Hooray for North Hollywood
“What is it with Angelinos and chasing you with cameras” Scott asked as the three ran down the sidewalk.
“Not now!” Daisy yelled as they rounded a corner into a bigger crowd, which also started screaming
“Oh crap.” Daisy said “This way, come on.” She told the boys as she ran towards the entrance of a subway station.
The three ran down the stairs and jumped the turnstiles.
Scott stopped and turned around to see if they were being followed.
There was a tidal wave of humanity following them.
“Quick! On the train!” Scott called ahead.
“No one’s going to see us down here, right?” Daisy asked as the doors closed and train pulled out of the station.
“Well, it’s ether this or go back up into ‘the running of the tweens?” Scott asked, panting for breath “I think Pamplona would be safer right now. You OK Barry?”
“Not used to not having my speed.” He said, leaning over and gasping himself. “Forgot what it’s like to be winded…”
“So do we wait, do we go back to the car? Or can you make it come to us?” Daisy asked Scott.
“Well, we’re on a Red Line train; the end of the line is the other side of the hills in North Hollywood. We can wait there while the car comes to us. I don’t think anyone is going to be looking for a major celebrity there.”
“One can only hope.”
After a while of riding, mostly with Daisy hiding in the corner, they walked back out into the sunshine of the San Fernando Valley.
“Hooray for North…awe damn it…” Scott said as they exited the station to a crowd of people coming from the buses parked nearby.
“I thought you said no one came here?” Barry asked.
“I said important people don’t come this way” Scott said as the group tried to move out of the way of the crowds.
“Just get the car here…” Daisy said, ducking behind a palm tree. “God this is embarrassing. New rule, we google oursevels on each stop.”
“Well well well, lookie what we have here?” A voice said
Hydra Bobbie was sitting on a bench across from them.
“Still sending holograms or are you actually gracing us with your presence…?” Scott asked scarcasticly.
“No, I’m a bit busy, would have loved to join you.”
“Where’s my wife?” Barry demanded.
“Oh, so you came along… interesting…” She said. “She’s not been hurt. I’m not interested in hurting her. She’s just insurance. Go home. Leave me alone and I won’t ever hurt her. You won’t get her back, but she’ll be safe.”
“You bitch!” Daisy screamed, stepping closing.
“Uh oh, you shouldn’t have done that…” Morse teased.
The crowds suddenly stopped and looked at Daisy.
“Let’s have some fun.” Morse said with an evil smile “What do you guys say? I‘ll give you a 60 second head start before I post that you’re here on the internet. Oh, and one more thing.”
She snapped her fingers and Scott’s phone immediately shut itself off.
The three started to exchange looks as Morse started counting.
“Time to go.” Scott said, grabbing Daisy’s hand.
They ran down the street, looking for a spot to hide.
“Now what?” Barry asked.
“I’m thinking… There!” Scott said.
“A ditch?”
“Come on!” Scott, yelled jumping the fence.
“It’s one of LA’s concrete rivers.” Scott explained as they walked along the cutting. “This should get us heading back in the right direction.”
“How did you know this was here?” Daisy asked.
“You goggled me, you tell me…”
“I didn’t get that far…” She admitted.
“I lived out this way for a couple months after I got out of the academy in 2010. They assigned me to the LA field office and got me an apartment in Van Nuys. I used to pass this every day on the bus.”
“See if you can get the other’s on your comm.” Scott told Daisy.
“Daisy?” she heard Jemma answer
“Yeah, we’ve got a bit of a problem and we’re gonna need help.”
“You’re not going to believe what we found…” Jemma said.
“Let me take… a WILD guess…” She said.
“On this Earth, you’re a singer.”
“We know.”
“Oh, and Scott and Barry are wanted for kidnapping you.”
“WHAT?” Daisy yelled.
