"Good morning officer." I say as I smile nervously.

He nods. Examining my facial expressions.

"Passports?"

"Here you go" I say as I hand them to him. I sigh.

"Your daughter?" He asks, looking in the back seat at Nia.

I nod. "Yea."

I can feel the sun heating up my skin from how hot it is. I see the border patrol officer take the passports.
He calls another officer over. They whisper to one another while looking at me suspiciously.

Fuck. I can feel sweat dripping down my forehead mostly because of the heat but because of how nervous I am.

The other officer walks away. He turns to me.

"Okay, Have a good day." He says as he hands me my passports and hurries me away.

I drive off. Oh my god, thank you. He nearly gave me a heart attack.

I don't think my hands have ever been this sweaty before.
I rub my hands against my clothes to quickly dry them and continue to drive to the location that the gps sends me to.

I drive for about 10 more minutes.

I park in an empty parking lot.

"I'm here." I send him a quick text on the burner phone. I wait for his reply.

I look back at Nia. She's still asleep peacefully. I sigh. Am I just supposed to let him push me around? How much more shit is he gonna have me sneak into Canada. I don't even know what I smuggled.

I look down at the burner phone.

"Tell them the stuff is under the car." He replied.

That's it? That's all I tell them?

"You have arrived to your destination." The gps says.

I see a worn down building, looks like a car wash or a auto repair shop. It has an opening for cars, looks like a garage.

I can see a couple men in there having a conversation.

I pull the car up just about to enter opening.

A guy turns my way. I see his hand gesturing for me to pull in.

He walks over to the driver's door. He stands in front of the car door. He looks around 5'10. He's black and has a mustache and a stubble to go with it. His eyebrows make him very intimidating.

"Get out." He says as he pats the drivers door signaling for me to get out. I leave the car keys in the ignition and quickly grab my bag from the passenger seat and get out. He looks at me. He's a lot taller than he looks.

"Lift up your shirt." He says as he stands in front of me.

"Why?" I ask confused to why he would want me to lift it up.

He seems really impatient that he lifts my shirt up himself.

He looks at my bare stomach.

"Where's the money?" He asks in an intimidating manner.

"Under the car." I tell him. As I go to grab Nia.

I open the door.

"Nia, wake up baby." I tell her and she quickly wakes up groggily.

I unbuckle her seat and get her out.

I close the door and put her on the ground and grab her by her hand. 

I look at the guys that work for this man. They're unscrewing a car part under the car that came off.

Shit, Rio is one smart motherfucker.

"Here." I turn around to look at him.

I look up at the boss man and he hands me some type of car keys.

"You'll need these for that car." He points to a car in the parking lot.

"Thank you." I tell him.

"No, thank you." He says.

He chuckled. I'm guessing he could tell I was scared.

"Can't believe that motherfucker, Rio, made you bring your little girl." He says. As he leans against the beige brick wall inside the garage.

"Neither can I." I say.

"How you know Rio?" He asks

"Uhm, my stupid ass friends." I tell him.

He smiles. It's a cute smile, he has a gap. Looks good on him.

"Not some good friends, are they?" He says.

I don't know how to reply to that question. I feel like I haven't seen Beth, Ruby or Annie in so long. Maybe it's my fault that I distanced myself from them. Was it a good idea to stop talking to them. I mean it wasn't on purpose.

"Yea, I guess not." I chuckle while looking down.

"Y'all better get going then." He says.

I walk to the car in the parking lot and I look back to see him waving bye to Nia. I see her wave back at him.

Now all we have to do is get back to Michigan.
