I don't own Race to Witch Mountain!

Peyton's POV

No one talked for a long time, possibly hours as we drove through the desert.

"Are your parents going to be okay with you spending all this money?" Jack asked, glancing back at Seth and Sara, his eyes suspicious.

"We have previously agreed on a financial deal, if your concern is regarding compensation-"

"My concern is the fact that I got a couple of kids in the back of my cab, with a big wad of cash with a drop-off location that's pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Now in my book, that's a little chapter called running away." Jack interrupted Seth, who glared at him with more anger than what would normally be given.

"Jack, you better be getting desert miles on that fare, and they better be able to pay, and you better get me an ETA, capisce?" I listened to who must have been Jack's boss come in on the radio. I watched Jack's reaction, an annoyed expression crossed his face.

"I'm losing reception Dominic." He replied, in no mood to listen to his boss complain.

"Jack? Jack!" the radio was promptly turned off, sparing us of the rest of the rant.

"Jack Bruno, the vehicles behind us are indicating a pattern of pursuit." Sara stated hastily. I looked at her, only to see that her attention was on Jack, a sort of pleading in her eyes.

"There's no vehicles following…" Jack glanced in the rear view mirror. A black SUV was coming into view, moving up the hill directly behind us.

"At your rate of speed verses theirs, they will overtake our vehicle in less than one minute." Determination crossed Seth's face as he stared at Jack, both of them trying to make him see their point.

"Relax kid, I'm just gonna let um' pass." He muttered as he rolled down the window. "Open road people, all yours." He called as he waved his arm, a clear signal that they could go.

"What did I tell you? Nobody's following us, I'm the king of these roads-"

"Jack Bruno!" The black SUV had swerved in front of us, blocking the road and causing us to skid. My head hit the back of my seat with a thud, immediately a sense of vertigo blossomed. I groaned and put my hands over the now swelling bump.

Jack tried to control the car as we continued to swerve, the moment the car stopped spinning he was speeding down the road, passing the car that had cut us off.

"I said I was out and I meant it!" Jack yelled, I turned my head and raised my eyebrows, my head still spinning.

"Who is Mr. Wolfe, Jack Bruno?" Sara asked, glancing behind us to see that the cars were still following.

"How did you know that?" Jack asked with wide eyes, "Get down now!" he yelled as one of the SUVs rammed into the back of the cab.

I put my head onto my knees but kept my head high enough that I could see out the window. All of the SUV's tried boxing us in, one in the back and one on each side. Jack thrashed around, trying to get the car free, but nothing seemed to work.

"Hold on." He called as he slammed on the brakes, a move that caused the car behind us to swerve off of the road, creating a chain reaction with the others allowing us to break free.

"Jack Bruno, it would appear we have no eluded them." Sara stated, her tone frightened still, I glanced out of the window to see that she was right.

"I'm so over this. Stay down, stay down!" Jack ordered,

"Seth no, it's not a good idea." Sara chided,

"I have to try." He replied,

"It's too dangerous!" without another word Seth phased through the seat as if it wasn't even real. I twisted around in my seat to watch with Sara. Seth stood in the middle of the road, directly in the path of the SUV.

"Sara what is he doing?" I whispered, she ignored me though, to focused on her brother to notice me.

I tried to scream but nothing came out of my mouth when the two collided, the SUV breaking into pieces while Seth just stood there, not moving an inch.

That was enough for one day, somehow my body knew it too, and it allowed me to see nothing but black.

I am so sorry for not updating in forever, I literally wrote this all today so…thank you to everyone who has stayed with this story
