Alice looks at Det Craig and says calmly, "We were trying to stay out of trouble. We were just taking a cab to the airport and they attacked us without provocation."

"She's right, we were just headed for our ride home when that truck broadsided us..." Jason started.
Headed home a little quickly, aren't we?" The detective asked.
" None of your business." Jason snapped.
The detective smiled, " But someone tried to kill you, that makes it my business."
" Fine, get our bags out of the trunk of the cab so you can give us a ride to the airport to make sure we leave." Jason was getting agitated.
"That's not a bad idea." Det. Craig smiled, " Any ideas how he found you?"

Alice starts to say that she didn't know how they'd been found when she realizes something. "Jason went to the local pub with my father to have a drink the other night. It's possible someone saw him then."

the detective nodded. " Good place to start. I'm afraid I'll have to place security on your family for a bit, Miss Weatherby, for their own safety." He spoke to a patrolman, who returned a moment later with their suitcases. I will give you that ride if you like though?"
Jason scowled," He's just making sure I leave."
The detective grinned. " Get in the car."

Alice isn't happy about the idea of having her parents guarded, but recognizes the necessity of it. 'I'd rather they be safe' she thinks to herself. Alice nods at the offer of a ride and says, "Regardless of the reason, thank you for offering to drive is, Detective." Alice gets into the car with Jason and waits for the detective to head toward the airport.

The detective got in and started to drive. After a moment, he asked," So why such a short visit?"

Alice is quiet for a moment before replying, deciding to be as honest as she can be. "A friend of ours lost his girlfriend in a terrible accident. We're going home to give him moral support."

"I see." Said the detective as he drove, taking his time and glancing in the mirror often.
"Alice, I bet your grandmother drives faster than this." Jason sputtered.
"Yes, but does your grandmother have to worry about being followed?" Det. Craig said. " There's a green land rover thats been a two cars back since we left the accident scene."
Jason glanced at his watch, " We don't have time to fool around if we're going to make our flight."
"And I'm trying to prevent the airport from having a shootout." The detective snapped.

Alice is dismayed to see they are being followed again, but not entirely surprised. "All right," Alice says to the detective, what should we do? Is it possible to lose them?"

All of a sudden, Jason got one of his cocky smirks, looking at Alice. He drew her close enough to whisper in her ear," What's the range on that telewhatsit of yours? If you choke Rags, I bet you can crank a steering wheel easily "

Alice looks thoughtful and uses telepathy to reply to Jason, 'I'm not sure if I can.' Alice admits 'but I'll give it a shot.' Alice then looks back as if looking for the car in question and concentrates, trying to see if she could control the steering wheel or not.

As Alice concentrated, she could picture the steering wheel in the other car. The driver had a loose grip on it with one hand.

Once Alice was able to picture the steering wheel in the other car, she concentrates and turns the steering wheel hard in an attempt to cause the driver to lose control of the car.

The driver had clearly been unprepared. Det. Craig did a double take in the mirror, " What the bloody hell?" as the blare of car horns could be heard.
Glancing behind them, the pursuing car had veered hard into the path of an oncoming taxi, and neither were going anywheres.
The detective muttered disbeleiving, " did you...?"

Alice looks back at the detective and asks "Did you...?"
