Tumblr Academy reimagined

I sighed softly to myself as he headed off.

((Wait isn't he like 12 how is he gonna buy a car XD))

((Okay 14 but still under driving age))

Liv: "we should probably go with him."
((He's paying with cash most of the time people don't pay much attention if you give them enough cash))

((True))
"Agreed," I replied, heading after him.

I followed him with Alistair and Kira, Artemis was talking to a salesman.

I walked up behind him and stopped without saying anything, just listening to the conversation. The salesman's eyes glanced up at us as we headed over and Artemis glanced back at us.

Artemis: I studied than man a bit and pulled my phone out to search his name, "Well from what I can find you need all the money you can get right now. So how about this I'll pay the full price for the car along with enough for your wife's medical expenses for the rest of the year." I watched his eyes widen and smirked, "So I'm assuming we have a deal?" He nodded and I paid him, then he gave me the keys, "This stays off the books otherwise I can make life very difficult for you." He nodded again and I led the way to the car.

I followed after, slightly irritated by the bribery. Part of my job been to catch thieves back in Araulen, and Artemis would definitely be one of those thieves.

"What? I paid for the car, I just didn't want him to put it on the records."

I shrugged. I wasn't fully aware of the way things worked in this world anyway. In my world you could usually ask not to be put on records or give an extra royal and they'd be sure to keep you off records. That didn't compare to paying someone's medical bills for a year, or looking up information about a salesman.

"Plus that really wasn't much money to me. Also I don't drive so which can?" I asked, Liv raised her hand immediately.

We all piled into the car, me taking a back window seat.

Liv: I grinned and got in the driver's seat Artemis claimed the passenger seat.

"So, how long until we're at California?"

"Almost 20 hours if we don't stop at all so probably a couple days if we want to eat and sleep."

"Then we should get going now," I told her, becoming more and more impatient.

"Wow do you really want me dead that much?" I started driving and handed Artemis the map.

I glanced at her uncertainly, trying to gauge whether or not she was joking. "No." I replied. "What I do want is to get back to my training and my few friends," I told her. "My world is more simple than this one, and I'd like to get back to simplicity."

I nodded, "Yeah, I want everything to go back to normal."

"Normal sounds nice." I stared out the window as the car started forward. At first I attempted to keep everything in my mind and remember everything outside, but the silence in the car and my stress drained me. I ended up dozing off, my head resting against the window.

Artemis reached over and turned on the radio.

I startled awake as music started playing.

I pulled my gun out and took the ammo out so I could clean it.

He messed with it until he found a station he liked.

Everyone treated the music as normal so eventually I leaned back in my seat again, closing my eyes and trying to doze for a bit.
