A neon signboard signalled a gas station. But she knew no matter how desperate they were, they couldn't pull up. At least not with an angry, murderous Robert Kandsdov a.k.a Kent Midwest. She drowned herself in thoughts, blocking out her siblings' whispers.
Katie was afraid, true. She was way more matured than other little kids, correct again. "We have no fucking choice Alanna!" Aston's harsh words brought Katie back to reality. "Fine!'' her sister snapped back. Katie's eyes and ears went full alert. What choice?
