He didn't know where he would go. He oaths to obey the law, but now he is ignoring it because of a woman that he should kill but couldn't seem to do so.
"Where are you taking me? ", she finally had the courage to ask.
She received no answer from the man.
"Did you hear me, officer? "She asked, leaning forward to the driver.
"I just want to know why this is  happening, and what will happen next? Do you really intend to kill me? ", she stops talking when he stops the car in the middle of nowhere with just trees and the road ahead can be seen.
They just stared at each other when the man sighs.
"I am committing treason," he answered.
"What?"
"I'll tell you once we're safe, but for now you must behave if you want to live."
