Giant Psychic

*I will write this in short chapters than longer ones as I'm trying to finish up the Giant Scientist.*

2158, the current year of Earth.

"Mama, where are we going?" a child said.

"We have to leave." the mother said. "There's nothing for us here. Our government is corrupt and we need to escape from your father. He's abusive and I can't fogive him for what he did."

As they looked around the last bits of their old home in the Pacific Northwest, they got into a van and left for the night. This will be the last time, they'll see the beautiful and peaceful Olympia again. With what happened in the last five years, the mother knew she and her daughter needs a new start. As her daughter slept, the mother turned around to face her closest friend, the owner of the van.

"Christian." she said. "How's your wife and kids?"

"They're good, Sashi." Christian said. "My son, Ethan has just got accepted in a prestige school in the East Coast. My daughter is doing well in England and my wife has gotten an award from the music school she's been in."

"That's good." Sashi said. "My daughter, Cecilia, and I are leaving for Busan, South Korea."

"I heard." Christian said. "Why didn't you leave Cecil when you had the chance?"

"I did." Sashi. "I ended the relationship with Cecil five years ago. Didn't your wife tell you?"

"No." Christian said. "I was too busy to even hear about it."

"I told her about it." Sashi said. "I won't go into all the details."

Christian said noting as he continue to drive Sashi and Cecilia to the airport. As the cold air slowly breezed into the back, she tried to keep her red hair in place. Sashi couldn't shake off what Cecil did to her and making sure no one noticed, she secretly took off her right prosthetic leg. This stump on her right leg below her knee will forever stay there because of him. Putting the leg back on before Christian sees it, Sashi looks out of the window. It was her eccentric mother, Luciana, who got her into the idea of moving to a different country to start a new life.

"Sashi." Christian said.

"What?" Sashi said. "Christian, what's wrong?"

He didn't reply as he turned up the radio to they can hear the news report of a prison riot in Erehon, including the escape of a few prisoners and a murder of a fellow prisoner whom had been previously abusive to his ex-girlfriend and his daughter. Not taking more of this, Sashi turns off the radio because she couldn't hear more of it. Especially before she and Cecilia were supposed to depart for South Korea.

"Well you might as well know." Christian said. "Cecil is dead. He died during his attempt to escape."

"That's not what I wanted to hear." Sashi said.

"Do you want to tell me what happened?" Christian said.

"No." Sashi said. "I want to protect my family from this. Just keep driving. The sooner my daughter and I leave for Busan, the better."

Christian kept driving to the airport to drop Sashi and Cecilia off. As a childhood friend of hers, he feels that she should tell him what happened prior to this. At the same time, Christian understood why Sashi refused to talk about it. Cecil had abused her the same way that her previous ex-boyfriends had done. The thought if it makes Christian so sick to do what he did to Sashi, it was unforgivable.

"Sashi." Christian said. "What were you doing taking off your leg?"

Sashi froze for a moment. She thought he didn't see her take off her prosthetic leg while they were at one of the red lights. She couldn't bear to tell thim the truth about the whole ordeal that she went through. Sashi had been through enough after what Cecil had done and she doesn't need Christian to endure what had happened. Her brother, Hal, went to jail with her ex for assault and battering.

"Just checking on the parts." Sashi said. "I need to see if it's still working."

Once arriving at the airport, she and Cecilia grabbed their things and said their farewells to Christian before heading inside to check in. Security has been up lately even despite having less in 8 million people left in this world. There are a lot of demented people in this world, involved in the criminal world, which Sashi doesn't want herself and Cecilia involved in. Once checked in, they had to go through security patdowns, screenings and even showing their pasport and tickets.

"This is the final leg." Sashi said. "There's no turning back now."
