After a while, every truck and motor were off back to were they had to go. Darling were busy playing on the grass when Patrick picked her up and told her that they now have lost everything. He had alot on his mind and decided what to do now. He decided to run away from his problems, to go to a place far away from where he was now. He'd escape this nightmare and try to get over it. So he picked up Darling and started walking...
It'll surly be a long walk, a long jerney, he thought to himself. He now finds himself on the highway, he've bine walking for about a hour and a half now. Cars were rushing by, like non-stop. Soon it began to get real dark and he decided to rest awhile under the trees that were near him. He thought to himself that he would have to stay till morning, because he would not be able to see anything at all if he keeps on walking. He picked up a few leafs and made a bundle to form a tiny little bed for Darling to sleep in. He tooked off his jacket to use as a blanket for Darling. He slowly bended down and with Darling still asleep in his arr, he carefully putted her on the pale of leafs and through his jacket gently over Darling's little body, keeping only her face open. It was quite cold and the wind was roaring and there were a very strong breeze. Patrick curled his arms over Darling to keep himself a little warm and to make sure that she were save (for anything can happen at night só dark, with no flashlight or weapon to keep them save ). It was about 10:30 at night.
Suddenly he felt, during the night, that Darling were yapping and a car was driving in and about to stop at the same trees as were Patrick and Darling were. Patrick started to panic and thought to himself, '' Who can it be by this time of night, could it be... could it be robbers, murderers, kidnappers...who can it be? ''He slowly moved Darling near to him and stayed on the ground trying to see who it could be. The car lights was on and showing straight at them, but he just pretended not to see the people or person in the car, who ever they are. No one came out of the car and that were pretty strange...
Then a female woman, say about no older then 30 , came out of the car and walked slowly towards Patrick. Then she said:'' Sir, my car is empty standing with no petrol. I see you have a little puppy there. Do you have a phone that l may borrow just for a minute so l can call someone for help?'' Patrick replied back after a long sigh :'' I'm very sorry mad'am but l don't have a phone with me, but could you be so kind off sharing some water if you have, please? ''
''My name Megan, if you want you may call me Meg.I live a few farms away from here, l was heading back home now, but l did not see my petrol lights coming on. I don't know you, but from the looks of it, you look like a person that l can trust. Here's some water and food for your pup.'' Patrick thanked her kindly and gaved Darling a little tap to wake her up. She haven't eaten nór drink something since this morning. Patrick and Meg began to talk and played with Darling almost all night. Meg offered him a blanket and a pillow, to sleep on, while she slept in the back of her car, just for safety because she did not know him that well.
