Nathan Cook's Story

The blazing of the sirans and the shouting of cops and prison guards were behind the three prisoners. Melanie was new but she met Nathan and Tamako there, and well, she felt closer to them and she became their friends. Melanie did not want to escape, first cause her sentence was not long but also it will make her father's reputation decrease. However, she helped her two friends planning their escape plan and she joined them. <I> After all, she wants her revenge.... </I>.

She was running at top speed, almost breathless, but she kept running with her new friends. When they stopped to catch a breath and Nathan explained their new plan, she nodded. "That's sound like a good plan" . She quickly gathered her strength and constitution for the next run. it was so freezing, but the run makes the cold bearable. She stopped and looked at Tamako a bit confused as Nathan told them to stay at the edges and run. "He will come back, right?" .

She watched nervously and hoped no guards will suddenly pop out infront of them. They have no weapons yet, nothing to defend themselves. They only need to hide and wait. Melanie sigh in relief when Nathan came back and told them the good news, she smiled brightly. "Alright, that's awesome! Come, lead us there". . Melanie grabbed Nathan's arm and started walking beside him, quickly.

"So, what do you guys suggest we do once we get out of here?". Melanie turned and looked at Tamako and suddenly was out of words, she did not quite thought ahead of that. Mostly the escape was more her friends' idea and she just tagged along, as always. She heard Nathan's plan,
"Well if I think with the proper head then I guess the first thing I'd wanna do is get some food, that shit they fed us in there doesn't really qualify as food, so something that has some flavor would be nice, and then getting some clothes that don't look like prison greys and heading south would be good. Not to Mexico though, the islands....easy to get lost there, and Cuba would be a safe haven like no other....but i'm just rambling man, we need to find a safe way to travel first." , Melanie nodded and her cheerful smile went back to her face. "Oh, I think it is a wonderful plan, Nathan, first thing first is to find a safe place and food" .

They waited for Nathan's friend to pick them up in the location. Melanie continued to wrap her arms around her, hugging herself to keep herself warm. Damn, can't they have escaped on a more warmer night? . Was just a thought, but she did not say that out loud. Finally they noticed a car coming towards them and her mood became more optimistic. She smiled to Nathan's cousin and nodded, "It's okay, I guess....we will find something, thanks for the ride" . Melanie flashed her most cutest and innocent smile she always do on people that almost always get her out of trouble when she was a kid, and also even when she was grown up. That smile almost always melt people away.

Melanie climbed to the back seat, whichever side she takes as she let Tamako choose the side she prefers, if she wants. Than she sat beside the window and watched closely for any signs of police chasing or any road blocks. She really hoped not, she saw lots of movies to know what the police was planning. But that was in the movies, what will happen in the real life? The ride took very long, which the cold and the fatigue suddenly fell on her and she drifted to sleep.

Melanie was quite a heavy sleeper, so when Tamako woke her up she woke up in a jump. Took her a few seconds to realized where she were and how they got here. She looked at Tamako and nodded and sigh, "Yeah....damn....". She gave a bright smile to Nathan's cousin and stepped back into the cold with Tamako as soon as she saw Nathan signaling them. She got out of the car back into the cold, Tamako walked infront of her, guess as hiding her orange jumpsuit she guessed. Melanie could not help but yawns, putting her hand on her mouth, that sleep made her even more tired.

When they got into the motel's room Nathan checked out for them, Melanie gasped in disbelief. "Oh, my god! That room looks amazing! I think even the floor was better than a cell, but this one is million times better!" Mel was in her cheerful mood again, she jumped flat on her back on the bed and grabbed a pillow and cuddles with it. She watched Tamako turning on the t.v as she maybe looking for any news about their break. She suddenly fall silent again, curled up on the bed with the pillow, she looked at the screen. She than stood up, she actually did not want to see that if there will be any news about them, she spoke silently, "Hmmm....do you want maybe I get us something from the vending machine to eat?" . She wasn't thinking of money, she can get into a vending machine without entering coins, but if Nathan offers her some change she will take it.

Melanie nodded with a smile towards Nathan, taking the change from him. She turned her head to Tamako, "Could you get me some chips or something that would be easy on my stomach? I can't really eat too much right now." Melanie smiled, "Sure thing, be back in a few minutes...." . Well, she hoped it will take a few minutes, she hoped it will be an easy trip to the vending machine. The TV was still talking as she closed the door behind her and walked towards the row of vending machines most motels has them.

For a few minutes she looked at the machine, she saw some chips for Tamako and with the rest of the change a few energy bars will be enough. Mel thought it will be great, they quite need energy because they are not safe yet from the danger ahead. She puts the coins and grabbed the energy bars and the chips. She started walking towards the room when she stopped in her tracks, Do we need a drink? . She wondered and than she looked around, seeing there is no one looking, she quickly ran to the drinks machine. She had no coins left, so with the skills of what she always learned and using a button from her shirt, she was able to "fool" the machine as she dropped a coin and a diet coke can came out. Mel smiled, at least I still got this.

She ran quickly back with the food and coke in her hands, not wanting anyone to notice her any further. She almost bursts open the door, but she held back a bit her enthusiasm. She closed the door and sat the chips, bars and smiled putting the can of soda on the table. She sat on the couch and grabbed one of the energy bars and munched on it like she has not eaten in weeks. "There you go, bone appetite". She did not talked about the food or the drink, just sat there with a proud smile on her face.

(OOC: Sorry for not posting last night, I was so tired after my mums b-day festivities that I totally forgot until this morning....haha. <3)

"Oh Mel, you're back with the good stuff." . Melanie smiled and gave a wink and fingers point towards Nathan and kept munching on the energy bar and sips a few sips from the drink. She nodded toward Tamako, "Don't mention it...." . She turned her head to the t.v set as Tamako was watching, she was in relief to hear nothing in the news about them or about a break-out from prison of any sort. She was startled when a remote was thrown in her way as it almost fell to the floor but she managed catching it barely with her wrists. "Guess it's my turn for a shower now" . As Tamako said and Mel smiled and suddenly she was so bored, she finally turned off the t.v "Well, I guess there is still nothing good on t.v when we got in.... . Melanie chuckled to herself and suddenly out of instinct reached her hand for her pocket for her Iphone, realizing she defiantly doesn't have it anymore, she pretended she like cleaned her pants.

She yawns again, still feeling tired as she laid down on the couch. Even the couch was more comfortable than the beds in her cell, so she could sleep on that couch right there. She looked at Nathan and asked in still her cute voice, "So....what exactly we gonna do tomorrow? run to the borders of Mexico?" . She smirked, but deep down she thought it might be an option even if she said it as a joke. She thought about her father, he might use any of his powers to catch her and bring her back. Her new friends and her, she fears, might not be too safe in here.

Melanie Browne

Mel was sleeping so deep she did not awaken when Nathan opened the door and plumped a huge basket with laundry clothes. She had quite the most vivid and deep dreams in her sleep she just could not hear any slight noise around her. Not until she jumped startled from a bad dream just when Tamako asked, "Should we wake her?". Melanie rubbed her eyes and gave a loud yawn, she smirked "It's ok, I'm up, I'm up" . Melanie decided it is her turn for a morning shower and suddenly her eyes brighten seeing the regular clothes on the couch. She looked at Nathan with a smile, "Oh my gosh, Nathan, you are defiantly our hero!" . She quickly grabbed some t-shirt and another pair of jeans of what was left that Tamako didn't grab, a blue bra and pink panties and quickly ran to the bathroom.

In the bathroom she was relief to finally throw the prison uniform away and stepped into the shower's hot water. She was humming along in the shower, it was quite her habit to hum tunes in the shower, but she did it softly and quietly. When she was done and stepped out, drying herself in hotel towels that felt like towels from Hilton hotel. She wore the new clothes Nathan brought them and combed her hair in front of the mirror. Melanie smiled, she started to look herself again, now they all have energy for their next plan. As Mel stepped out from the bathroom, steam coming after her, she giggles "Now that was necessary..." .
