But did they really have a choice?? Things would get really ugly if the police were to meet them there so the only solution right now was to flee as fast as possible.
"SILAS!!" Chris turned around with a racing heart but due to the distance between them, he couldn't quite make out the appearance of the young woman who came out.
The woman quickly threw away the bags in her hands to God knows where as she dashed towards the bleeding boy with a terrified expression.
"HELP!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!" She screamed out as she held the boy close to her chest while weeping. The streets were quiet so her voice travelled far and before long, she was surrounded by people including the workers in the chop she just departed.
"Young master!!" The boutique manager screamed out in terror. "Quick quick get the car." He ordered his assistant and in no time, the luxurious car arrived and they zoomed to the hospital at full speed.

"Hello..." Max said as he struggled to open his eyes due to the sunlight coming in through the window. He wiped his eyes as he stood up and made his way towards the window.
"Max dear... Have you heard from your brother??" Sam's anxious voice was heard immediately the call went through.
"I haven't mom. What's the matter? Why are you so anxious at this time of the day." Max asked with a somewhat neutral voice. He knew whenever his mom spoke like this was because of Chris and the troubles he brings with him but this is just after sunrise, just what has that brother of his done to get their mother this worked up??
"Chris... Chris was involved in an accident son." She replied.
" It involves a child's life and from a prominent family at that. This is very bad Max, please come back immediately." She said in one breath.
"It's alright Mom, I'm on my way." Max said with a long sigh before he hung up. He didn't waste anymore time as he rushed to the wardrobe and into the bathroom the next moment. It didn't take up to 10 minutes before he dashed to the living room in search for his keys.
"What's wrong Max, where are you headed??" Monica asked as she untied her apron by the dining table.
"Something important came up so I have to rush to country M immediately. I'll give you the details later so just tell me if Chris contacts you okay..." Max said before hurrying off.
Bella came out some minutes later and after letting out a yawn, she dragged her feet's over to the couch to see Monica lost in her thought.
"What's wrong Monica?? And where is military boy, I thought he would have been up by now." Bella asked lazily as she laid on the couch.
But Monica didn't even bother answering her as she took her phone from the table and dialed Mr Mitchell's number immediately.
"Da-"
"Chris was involved in an accident last night and the victim is in a critical condition. The police came to arrest Chris this morning but I haven't heard from him since yesterday afternoon. Do well to tell me if he contacts you." Mr Mitchell's angry voice came from the other end immediately the call was connected and he hung up immediately he finished what he had to say.
"Monica was tongue tied and didn't know what to say as she sat there in shock.
"MONICA!! Stop scaring me, what's wrong??" Bella finally lost it as she screamed at Monica while shaking her.
"Sor--ry... It's Chris. He's been involved in a fatal accident " Monica said still in Surprise.
"Quick change your clothes, we have to leave now." Monica quickly said and without wasting anymore time they dashed into their rooms.
The both came out some minutes later in a simple outfit with their purses and rushed towards the door.
"Marco!?" Bella called out in Surprise.
"Hey Bella... Going somewhere??"
"Marco... I'm sorry but something urgent came up so we have to rush to country M." Monica who came out a little after Bella quickly explained to him with an apologetic smile.
"That's okay... I can drop you guys at the airport. What a coincidence, I also have to go to country M later today. Let's be on our way then." Marco said before they departed for the airport.
By the time they reached the airport, it was already some minutes passed ten and there was no way they could wait for the flight by twelve.
But the all so rich and handsome heartthrob of theirs didn't mind as he brought out his phone to make a call. In less than ten minutes, that one phone call already bought them a private ride and they were soon on their way to country M.

"Hey Andrew... Andrew!!"
"The cops are here... C'mon, we gat to move now." Chris spoke so quietly as he woke up Andrew who was sleeping like a log at this critical time.
At about 4 in the morning, they were surrounded at Andrew's house where they slept after the accident. But due to the layout of the place, they were able to escape through the underground passage and are now in a cheap apartment in the capital city of country M.
Chris was very surprised at how fast and efficient these police were. It normally took them weeks and sometimes months to figure out the crimes he had committed and due to his family's influence, they normally will just let it slip off.
But this time, not only were they fast in discovering them, they were also able to chase them even while aware of their identities. This really is a serious matter.
They once again headed for the backdoor but were surprised to see it empty. 'This is too easy' Chris thought. Something is wrong.
But Andrew wasn't even bothered as he headed straight for the car.
"Chris!! C'mon, let's go!" Andrew screamed out after he started the car.
With no other choice, Chris hoped on and they left the apartment at full speed.
"This can't continue Chris. We got to leave this country." Andrew said.
Chris immediately switched on his phone which had been turned off for hours and before he could even do anything, his phone rang.
He was shocked. How on earth did she know he was going to call her?!
"Chris... Please come back home. Things are bad." Monica's anxious voice came through the phone the very moment the call was connected. And just like that, the call was disconnected immediately.
"Andrew... Let's go back." Chris said with a long helpless sigh.
