"Close the trunk , we need to go"

"Okay" She mumbles

I walk in the driver's seat, grabbing the steering wheel tighter then I should. I just hope this plan works.

I turn my head to see Sandra sitting,  clutching on her duffle bag.

"You know you can chuck that bag at the back seat right ?"

She chuckles lightly  "Right" She turns her body to put the bag behind her seat.

I start the ignition and begin to drive. I take a second to glance at Sandra , she's looking out the window at her house becoming smaller and smaller as I drive further away from it.  It's clear that she's scared.

She sighs "Um... when do you think we'll be coming back ?"

I stay quiet and she notices it.

"Lucas ?" She urges.

I scratch my head with one hand before placing back on the steering wheel  "I don't know  Sandra"

If everthing goes according to plan then maybe we'll be coming back , but if not I don't  if we're even coming back.

She lays her head on the headrest,"Mom's gonna kill me" She mumbles to herself, "Anyways how are you feeling ?"

My forehead furrows,  "In terms of ?"

"Your bruises"

"Oh", I mean some are still painful , but they're bearable and everthing beside the deep cut under my wrist , is starting to heal

"I'm fine"

"Okay then" , She sighs

I pay my attention back on the road. The luminous headlight penetrating through the inky darkness of the night and sooner the building and flashing lights of Reighton turns into quiet fields of long grass.

We're officially out of the city

"So um... how did you sneak out  from your house ?" She asks

"I didn't have to. I told them the truth"

"Oh" She straighten her glasses.

"At least you said goodbye to them"

I didn't say goodbye to Pamela. It was past bedtime for her when I was leaving.

"Well it's was nice of your mom to let you borrow her car"

My chest slightly tighten at the thought of mom.

She was gone too soon.

I shake the thought of her out of my mind before emotions starting arising. "Yeah"

I slow down my speed when the car in front of us stopped. It's red brake light glowing in the dark. A traffic cop appears at the side of the car , probably asking the driver questions.

A another cop shows on my side knocking at the window. I roll it down letting the cop blind me with his flashlight.

"How can we help you officer ?"
