Chapter 49

Chance

The roar of the bike rumbles under me as I ride hard and fast down the long narrow street. What would normally take me a good forty-five minutes, is now going on fifteen. The roads are slippery and still damp from the small snow we got this morning, but I let nothing stop me as I rush to my target.

My bike speeds down the suburban neighborhood, car alarms go off as I pass them, but my focus is on one thing and one thing only.

Abby.

Normally the road keeps my mind free of conflict and aggression, but not tonight. Tonight, my anxious form is hunting, and my bike is merely a means to an end.
