Kathryn gasped for air as she appeared in the East River.
Great. I'm in the freezing cold East River, naked I might add, and I'm supposed to get out of here without anybody seeing me. Come on, this is New York City we're talking about! Kathryn thought.
Although optimism wasn't on her side, luck was.
Half an hour later, Kathryn found herself in a small patch of trees across from the river that only a New Yorker could call the woods.
Kathryn was by no stretch of the imagination dumb, and she had a plan.
After about the fourth time dying and coming back in the river, she got smart and buried some clothes under a tree in the woods.
Kathryn walked to the large tree and began to unearth the clothes.
After she had unburied the clothes and gotten dressed, she began to climb the tree for shelter.
About halfway up, she stopped and looked around. Through a gap in the leaves, she could see people walking around and a few cars on the road that she had just crossed to get to the woods.
Kathryn scanned the faces of the people, and for the second time that day, her blood ran cold.
In a small black sedan, was the owner of Abe's Antiques.
How had he tracked her? She was going to have one interesting time.
She quickly scrambled up the tree a little farther.
She found a suitable forked branch and settled in for the night.
The temperature dropped as darkness approached. Just after the sun sank below the horizon, snow began to fall.
Kathryn, wearing only a t-shirt, a thin sweatshirt, and sweatpants that were too small, huddled into a ball.
As the night wore on, Kathryn could not sleep due to the cold, and she suffered on throughout the night.
