Hanna stood at the door at the top of the stairs, she could see it was unlocked but she hadn't opened it yet. Ethan was on the steps behind her, nervously wondering what she was doing. She put a finger over her mouth, signalling him to keep quiet.
Hanna pressed an ear to the door then pushed it open slowly to confirm what she already knew, there were no other gang members around. She assessed the small room in an instant , glancing from the table and chairs in the centre to the drawers and cabinets on her left, before checking the two other doors.152Please respect copyright.PENANACPzZaORuvh
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4tAal0HOTK
Satisfied they were alone for the moment, she turned her attention to the table in the other corner, piled high with assorted items. She found her clothes, thrown on top, and quickly dressed before starting to search the room.152Please respect copyright.PENANA5R0nHfknsb
152Please respect copyright.PENANAZeJhbSRCaI
Ethan followed her into the room hesitantly, closing the door behind him. Hanna silently pointed out at the table in the corner to him and Ethan started looking through the pile as she continued her search. He found the rest of his clothing then kept searching for his bag .152Please respect copyright.PENANAAYor9ESEH9
152Please respect copyright.PENANAHxmGUJ6vaw
Hanna checked the drawers and cabinets for anything useful. Unfortunately, it seemed like these criminals were smart enough not to leave guns lying around but she found another knife, which she took. She didn't favour the idea of going up against their captors with only two small knives, but her first preference was not to fight at all.152Please respect copyright.PENANAZWV8xk73JT
152Please respect copyright.PENANA0DNkkH9T40
Ethan frowned as he looked through his bag, it had evidently been searched. The one thing he needed was missing. He slung the bag from the table over his shoulder and started searching the room.152Please respect copyright.PENANA1dszJKOk45
152Please respect copyright.PENANAlEFXkEUD50
"We need to go," Hanna whispered to him urgently.152Please respect copyright.PENANAdc46dS7STZ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjS9VP5n04K
Ethan looked like he wanted to protest, but he nodded and followed her. He followed her through one of the doors into a long corridor, with various doors interspersed on either side. Hanna headed right to the end and listened at the door. She heard voices, getting louder. She resisted the urge to curse, they were coming towards this door.152Please respect copyright.PENANAei9UCDbxyv
152Please respect copyright.PENANAd6vM0WGGHz
Hanna tried to use hand signals to tell Ethan to hide but he just looked confused. She sile ntly huffed in frustration and pulled him through the side door closest to them, which seemed to be some kind of storage area filled with crates and drums.152Please respect copyright.PENANA28GQmm0gj1
152Please respect copyright.PENANAu4748aBMa8
"Hide," Hanna whispered to him urgently. He ducked behind one of the large crates while Hanna positioned herself beside the door, ready to attack with the knife if someone came through.152Please respect copyright.PENANAGQUMmfEeee
152Please respect copyright.PENANAnW5aZo9Waj
She heard footsteps behind the door and held her breath.152Please respect copyright.PENANAwCqWBjDPgg
152Please respect copyright.PENANAmCdvga1Ijy
The footsteps stopped. Then started again. The sounds were becoming fainter now. She exhaled silently in relief. She heard the opening and closing of a door.152Please respect copyright.PENANAX81FJcvtzM
152Please respect copyright.PENANApLWeuTxRNb
She opened the door a crack to peek out into the hall, the coast was clear now. She waited a second just to be sure, but all she could hear was her own steady breathing and Ethan's more anxious breaths behind her.152Please respect copyright.PENANAeebyAh2lPX
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6E3NRQ3AzC
"It's clear. Come on," Hanna whispered to Ethan.152Please respect copyright.PENANAZDABAiTFBu
152Please respect copyright.PENANADUmtGd65WP
Hanna went back to the door at the end of the hall, approaching cautiously as Ethan hovered over her shoulder.152Please respect copyright.PENANAXugdouNt6U
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfA76BGVmcF
"Stay back," Hanna whispered, holding the knife at the ready, and Ethan took a step back.152Please respect copyright.PENANAEiXrTsPdVA
152Please respect copyright.PENANA83baDQwMgR
As she cracked open the door, Hanna felt a cold breeze brush past her face, tinged with the scent of dead flesh. She peeked inside and saw a body on the metal table. Or rather, the majority of a body. She knew what this room was. She'd been in many like it before. She froze, her breath stuck in her throat.152Please respect copyright.PENANAfLlWCQk8Vd
152Please respect copyright.PENANAz0J2dLZTdi
"What is it?" Ethan whispered from behind her.152Please respect copyright.PENANASrlbCWcBhZ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAZdGYNXHSFE
His voice almost startled her as it crashed through her train of thought, but she forced herself to stay calm and collected. She didn't want him to see that. She refocused, there weren't any other exits in that room. They'd have to find another way out. "We can't go that way."152Please respect copyright.PENANABF40WfQrBY
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4JyAp2PqAA
"Why not?" Ethan asked in a whisper.152Please respect copyright.PENANA24ufJpA5qM
152Please respect copyright.PENANAaSZZQ4BS7u
"No time, just go," Hanna said hurriedly, pushing him in the other direction. He followed as she cracked open a third door in the hall, which led to a small loading area. Meaning there would be an exit to the road. They'd almost made it out. She saw the exterior door, behind some drums, and started to cross the room quickly but stopped unexpectedly, almost causing Ethan to slam into her.152Please respect copyright.PENANACrWKSjouwr
152Please respect copyright.PENANATbivfwHx9F
"Wait here. There's something I need to do," Hanna spoke at her normal volume.152Please respect copyright.PENANAdDbW6PHqYN
152Please respect copyright.PENANAIWDjFfDRIE
Ethan looked from Hanna to the door, their escape route. "What could possibly be more important-" Ethan started, but then noticed she had already vanished. "Guess I'll wait here then," he muttered to himself.152Please respect copyright.PENANAUqxi9oKoyI
152Please respect copyright.PENANABm6aTcBIrO
He stood there awkwardly, unsure about what to do, watching the door they'd come through. He cracked open the exterior door and saw a parking lot with a few cars and a van. He could just... leave. She'd been crazy enough to head back in. He didn't have to sit around and get caught with her.152Please respect copyright.PENANAjT3Qxvlv9d
152Please respect copyright.PENANALgylSr3Aou
Ethan glanced back at the door to the hallway uncertainly. He noticed some car keys hanging conveniently on a hook next to the door and he grabbed them. This was probably the keys to one of the cars out there. At least this meant they’d have a quick getaway.152Please respect copyright.PENANA102bGSuVPP
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7lHDO4JuNH
Ethan waited, shifting uncertainly, trying to ignore his painful ankle. He decided to give her a few minutes. He owed her at least that much.152Please respect copyright.PENANAG4jO1Edx1e
152Please respect copyright.PENANATcRjNzKjFI
It wasn't long before he smelled something odd. Then she reappeared right away, rushing through the door.152Please respect copyright.PENANAJMN4ZKGJeL
152Please respect copyright.PENANA9MJUXnN6oJ
"Done, we're leaving!" Hanna shouted, racing towards the exit.152Please respect copyright.PENANAMgWddweQRu
152Please respect copyright.PENANACAVAvJWUox
That was all the encouragement he needed. Ethan went out the exit and tried the keys on the van next to the door. Luckily, they were then right keys. He quickly got in the drivers seat and started the vehicle. He looked up to see Hanna busy was trying to jam the exterior door shut with a piece of scrap pipe.152Please respect copyright.PENANAXdN3NCbxH9
152Please respect copyright.PENANAZbINj3jq6T
"We need to go!" Ethan called to her.152Please respect copyright.PENANAmnuj6As877
152Please respect copyright.PENANAG2P8epX2O3
"Dammit," Hanna muttered, abandoning her task to rush around and climb in the passenger side.152Please respect copyright.PENANACG6f99HjOs
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7jkV9UTR0m
Ethan started driving immediately, ignoring the pain in his leg from the motion, with no destination in mind at the moment.152Please respect copyright.PENANALw0Uau304t
152Please respect copyright.PENANAG65F8IvlNF
"Sweet. I didn't know you knew how to steal a car," Hanna commented with a grin.152Please respect copyright.PENANATksMSBFvvJ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxZ8hPFAW0i
Ethan looked at her like she was crazy. "I don't. I found the keys."152Please respect copyright.PENANAjvqitrORJ2
152Please respect copyright.PENANAe57wLV4toG
"Oh, well, still nice work," Hanna remarked.152Please respect copyright.PENANAUAIhiIOdVY
152Please respect copyright.PENANAUciFWSlXwE
Ethan kept his eyes on the road, trying to ignore the growing headache sitting in the back of his mind along with the rest of his injuries. Now, farther from the building, he could see a growing fire consuming the building in the rear view mirror.152Please respect copyright.PENANAZBTNxOnis2
152Please respect copyright.PENANAvVII2bT75I
"Did you start that fire?" Ethan asked accusingly, fearing he already knew the answer.152Please respect copyright.PENANAXaZ6eraJqp
152Please respect copyright.PENANALOtA4gu6UF
"I wasn't going to let them keep killing people," Hanna exclaimed angrily. The was half true. She wasn't going to leave tracks for the Crimson Keys, or worse, her family, to find. She crossed her arms and looked out the window.152Please respect copyright.PENANAPv6eJoZLaw
152Please respect copyright.PENANALkOc4ce1eH
"What if there were other people trapped in there?!" Ethan protested.152Please respect copyright.PENANAuMpLDz6qWe
152Please respect copyright.PENANALhBFq3UnLD
Hanna let out a tired sigh then looked at him sadly. "I assure you, there were no other prisoners in there."152Please respect copyright.PENANACuZciBWtA3
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4src995pgD
"How do you know?" Ethan asked, thrown off balance by her tone.152Please respect copyright.PENANAn5dx5gGvCS
152Please respect copyright.PENANAeOh3GKOloR
"Just trust me," Hanna answered. "We need to get somewhere safe."152Please respect copyright.PENANANJ8XNls0Da
152Please respect copyright.PENANAR4ZUNXnhRH
Ethan could see a sad look in her eyes and bit his tongue, letting the matter drop for now. "I know where to go."152Please respect copyright.PENANAd7xXdqsquQ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAB0Wt8YATgO
"Good, we need to switch cars. We can take mine, it's parked nearby." Hanna directed him to the parking lot and he parked beside her car.152Please respect copyright.PENANAQvf8IPLOc6
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwik0vHaeZ9
Hanna jumped out of the van, then reached under the car and pulled out the keys. She was in high spirits, meanwhile, Ethan was beginning to feel the strain of his injuries catching up to him.152Please respect copyright.PENANAhffC8Hhdt9
152Please respect copyright.PENANA33sHVKbxkJ
Ethan let his forehead rest against the top of the steering wheel for a minute. "Can you drive?"152Please respect copyright.PENANAEQHQGWkDli
152Please respect copyright.PENANAstQMQ8PDAZ
"Sure, no problem," Hanna answered in the middle of searching her car.152Please respect copyright.PENANAt6pEhWHOEO
152Please respect copyright.PENANARKYTMo07wZ
Ethan could feel the adrenaline leaving his system as he got out of the van and into the passenger seat of Hanna's car. Hanna, finally managing to find the first aid kit, pulled it out of the trunk. She brought it around and set it down on the ground.152Please respect copyright.PENANAw9nfkrrZzA
152Please respect copyright.PENANApJtdbGJGSq
"That ankle needs bandaging," Hanna remarked as she went to pull down his sock to look at it.152Please respect copyright.PENANALN8RMVS0JS
152Please respect copyright.PENANAMcdmh10QRZ
Ethan hadn't noticed his sock was soaked with blood. His makeshift bandage had been very... makeshift. He did want her help but he was more worried about what her touching him would start. Even her being this close was difficult.152Please respect copyright.PENANA07jxBPLIsD
152Please respect copyright.PENANAnRrXCATHvb
"No, don't touch me," Ethan said quickly, forcefulness lacing his voice. Hanna pulled back instantly, looking at him with concern. "You drive, I'll do it." It would be less risky for him to do it on his own and he was done with risky things for today.152Please respect copyright.PENANAdx5TSaThjW
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdZvAGr9WAV
Hanna nodded and handed him the first aid kit before getting in the drivers seat. She started driving immediately, to get farther away from the fire and hopefully discourage any pursuers. "Where are we going?"152Please respect copyright.PENANAPvwJDH82Lb
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFc8Yffz3fk
"North. Out of the city," Ethan answered confidently.152Please respect copyright.PENANAPfnCordIeI
152Please respect copyright.PENANACyJn8Mxnij
Hanna changed direction. "Make sure you eat and drink something. There's stuff in the glove compartment. It'll help with the blood loss."152Please respect copyright.PENANA9UiwUIfGL9
152Please respect copyright.PENANAenQL8Ep8Pt
Ethan found the water bottles and power bars Hanna had stashed in there. He dug in, feeling truly hungry for the first time in days. After devouring a couple power bars, he decided to look back though his bag. He tipped the sleeping pills out into his hand.152Please respect copyright.PENANAvEkau0A4cU
152Please respect copyright.PENANA53RFmYYYUS
Ethan looked at the pale pills in his hand, hesitating. He glanced over at Hanna. There was no doubt in his mind that he wouldn't be able to stand the whole trip with her sitting next to him. Yet, he couldn't think of a worse time to knock himself out. He had no idea what might happen while he was asleep. If they'd be followed or any other problems might come up.152Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7jhWYw18v
152Please respect copyright.PENANAStQI9Rnj0J
He took a deep breath. Staying awake through this would be torture. Falling asleep could be dangerous. He closed his eyes and decided he'd have to trust her to get them there.152Please respect copyright.PENANAL8jD4bQ8Pe
152Please respect copyright.PENANAK1ZRqzwiLn
Hanna saw Ethan taking a bunch of pills and washing them down with half a water bottle, also observing the pill bottle was empty. "What's that?"152Please respect copyright.PENANAM0WHdgRMbQ
152Please respect copyright.PENANArqcEZl4A8J
"Something to help me sleep through this ride," Ethan answered before downing the rest of the water bottle.152Please respect copyright.PENANAt4MfijTHEe
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwELBf2ZYaD
Hanna was surprised he hadn't fallen asleep already given how exhausted he appeared.152Please respect copyright.PENANAFmbxNOfKTC
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjkaYJUniCM
"Do you have something to write with?" Ethan asked, looking around the vehicle.152Please respect copyright.PENANA420N3meogH
152Please respect copyright.PENANAi8diVcUrzR
"Check the glove compartment," Hanna answered without taking her eyes off the road.152Please respect copyright.PENANARE0McRJgaw
152Please respect copyright.PENANAObkazEDHY2
Ethan found a notepad and pen then scribbled something down quickly. "This is the address." He handed her a slip of paper. It had an address with another number underneath.152Please respect copyright.PENANAPHt8rPFhvB
152Please respect copyright.PENANA1BTA3Qoc8U
Hanna took the paper, keeping her other hand on the wheel and glanced at it. "This is far. You're sure it's secure?" She placed it in the cup holder.152Please respect copyright.PENANAlf1YegSQUO
152Please respect copyright.PENANAWGZzFdWlHG
"Yes. No one will find us there." Ethan set to fixing up his ankle, it was good he had something to keep his mind occupied. The pain from cleaning it had helped push any thoughts of sex to the back of his mind.152Please respect copyright.PENANAQxzaFJu43m
152Please respect copyright.PENANAb66O3ZOD8r
Hanna glanced at him taping up the ankle. "Can you heal that like you did my bruises?"152Please respect copyright.PENANAKgbETm18FH
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfs2ArcZZRI
"What are you talking about?" Ethan asked, his voice slightly lacking sincerity.152Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ8RL4SnCN
152Please respect copyright.PENANA8epOwLklZE
Hanna suspected he knew exactly what she was talking about. "When I woke up down there, I had some bad bruises but they were gone by the time we left. I assumed you did something to heal them."152Please respect copyright.PENANA7uhRx7Nwjw
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4EHgPLB2vf
"I don't think so, maybe they weren't as bad as you thought?" Ethan suggested, responding quickly.152Please respect copyright.PENANAnmYPPn93ac
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfYyqxxUIvv
"Maybe," Hanna mused, still unconvinced.152Please respect copyright.PENANAuqLsstlD8o
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6iGWZyAJTd
Ethan changed the topic, he could feel the medication beginning to work. "How did you learn how to do that?"152Please respect copyright.PENANAa5loOu3h6F
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFrbOYb9YMy
"Do what?" Hanna asked, a slight smile passing her lips. "I've done a lot of things today."152Please respect copyright.PENANAsMv0pYLWUh
152Please respect copyright.PENANACBld80ujh5
"Fight," Ethan answered dryly. He resisted the urge to say 'murder'.152Please respect copyright.PENANAgh7aMfVsI3
152Please respect copyright.PENANAiRImZdeIV5
The smile disappeared, replaced with a much more serious expression. Hanna paused for a moment before answering. "I've been in fighting classes since I was a kid. Having a weapon is easier." She tried to give him a reassuring, nonthreatening smile. "It also helps to be very, very lucky."152Please respect copyright.PENANATEiuHdZKWr
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsW6qitalhl
"I guess that makes sense," Ethan replied lazily, like he wasn't paying attention to the conversation he started.152Please respect copyright.PENANA48ZvvvkIcf
152Please respect copyright.PENANAO9rzkWh4sc
"I have a gun in the car too," Hanna revealed calmly. "But I'd prefer not to use it." She glanced to the rear view mirror. "I don't think anyone is going to follow us."152Please respect copyright.PENANAQVq3Wd399S
152Please respect copyright.PENANA3iluKOMI98
"Do you know how to use it?" Ethan asked sleepily.152Please respect copyright.PENANABXxmQ9pvYj
152Please respect copyright.PENANAgjZi6gNuYF
"Of course, I wouldn't have it otherwise," Hanna answered dryly.152Please respect copyright.PENANAA0ZG2UMozI
152Please respect copyright.PENANABDe7iHXGn6
"Makes sense." Ethan adjusted to a more comfortable position in his seat.152Please respect copyright.PENANAqkYct6EusQ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAY67MCqsvnA
Hanna took a deep breath. She had questions she needed him to answer before he passed out. Small talk time was over. "Do you want me to call Alice?"152Please respect copyright.PENANAdZfniWX3Gf
152Please respect copyright.PENANAh9oUjU20g5
Ethan was suddenly more alert. "No," he replied firmly, without needing to think about it.152Please respect copyright.PENANAgN2KKNKN5F
152Please respect copyright.PENANAUL7mgDIqqu
That answer took Hanna by complete surprise. She'd expected him to at least consider asking for help from his ex-girlfriend. Her stomach dropped, realizing this was just another thing that she'd screwed up. "I'd explain what happened, I'm sure she'd help you-"152Please respect copyright.PENANAmHTlcMHP88
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjN8wN1bWm2
"She wouldn't," Ethan interrupted.152Please respect copyright.PENANAId3M7QW8Fa
152Please respect copyright.PENANAyoYEeyMXGJ
"You wouldn't prefer to have someone you know well with you for this?" Hanna asked. She waited for him to respond but he just sat there, staring out the window. She bit her lip nervously. "You two broke up, it wasn't even cheating. Plus it was in the middle of heat too, she can't get too upset over it."152Please respect copyright.PENANA0DuYTMGTTe
152Please respect copyright.PENANAz3nQ8GmtGD
Ethan exhaled slowly. "She doesn't know I'm Charax."152Please respect copyright.PENANAnOPk8uNHeP
152Please respect copyright.PENANA03fMCDtKf1
"You could tell her?" Hanna suggested reluctantly, trying to hide her own disdain for the idea.152Please respect copyright.PENANA61L7tzC3ot
152Please respect copyright.PENANAVuDn0IEVRK
Ethan shook his head adamantly. "She doesn't know and it needs to stay that way."152Please respect copyright.PENANAGjfyXXtvAU
152Please respect copyright.PENANAvNelHvOdhe
"She might... understand." Hanna wanted to at least given him the option. Maybe we could share, Hanna thought. She shook the thought of a threesome out of her head, this was a bad time for that sort of idea.152Please respect copyright.PENANAOdRGkBb8uk
152Please respect copyright.PENANAM8axIB4dnh
Ethan sighed, resting his elbow on the passenger door. "You don't know her. I wouldn't use the term 'understanding' to describe her."152Please respect copyright.PENANACdWVEyJk4q
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYdmpcYSeBq
Hanna didn't know Alice that well, personally, but she'd dug up enough information on the older woman that she felt like she knew Alice. Maybe there was something she didn't know, it seemed odd that he'd reject his old girlfriend so easily. "But-"152Please respect copyright.PENANAFx4BauvZWQ
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZzNcm5fcO
Ethan cut her off before she could even get started. "You don't get it. We broke up because I knew the heat was coming on. She would have freaked out when I wouldn't have been able to hide it from her."152Please respect copyright.PENANAsBjfPXDTu0
152Please respect copyright.PENANAbPtowEBQER
"You won't know until you talk to her," Hanna stated hesitantly. You aren't sabotaging yourself, you're just giving him a choice, she thought in a poor attempt to reassure herself that she was doing the right thing.152Please respect copyright.PENANAB7WAsV7hCS
152Please respect copyright.PENANAY7MKEGVphN
Ethan scowled. "I'm not going to bet my life on that. On her."152Please respect copyright.PENANAy0IKKpc3s8
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFOeUjLd7E9
"You're sure?" Hanna asked softly.152Please respect copyright.PENANAtcTDtptLJZ
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4a6jvQGjyT
"Yes. Just drop it," Ethan replied confidently.152Please respect copyright.PENANAZsiAyRO1j3
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwD66vHk3QK
"You'd rather have me?" Hanna asked in a small voice.152Please respect copyright.PENANAARLHqOqEOM
152Please respect copyright.PENANA9LQX0hhNPn
Ethan turned to look out the side window, not paying attention to the passing streetlights. "You knew what you were getting into."152Please respect copyright.PENANAgMn8WlOy3w
152Please respect copyright.PENANA5BaYMNvZF2
Not much of a yes, Hanna thought uncomfortably.
Ethan rubbed his temple. "I'm falling asleep, if this is a problem can we talk about this later?"152Please respect copyright.PENANAvao4uHpfze
152Please respect copyright.PENANAOzqZA0QFnT
"Uh, sure," Hanna agreed tentatively.152Please respect copyright.PENANAO9h7cF9Err
152Please respect copyright.PENANA0N8pTgHQWI
"Don't call anyone, don't tell anyone. Please just go here to this address and wake me up when we get there," Ethan told her, still facing the side window.152Please respect copyright.PENANAc8B8T6qeCz
152Please respect copyright.PENANACh2qly0lYs
"Okay." Hanna started driving silently.152Please respect copyright.PENANAGCjaZ6lT4m
152Please respect copyright.PENANAc5iIbnBdwM
After a few minutes, Hanna noticed Ethan still wasn't asleep. He actually seemed to be getting more agitated. Didn't he just take a handful of sleeping pills? Hanna wondered.152Please respect copyright.PENANAjyZP3XSu6E
152Please respect copyright.PENANA9UzpJIXkFF
A while later, Hanna noticed his nervous fidgeting. "Everything alright?"152Please respect copyright.PENANAvl9kLrZH9z
152Please respect copyright.PENANALc80qtcdeI
"No," Ethan answered irritably.152Please respect copyright.PENANA73oln2Ftye
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPzoVPPm8Kl
Hanna glanced at home with concern. "Do you need me to stop?"152Please respect copyright.PENANAFU6nBO5d6V
152Please respect copyright.PENANAvgM8FCDNIT
"What I need is for these drugs to kick in," Ethan said irritably, leaning his head back and pinching the bridge of his nose. It was difficult to ignore her presence now. The confined space didn't help either.152Please respect copyright.PENANAyV5PAroIrK
152Please respect copyright.PENANAmfcgzN2rf3
Hanna glanced over at him quickly before turning her eyes back to the road. She wasn't keen on stopping in the middle of the trip for sex. She'd noticed how he looked... troubled even though they'd only been driving for half an hour. So she supposed it was a good thing he would be sleeping through the rest of the trip.152Please respect copyright.PENANA4XDZxmu5zW
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwVCCYDyQzo
Quickly enough after that, he fell into a deep sleep. His head was turned away from her but she could see the steady rise and fall of his chest. She thought he looked five years younger already, despite the bruises peeking out from under his clothing. Those reminded her that his recovery wasn't going to be as easy as a good night's sleep, in contrast to her own, given she felt almost completely healed.152Please respect copyright.PENANAwsE1otyvbI
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwXVzlhvLqU
She hadn't noticed the wheel drifting as she had been looked at him. She suddenly jerked it back so they were driving straight again. Eyes on the road, she thought to herself. She doubled back and made some random turns before finally plugging the address into the GPS.
