Chapter 8
You say it best...
Kari tore down the Tokyo Streets on her bike, smoke coming from the tyres. Following the trail of the coach. Her tears were blurring her vision under her helmet, and she couldn't wipe them away. she had a new determination now, a new goal.
Davis.
She had to find him; she had to tell him how she felt. Before it was too late.
She skidded round a corner; the bikes back wheel sliding out behind her. Flashing down the street, she checked the roads leading off to the sides, searching for the distinctive colour scheme of the HFC coach.
Flying down the road, her bikes fittings appeared to be just one small silver blur in a mess of black. Then...
There it was! The HFC coach was ahead of her, on the out of town road. It turned a corner, and she sped up. She knew that street, it was a two mile long road. She followed the Coach, and as she turned the corner she saw the vehicle speed up, it's high powered engine moving it at speeds a normal coach couldn't go.
She revved the engine, leant low over the handlebars, and powered forward. Skirting round the cars, she closed the distance easily. She sped up, and about halfway down the two-mile stretch, the coach came to the traffic lights that allowed the crossroad to go through. Kari felt relief rush through her. She knew she would catch up now. As she watched, the lights changed to red, as the coach slipped into the lane that allowed it to go the rest of the way down the road. Kari revved the engine again, and sped forward.
A siren started up behind her.
A police cruiser.
Kari looked around, her eyes widening in horror. The cop in the passenger seat pointed twice towards the side of the road in an unmistakable gesture.
Pull over.
Kari looked forward at the HFC coach. The traffic was still flowing over the crossroad.
This couldn't happen.
Not now!
No...
She twisted the handlebars over towards the left, and pulled over to the side of the street. The cruiser pulled in behind her.
No...
The cops got out of their vehicle, and walked over to her as she pulled off her helmet, her hair falling around her shoulders. If the cops recognised her, they gave no sign of it.
"Do you have any idea of the speed you were driving at ma'am?"
Asked the first cop, a short woman of about twenty-five. Kari shook her head.
"I thought not. I'm afraid we're going to have to give you a ticket, unless you have a reasonable explanation."
Yes, I have a reasonable explanation. The man I love is about to leave my life forever, unless I stop that HFC coach at the traffic lights.
"No officer. Sorry."
The second cop studied her face.
"Hey, I know you, you're one of those Digidestined kids, aintcha?" Kari nodded.
"You kids did us one hell of a service." He looked at his partner. "D'ya think we can let her off Mai? I don't think she would be doing something like this unless it was important."
His partner studied Kari's face, uncertainly.
The traffic lights changed to amber.
As if noticing the panic in the younger woman's eyes, the second cop nodded.
"Go and catch up with him. If you let whoever he is get away, I bloody WILL pull you in."
The lights turned to green. The coach started to move.
Kari looked at her in shock.
"How did you..."
"I may be a cop, but I ain't stupid. GO."
Kari turned and ran for her bike.
The second cop turned to look at his partner.
"Why did you do that Mai? I didn't think that you would for a second."
Officer Mai Konicho didn't look at him. She stared after Kari, as the bike took off again.
"I'm a romantic at heart. But if you tell anyone, you'll wake up spitting out teeth."
They turned and walked back to their cruiser.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ----------------------------
Kari resumed the chase, down the road. The coach had a head start on her, but she wasn't going to give up now. The bike roared under her, and she sped down the road, keeping under the limit this time. The Harley's engine pulsed as she neared the end of the end of the two-mile stretch.
The coach was nowhere in sight.
She revved up, risking the cop's anger again, and rushed forward. She reached the end of the road, and looked both ways. She couldn't see the coach. She turned left.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ----------------------------
The opposite direction to the one Kari was racing in. Davis looked up.
"John?"
Tanner was playing poker with Veemon. And getting beaten. It was a good thing they were playing for matchsticks, even though it looked like Tanner was going to need the title deeds to several small forests soon. The older man looked up.
"Yeah?"
"Have you ever had the feeling you've made the wrong decision?"
Tanner sighed.
"All the time. Why do you think I'm still playing with this little blue demon? Is this about that girl."
Davis nodded.
"Kari. I'm getting that feeling right now. Like maybe I should have properly taken the time to tell her how I feel. I mean, I just blurted it out once, but..."
"Davis?"
The younger man glanced at him.
"Hmm?"
"If I know anything about being in love, And I'm still in love with my wife after 12 years of marriage, Then... Kari, was it? Well, she didn't need to be told. Some things don't need to be said to be understood. I think she knows perfectly well how you feel, so don't worry."
Davis lowered his head. Then spoke sadly.
"How much do you love her, John?"
The other man smiled, and Veemon noticed that his eyes took on a faraway look.
"More and more each day Davis. More and more each day."

Kari carried on riding down the left hand fork of the road. Eventually, she pulled over to a lay-by, and burst into tears.
