As Karyn was firing at their pursuers, Jon tried to avoid collision. His heart was trying to jump out of his chest and stopped few times as he avoided certain death at the last seconds. They already caused two or three accident by scaring the others drivers on the road. But soon they will get out of the town and would be out of the reach of the wish.
"Can you stop stroking the weel every 2 seconds ?" Yelled Karyn "I'm trying to kill our pursuers here !"
"I'm trying to keep us alive if you don't mind so get rid of them already !" Yelled back Jon.
But few seconds later Karyn get back in the car and took back the weel, throwing the gun at Jon.
"Empty..." She said.
They were now driving out of town between the field of Barn's farm and the Golden river, when a second car came out of the corns plants and hit them with full force. The car litteraly jump out of the road in a deafening sound of wringed steel and breaking glass. It falls few meters further down in the river on the side of the road.
Jon was wake up of his blackout by the cold water throwed at his face as the car was sinking in the flow of the river. The opacity of the liquid prevented him to see if Karyn was okay and he was enough in trouble to be preocupied by her safety. He unlock his seatbelt, but his legs was stucks between the twisted door and the board. Jon pulled them as hard as he could feeling the cold water covering all of his body. The car was almost enterely underwater and Jon tried to not panic as he felt breathless. In few seconds he will need to breath and he was still completely stuck.
At the limit of total despair he grab the suround of the car and pull himself with the last of his strengh. Finaly his legs was free and he could get out of the car. His muscles was hurting him, he couldn't feel his legs and he started to feel the symptoms of air privation. So with the energy of despair and the will of surviving he swam to the surface and took a releaving deep breath.
He never felt so happy to breath, but he still needed to reach the side of the river before the flow drown him. So again with a will he never though he had he swam to the life-saving ground.
When he succefully get there, he layed on his back a moment trying to recover from his burning muscles and lungs. All his body was in pain, but the good news was the fact he felt his leg again.
Then suddenly a big sound of splashing is heard close to him. With a quick look he could see Karyn as wet as him. Her sweat-shirt was completely teared appart and fell showing her arms and shoulders covered by small and big scars like if she had fought a bear with her bare hands. She had a cut on her head and blood on her face, there was blood on her left hand but he didn't see any wound.
"Don't stop moving, you'll risk hypothermia or being killed by the watchers, or both..." She said breathless.
"I can't move, I'm in pain..." Jon said plaintively.
Karyn helped him to getting back on his feets and make him walk by force.
"You have to if you want to live !" Karyn said with a strong cheerful.
