I'm a writer with <a href="http://www.writersdock.org" target="_blank">Writers Dock</a>. "You're so stuck up your own arse, it's unbelievable," Briony shouted over the sound of the car engine gunning. She leaned out the window and took a few pot shots at the police with her gun. The shots were going wild but she didn't care as long as the police backed off. Gary was looking even more pissed off, turning the wheel sharply trying to shake off his pursuers, "Up my own arse? You know how difficult it is to do that? Almost as hard as licking my elbow, but at least I had a damn good try at it!"
The car skidded around the corner, leaving skid marks on the road and bystanders coughing in the dust. The police cars followed close behind with their lights and sirens blaring out loud. Gary almost hit an old lady crossing the road but he managed to swerve around her at the last second. Thankfully the streets were clear at the moment but rush hour was not far away. If Gary took his eyes off the road for a second they would come to an abrupt painful death.
"Look, let's just make the best of the situation," Gary said glancing in the rear view mirror at the three police cars following.
"But it's your fault we're in this mess. If you had just kept your big gob shut none of this would have happened!"
Briony pulled herself into the car and rummaged in the glove back.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it. When he started banging on about mortgage payments being so affordable these days, I had to say something."
"Oh yeah, telling him that you'd rather have your balls set on fire while making love to a orangutan infected with the Ebola virus than take the mortgage he was offering. Oh yes, very clever, well done... moron!"
"Me? Moron? Hey, I'm not the one who shot him!"
Briony slapped another magazine into the gun and leaned back out the car window letting off another salvo at the police. The pursuing cars weaved all over the road and one of them slammed into a lamppost knocking it over. The sparks from it bounced all across the road.
"Well I had to," Briony shouted.
"What the hell for?"
"I didn't like his tie."
"You didn't like his tie?"
"Is there an echo in here? No, I did not like his tie. Jeezus did you not see that hideous yellow thing around his neck? Some guys just don't have any taste whatsoever."
Gary just shook his head and grimaced. He turned another corner and waiting was a row of police cars blocking the street. Thinking quickly, he put the car into reverse and the tires spun in protest before gripping the road and sending that car back the way it came. The following police cars screeched past them as their drivers slammed on their brakes. Putting the car back into gear, Gary turned the wheel and headed down another street.
They'd only been married two weeks and already, Gary was beginning to think he might have made a mistake somewhere. Maybe it was her pink nails scratching his back when they made love that should have warned him. To be fair when they met, Briony did tell him that her life was a little bit wild, Gary couldn't help but feel she'd exaggerated a fair bit.
Briony pulled herself back into the car and sat catching her breath. Gary glanced over at her quickly, "Just come out and admit it."
"Admit what?"
"That you shot him because he was getting on your tits as well as mine."
"No way!"
"And you say I'm the one stuck up my own arse! Do you not understand what you just did?"
"Yeah I killed a bank manager, so what? who hasn't wanted to shoot their bank manager? Tell you what, thats why I shot him... I shot him for all those poor suckers who have to grovel to get a crappy mortgage and pay out insanely high interest."
Gary battered the horn of the car with his hand in frustration, "I'm so tired of this! You can't go around shooting people you don't like. Look at what you did to our lawyer."
"Hey, he was lucky I only shot him through both knees."
"I still don't get it, what did he do to upset you?"
"He suggested I had an anger management problem and he had chubby fingers. I don't trust guys with chubby fingers, it's not natural."
"Always with the chubby fingers!"
"Don't be such a cringing ninny and just drive the bloody car!"
"fine! I'll drive the sodding car!"
Briony crossed her arms and bit her lip, her forehead furrowed in annoyance. Gary drove the car up a kerb and into parkland. Picnickers were forced to run for cover as the car ate up the ground. Dog walkers could only stare at the car and the police vehicles following. Inside the car Briony held on as tight as she could as the car bounced up and down on the grass. Gary's head was already taking a battering from the ceiling. Finally, they emerged out of the park and careened into a main road.
Gary started to say, "Look honey I-"
Briony cut him off before he could go any further, "Oh no, don't you dare call me honey! You only call me that when you want me to do something and it's usually something I'm not gonna like."
"Let's just surrender, they're gonna catch up with us eventually."
"What? Are you crazy? They'll throw us in jail!"
"I know, honey, but we did kill the banker."
"No way am I going to jail... not for that sucker. You know he had it coming!"
"But honey we-"
"No buts we see this to the bitter end. I'm not giving up and neither should you."
There were two loud bangs and the car rolled onto its roof. It scraped along the ground before coming to halt. Gary felt like he'd been hit in the head with a baseball bat and shook his head to clear it. Briony was blinking her eyes as well and she reached for the gun beside her.
A police horn sounded out, "Get out of the car or we will open fire!"
"What do we do?" Gary asked.
Briony cocked the handgun and put a hand on Gary's chin, stroking it affectionately, "I am not going to jail."
"You know I've been married 3 times before I met you and none of the honeymoons I had were as crazy as this one!"
Briony just smiled and quickly kissed him, "I love you honey."
They both crawled out the car and stood unsteadily. The police had them surrounded and marksmen in black armour were taking aim at the two of them. Briony swung her gun around and screamed out, "You pigs ain't taking me alive!"
Bullets riddled the air and the newlyweds slumped to the ground, bloody holes gaping in their bodies.
The End.
