From outside, the loud blaring voice came again. "We have you surrounded! Do not try to escape! Come out with your hands up on the count of seven!"
"Seven?" Layla made a face. "What kind of police are these people? They can't count to ten or what?"
"ONE!"
"Layla! We have to go, it's the only right thing to do." Nerdy breathed in deeply.
"TWO!"
"No man! I ain't going out there! I aint going to get arrested! You go if you want! I have nothing to do with that!"
"THREE!"
"I can't! They'll arrest me! I didn't do a thing. If you came with me, we could explain everything. They'll have to understand, you have to trust me Lulu."
"THREE POINT ONE FOUR ONE FIVE NINE TWO SIX FIVE THREE FIVE EIGHT NINE SEVEN NINE...Ouch! Yo, what was that for?"
"Something is seriously wrong with that police," Layla commented.
"Umm. Yes, I'd be inclined to agree except that I actually find that quite intriguing." Nerdy tapped his chin thoughtfully.
"FOUR."
"In three what? Don't waste my time, we need to get out of ere!" Layla looked around. "Ok, there's a side door over there, where does that go!" She rushed to it and then squeaked.
"Oh my God, there's a big, scary looking cop over there with a big gun!"
"FIVE."
Nerdy peered through the little window set in the door and winced. Indeed, a tall and well-muscled man was crouching outside the door, as if ready to storm it.
They backed away from the door. "Right, so that's out of the question. So what do we do..."
"CRACK!" Nerdy spun around at the sound of breaking glass. Layla was standing in front the window with a chair held aloft.
"I got it Romeyo! We'll escape this way! They won't expect a thing. Look there's bushes right down here around the window. We can sneak through the bushes and run into the forest over there."
"What the..."
"SIX!"
"C'mon! Quick!" Layla crawled through the windows and jumped off the windowsill into the bushes below.
"I am never coming back to UK in my life, ever!" Nerdy declared, and with that, he jumped through the window.
"Romeyo! Over here!" Layla crawled through the bushes. Nerdy crawled after her.
"I'm so smart! We'll get out free in enough time to get home and watch Hollyoaks!" Layla grinned to herself.
"Layla, you know I love you, just at the very moment err, I think I'd rather be doing something I usually hate, like...like...eating tofu."
"Ew, don't mention that stuff man! That's disgusting. You want me to puke on you or what?"
"Freeze!" Suddenly a voice spoke right behind them.
"Oh my God, run!" Layla took off like a marathon runner, with Nerdy right behind her.
They raced through the foliage of the forest surrounding the campus. They could hear their follower's footsteps doggedly catching up to them.
As they hit a downward hill, Layla spun around and pulling out her gun, shot towards their pursuer. She tripped, going down, and crashing into Nerdy, they both went down over a steep decline.
"Aahhhhhh!" Layla landed on Nerdy.
Both breathing hard, they looked at one another.
"You know Nerdy, you look so cute like this too." She grinned at him.
"What? Layla, this isn't the place or the time..."
Suddenly a body rolled down the incline above them and dropped on them. Layla screamed and rolled out of the way.
"Oh my God!" She looked at the body.
"Oh my God." Nerdy looked at the body and looked at Layla. "This is the police officer. You shot him!"
"No! I didn't mean to kill him!" Layla kneeled down frantically and poked the police officer. "Wake up. You have to wake up. Oh my God!"
"Seven?" Layla made a face. "What kind of police are these people? They can't count to ten or what?"
"ONE!"
"Layla! We have to go, it's the only right thing to do." Nerdy breathed in deeply.
"TWO!"
