* POV Alexis King *

"What's your name?" The boy asks.

"Alexis."

"Do you have a last name?"

"King."

''Nice to meet you, Alexis King. My name is Zac Crowe." My heart starts to beat faster. I have always liked the name 'Zac'.

"Why are you in the middle of the woods running?" I ask. He seems to think. "If you do not want to say it is good too."

"You'll hear it later." 

I nod. ''Where are we going?''

''Los Angeles.''

''What?! All the way to LA?"

''Yes. It is a long journey. You can still go back.''

''No, I do not have to think about that '', I am quiet for a moment. "So you live in LA?"

''Yes, I do.''

''OK. Cool. "

He laughs, it is a laugh that I have to answer. He looks back at me dreamily. ''So, Zac'', I start. ''What is your job?''

He is quiet for a long time and seems to think, what is wrong with him? Is he hiding something from me?

''I... Uhm...''

"Is it secret?" I ask curiously.

"Maybe I'd better tell you later. It is not the time for it, not yet."

''Why not? Are you a secret agent, a Mafia boss, a murderer or maybe someone who has to follow bad people." He's uncomfortable. Shit, so one of those things is true. Suddenly I feel less safe.

"You'll hear it later, okay?" I nod. It is a long time in the car, meanwhile, we're drive on the highway on the way to the airport. 

Suddenly someone is calling him. I already had my eyes closed, he may think I'm asleep. I feel that he is looking at me. "Yes, she is asleep. OK. Are you sure? Okay, I'll see you tomorrow." He hangs up and drives on quickly.

Zaczaczaczaczac. I'm happy. Do you think I'm weird? I actually don't care. Have a nice day.
