I waited until he was out of sight before I walked up to Beth. “What was that all about?”Beth gave me the story and said that he was on his way to...meet his supplier. I told her to call Dad while I ran to the road to intercept the supplier. I knew that there was so little traffic on the road that the only parked car there had to be the person I was looking for. She was going to overpower Hunter when he came back.I ran for the back road by the shortest route. When I got there, I spotted a pickup. The courtyard stood silent, the central fountain turned was turned off and the normally crowded space was totally devoid of people as far as he could tell. “How’s it look?’ Jessica asked. “Looks empty. Move fast. Ready?” She nodded. Michael silently counted to three and then darted out into the courtyard. Jessica was close behind as he moved passed the silent statues, feeling the stony gaze of the nude lovers staring at him accusingly. When they reached archway they stopped at the door. Michael. But he had said the same thing as I thought and it reinforced it." Darling, I think that's awful." It was but he was only doing his job. He knew Robert was guilty of both charges but was trying to produce excuses or mitigating circumstances."So that's how it went on and this nagging feeling of guilt sapped my energy and I just didn't want to do anything even with you who never stopped being loving and patient. Then I got another thing to be miserable about." What was that?" That in my short. She was desperate for the journey to end and those last few minutes took an age to complete. She knew it was almost over, as bags and luggage started to be arranged in the aisles and the desperate moved towards the exits to ensure they were the first to disembark. She started the journey wanting to be up at the front there with them, now she was almost cowering, so self conscious, sitting motionless as the rush to escape began. She held back trying to control her urge to escape, the pressure.
