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.132Please respect copyright.PENANApRzB3koFnK
132Please respect copyright.PENANAYzU3dnG3a8
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAfoJeCkn3qX
132Please respect copyright.PENANA7kAOcLgrHr
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 .132Please respect copyright.PENANAKJcS8z3oI6
132Please respect copyright.PENANAx24dGwsTYo
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANASsVx16ucO6
132Please respect copyright.PENANAVPwybv6Rn1
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAZvQRDtl2KN
132Please respect copyright.PENANAEf7Fx2Y7LT
"We need to go," Hanna whispered to him urgently.132Please respect copyright.PENANAuBuc6zrqqR
132Please respect copyright.PENANAxgmVdYln8M
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAj2crd5bnU7
132Please respect copyright.PENANAi56B11cWRd
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAwN1OgeXNBe
132Please respect copyright.PENANABWysGsNDYJ
"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.132Please respect copyright.PENANALn3j4NGZ1A
132Please respect copyright.PENANApBNJsFwr34
She heard footsteps behind the door and held her breath.132Please respect copyright.PENANAftHWzEPKpZ
132Please respect copyright.PENANAotlXkyTNtj
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAVISsKMXwVH
132Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ82Ny4Izv
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAHsmOL2slwg
132Please respect copyright.PENANAKySed3sHST
"It's clear. Come on," Hanna whispered to Ethan.132Please respect copyright.PENANAOrP1yen7Bw
132Please respect copyright.PENANA9shZ3cqxfB
Hanna went back to the door at the end of the hall, approaching cautiously as Ethan hovered over her shoulder.132Please respect copyright.PENANAvBNydEruld
132Please respect copyright.PENANAGHYkxRprpD
"Stay back," Hanna whispered, holding the knife at the ready, and Ethan took a step back.132Please respect copyright.PENANAIrhqXpR09R
132Please respect copyright.PENANAdQubFgtafB
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAuFCXoqlBlh
132Please respect copyright.PENANAkLC3rvJzo1
"What is it?" Ethan whispered from behind her.132Please respect copyright.PENANAhIeidQsV2m
132Please respect copyright.PENANA8BJ14O5vbT
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."132Please respect copyright.PENANAkKZGOnCyXN
132Please respect copyright.PENANAWjxWemnmks
"Why not?" Ethan asked in a whisper.132Please respect copyright.PENANAGbsb9ew7V5
132Please respect copyright.PENANAv2o5PNTfAw
"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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAlHvLiqpsKH
132Please respect copyright.PENANA6yc3bM1HvR
"Wait here. There's something I need to do," Hanna spoke at her normal volume.132Please respect copyright.PENANAqZMQlUrF7B
132Please respect copyright.PENANACKYtI205Qd
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANA5oUGaXOdCE
132Please respect copyright.PENANAVmjOssvlZh
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAKpMEk9joZc
132Please respect copyright.PENANAfyKxPezssH
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAXJOffHp912
132Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5FZQgVKQ1
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAmHGDT7mggT
132Please respect copyright.PENANA2UJCtDlHTF
It wasn't long before he smelled something odd. Then she reappeared right away, rushing through the door.132Please respect copyright.PENANAmi21nYSLhc
132Please respect copyright.PENANABNWRLe7iOG
"Done, we're leaving!" Hanna shouted, racing towards the exit.132Please respect copyright.PENANAZRt5wU1wiu
132Please respect copyright.PENANAdpJ573hyq4
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANALntb46banU
132Please respect copyright.PENANAryUv45LUyD
"We need to go!" Ethan called to her.132Please respect copyright.PENANAMSaGJ8Qjda
132Please respect copyright.PENANAhWDSNNxFzg
"Dammit," Hanna muttered, abandoning her task to rush around and climb in the passenger side.132Please respect copyright.PENANAh6FPjNNNDd
132Please respect copyright.PENANAgCOVCSgAIc
Ethan started driving immediately, ignoring the pain in his leg from the motion, with no destination in mind at the moment.132Please respect copyright.PENANAVwXF365ntC
132Please respect copyright.PENANAqggg8XC7N2
"Sweet. I didn't know you knew how to steal a car," Hanna commented with a grin.132Please respect copyright.PENANAlrVWWO9Mdr
132Please respect copyright.PENANAO48JxtwUzi
Ethan looked at her like she was crazy. "I don't. I found the keys."132Please respect copyright.PENANA8e5XrvBM0r
132Please respect copyright.PENANAdZDeqgEaej
"Oh, well, still nice work," Hanna remarked.132Please respect copyright.PENANAFLD9hrctWy
132Please respect copyright.PENANAf0ugqD5dZO
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAte9o4KeLBH
132Please respect copyright.PENANAGYkfXGpJ2s
"Did you start that fire?" Ethan asked accusingly, fearing he already knew the answer.132Please respect copyright.PENANAFwNT2DedVU
132Please respect copyright.PENANAfaRJB3eIsp
"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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAdl9iDmQF2z
132Please respect copyright.PENANAEpYtNlo9zg
"What if there were other people trapped in there?!" Ethan protested.132Please respect copyright.PENANAWzWQAgFwdK
132Please respect copyright.PENANALMHRK0RIPw
Hanna let out a tired sigh then looked at him sadly. "I assure you, there were no other prisoners in there."132Please respect copyright.PENANAn7Exs9Xi2O
132Please respect copyright.PENANAVnR6oDfJcN
"How do you know?" Ethan asked, thrown off balance by her tone.132Please respect copyright.PENANAgVNac1nRYg
132Please respect copyright.PENANARGSiDO3L6A
"Just trust me," Hanna answered. "We need to get somewhere safe."132Please respect copyright.PENANAE5TLKpARMI
132Please respect copyright.PENANAHQIUduXpBq
Ethan could see a sad look in her eyes and bit his tongue, letting the matter drop for now. "I know where to go."132Please respect copyright.PENANAOn1lPB8kY2
132Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ32y1LgEG
"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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAXUnAb6spva
132Please respect copyright.PENANAgjIZyfpjG3
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAzYQKvTcgqE
132Please respect copyright.PENANAPnBZandeBF
Ethan let his forehead rest against the top of the steering wheel for a minute. "Can you drive?"132Please respect copyright.PENANAQVJb4QHkFN
132Please respect copyright.PENANA35J3J3PSJs
"Sure, no problem," Hanna answered in the middle of searching her car.132Please respect copyright.PENANAE8UOMgdlEF
132Please respect copyright.PENANAInF25YnWAS
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAayyqVcWufd
132Please respect copyright.PENANA39c9s1FkjG
"That ankle needs bandaging," Hanna remarked as she went to pull down his sock to look at it.132Please respect copyright.PENANAA4h2HtjhMZ
132Please respect copyright.PENANAWgjBdHWZnU
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAZveXSFvxDF
132Please respect copyright.PENANAJzJ7zPdybi
"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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAB4JUl6ieK6
132Please respect copyright.PENANA74iL8nq7Kd
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?"132Please respect copyright.PENANADUsO4dya8K
132Please respect copyright.PENANAr6AJLlRNB2
"North. Out of the city," Ethan answered confidently.132Please respect copyright.PENANAryiw3whhrR
132Please respect copyright.PENANA9KcBJe8ZdF
Hanna changed direction. "Make sure you eat and drink something. There's stuff in the glove compartment. It'll help with the blood loss."132Please respect copyright.PENANAIDWPIp8g2e
132Please respect copyright.PENANAcbgM0Ae4th
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANA2sY2Pf4jEp
132Please respect copyright.PENANA6PWzPWsLiq
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAnuP5H0HxlO
132Please respect copyright.PENANA3FS7wHmxh1
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANARzdSIiM2pU
132Please respect copyright.PENANAnT6BzHfASM
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?"132Please respect copyright.PENANAq1HkNyUT2l
132Please respect copyright.PENANAokZm7D6MYc
"Something to help me sleep through this ride," Ethan answered before downing the rest of the water bottle.132Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3raKSqTUL
132Please respect copyright.PENANAYWVGvZD8g7
Hanna was surprised he hadn't fallen asleep already given how exhausted he appeared.132Please respect copyright.PENANAK9wo6GHdv8
132Please respect copyright.PENANAsEO9kf11BE
"Do you have something to write with?" Ethan asked, looking around the vehicle.132Please respect copyright.PENANAhkjOz6LGDj
132Please respect copyright.PENANAyLDW9OmIVd
"Check the glove compartment," Hanna answered without taking her eyes off the road.132Please respect copyright.PENANAXP2i9KQyHW
132Please respect copyright.PENANAEkgrEewda3
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7JP7vDmYd
132Please respect copyright.PENANAI7gCpWsVyw
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAGMrwhLPpsT
132Please respect copyright.PENANA4k9laSQtQi
"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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAFLvaemKg3v
132Please respect copyright.PENANAhHPGhC1siQ
Hanna glanced at him taping up the ankle. "Can you heal that like you did my bruises?"132Please respect copyright.PENANATJbJmAEVdw
132Please respect copyright.PENANA3j9OLJpWJ9
"What are you talking about?" Ethan asked, his voice slightly lacking sincerity.132Please respect copyright.PENANApl3Jyg3wyb
132Please respect copyright.PENANA4tJ3IiVgwX
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."132Please respect copyright.PENANAnb5MddzqZ5
132Please respect copyright.PENANAY6muxW7hlH
"I don't think so, maybe they weren't as bad as you thought?" Ethan suggested, responding quickly.132Please respect copyright.PENANAWIbiZpMtwE
132Please respect copyright.PENANA36L9jhXzq8
"Maybe," Hanna mused, still unconvinced.132Please respect copyright.PENANA1m70si7PGy
132Please respect copyright.PENANAvf6SzcQEfR
Ethan changed the topic, he could feel the medication beginning to work. "How did you learn how to do that?"132Please respect copyright.PENANAMNjHGl0tg5
132Please respect copyright.PENANAt5roB2zzyN
"Do what?" Hanna asked, a slight smile passing her lips. "I've done a lot of things today."132Please respect copyright.PENANAU7OQHx8Vkq
132Please respect copyright.PENANAFIIjaHXvSL
"Fight," Ethan answered dryly. He resisted the urge to say 'murder'.132Please respect copyright.PENANAgApWbhfVoi
132Please respect copyright.PENANAbDEwO4gBqj
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."132Please respect copyright.PENANAjxBMPOkT4v
132Please respect copyright.PENANA0aefIswsCV
"I guess that makes sense," Ethan replied lazily, like he wasn't paying attention to the conversation he started.132Please respect copyright.PENANAjnyqklh1bV
132Please respect copyright.PENANA2m2gEj0FKl
"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."132Please respect copyright.PENANAB3vAPOxm98
132Please respect copyright.PENANAyFxBDTdDrt
"Do you know how to use it?" Ethan asked sleepily.132Please respect copyright.PENANA6nBNkRDFbV
132Please respect copyright.PENANAc1rvAOMbOf
"Of course, I wouldn't have it otherwise," Hanna answered dryly.132Please respect copyright.PENANALxUlVLxMpU
132Please respect copyright.PENANAIc0HniGUlf
"Makes sense." Ethan adjusted to a more comfortable position in his seat.132Please respect copyright.PENANAjFK9JPHdBE
132Please respect copyright.PENANAPhwskSJYIb
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?"132Please respect copyright.PENANAlG5xCve0XQ
132Please respect copyright.PENANA4JCCLfmcE4
Ethan was suddenly more alert. "No," he replied firmly, without needing to think about it.132Please respect copyright.PENANA1XcXC9Yvbz
132Please respect copyright.PENANAKrdc83S70A
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-"132Please respect copyright.PENANAtkCEuWuUjv
132Please respect copyright.PENANAUhLIOV7EWk
"She wouldn't," Ethan interrupted.132Please respect copyright.PENANATSNe5SvIHI
132Please respect copyright.PENANAsohM0KjeVm
"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."132Please respect copyright.PENANAY14NUGBC3V
132Please respect copyright.PENANAVHZL73NOZW
Ethan exhaled slowly. "She doesn't know I'm Charax."132Please respect copyright.PENANAj8c3Yaav2h
132Please respect copyright.PENANAFiyoKBCNRe
"You could tell her?" Hanna suggested reluctantly, trying to hide her own disdain for the idea.132Please respect copyright.PENANA2YygsllFuE
132Please respect copyright.PENANAM0Jf8TScLb
Ethan shook his head adamantly. "She doesn't know and it needs to stay that way."132Please respect copyright.PENANAYFeH5SrVr0
132Please respect copyright.PENANAhv6dKTnKn4
"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.132Please respect copyright.PENANA41f7iGvIku
132Please respect copyright.PENANAFxW6MwU9b4
Ethan sighed, resting his elbow on the passenger door. "You don't know her. I wouldn't use the term 'understanding' to describe her."132Please respect copyright.PENANAOfhLhWK7eO
132Please respect copyright.PENANABxloTONjCS
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-"132Please respect copyright.PENANApZ50TJQYtz
132Please respect copyright.PENANALr5TDOdd5j
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."132Please respect copyright.PENANANSRGGwFOvU
132Please respect copyright.PENANAgndhBtvgQE
"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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAzsw1Samaqy
132Please respect copyright.PENANAAQMBIJZ1kq
Ethan scowled. "I'm not going to bet my life on that. On her."132Please respect copyright.PENANAU2Uo9AsrbH
132Please respect copyright.PENANAgwcgCTHAMJ
"You're sure?" Hanna asked softly.132Please respect copyright.PENANAu4Ya444cCL
132Please respect copyright.PENANA3XUyEfbGzH
"Yes. Just drop it," Ethan replied confidently.132Please respect copyright.PENANANFUGH7t4E0
132Please respect copyright.PENANANdczFvmYCw
"You'd rather have me?" Hanna asked in a small voice.132Please respect copyright.PENANA78JsPX0Y1O
132Please respect copyright.PENANALhbcvhZPnF
Ethan turned to look out the side window, not paying attention to the passing streetlights. "You knew what you were getting into."132Please respect copyright.PENANAQjNeWlXogs
132Please respect copyright.PENANA2NxT21tpAt
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?"132Please respect copyright.PENANAV3dLZywWb5
132Please respect copyright.PENANAZFGSVKc4dK
"Uh, sure," Hanna agreed tentatively.132Please respect copyright.PENANAN1Vv3WOOxg
132Please respect copyright.PENANABZPmHYLfUo
"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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAfC08qWRiIG
132Please respect copyright.PENANAW97C5P37FF
"Okay." Hanna started driving silently.132Please respect copyright.PENANAaBjk8x9yxy
132Please respect copyright.PENANA8B3fJTVrBe
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAx02bhzwKvP
132Please respect copyright.PENANA57zJsOoAiV
A while later, Hanna noticed his nervous fidgeting. "Everything alright?"132Please respect copyright.PENANAaTuoCCeBk7
132Please respect copyright.PENANAbFxQmhCKkt
"No," Ethan answered irritably.132Please respect copyright.PENANAIvfYhRrhb8
132Please respect copyright.PENANAzWeObeFWcI
Hanna glanced at home with concern. "Do you need me to stop?"132Please respect copyright.PENANAiPIvTtsVaz
132Please respect copyright.PENANAgDmflHz4c4
"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.132Please respect copyright.PENANA8llx7ArBWT
132Please respect copyright.PENANA10YOsXWuo2
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAfJi7kWg4zI
132Please respect copyright.PENANAi7x2lf9Yrj
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.132Please respect copyright.PENANAwtlqrukv7H
132Please respect copyright.PENANAMDsDgk6Nq2
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.
