Kate pick! She probably has an idea of where she'd want to do... is she the beach type? The crab fishing type? I vote they go to New York or Chicago... both great cities and easy to get lost in.

I also vote for the airport. He wouldn't want to meet the same fate as Frank.

Hit the road to Mexico- no telling what the wait at airport security could be, so it would be an opportune time for someone to catch up with him. Besides, he'll need his car where ever he ends up.
