The Getaway
The night sky over the ranch was full of stars, but I wasn’t looking up. I was
leading the way to our meeting place with the others. I stopped at the end of
the porch and took a couple of steadying breaths. I was desperate to see into
the next few minutes. That’s my particular Medusa ability . . . visions of the
future.
But, as so often when I’m feeling stressed, I couldn’t see anything.
‘What is it, Ketty?’ Ed whispered behind me.
I shook my head, glad that he wasn’t attempting to read my mind.
‘Nothing.’
I hoped it didn’t matter that I couldn’t see if there were any obstacles to our
escape. We were on the trail of a drug – Medusix – that mimicked our
genetically-given psychic skills and it was important we got away from here
tonight. In the morning our parents, in an effort to prevent the UK
government from taking charge of us again, were planning to separate us
from each other and send us on different flights all over the world.
‘Er . . . come on, Ketty, the others will be waiting,’ Ed whispered. He ran
his hand anxiously through his sandy, tufty hair. ‘Ketty?’
I peered round the corner of the porch. It was nearly 3 a.m. and the ranch
house was dark and silent. The night air was still and cool. Apart from the
moon and stars above, the only light came from the lanterns that illuminated
the exit – across the field to our right. We were heading in the opposite
direction.
‘Okay, let’s go.’ With a final glance back at the ranch I raced across the
field on our left, Ed by my side. We were due to meet the others at 3 a.m. in
the paddock. As we neared the paddock fence I could just make out Dylan’s
profile. She was leaning against the gate stroking one of the horses in the
field. Nico stood beside her. He caught sight of me and beckoned us over. I
could see the tension on his face as we ran up. He turned to Ed.
‘Where’s your sister?’ he demanded. ‘Where’s Amy?’
‘Er . . .’ Ed stammered.
‘We didn’t bring her,’ I said quickly. Confessing that Amy wasn’t with us
was what I’d been nervous about, much more than running away from the
ranch. Ed and I had decided to leave her behind . . . that she’d be safer
staying with the adults.
