Chapter 450: The Most Boring Chase
"You’re Ethan Hunt," Talia’s eyes twinkled in the moonlight. The moment she mentioned the main character of the movie: Mission Impossible, she noticed his eyes brightening up.
"You have a motorbike with a pretty lady in the back, there is a helicopter, and a long road ahead of us although it has no traffic... Fred, you know you won’t have another chance like this to realistically enact a helicopter chase."
She knew this will convince him to race through the road. She was someone who never put herself in risky environments. Her everyday life had enough risks with all the death threats she grew up with and she never gets involved with any extreme sports to get an adrenalin rush.
But that day, she felt like it. The secret Arthur revealed had a great part in it. She wanted to get past the hurt; to move on. She wanted the racing wind blowing on her face and the adrenalin rush to help her focus on future – their marriage.
"Hold on," Arthur said.
He decided to do this. Not because it is one of his childhood fantasies (which boy in the world hasn’t dreamt of being the main character of an action movie?), but because he could see it in her eyes.
She wants this; she needs this. And as a man, he should provide her what she needs.
The distinctive sound of the powerful engine roared in the empty roads as a helicopter followed them. Both Talia and Arthur were excited as they flew on the road.
Talia removed her helmet and her hair danced freely in the air. Closing her eyes, she extended her arms out. As the high-velocity wind hit her, she felt her sadness getting washed away and she started feeling light.
"Your Royal Highness, Lord Rodenberg... please slow down... There is a curve ahead... Although there isn’t any traffic, you should stop at red lights, Lord Rodenberg... There is a truck approaching 100 meters to your twelve. Please be alert..."
The most polite police chase in history brought her mood down. She thought it was her grandpa up in the air, advising them.
