Luke peddled frightened and fast, sticking to the alleys and side streets, praying he hadn’t been seen or picked up by a security camera. Cold wind blew drops of rain into his muddy face as he repeatedly looked over his shoulder, afraid of being followed. Agony flooded every cell in his body. Luke bit down hard on his tongue, causing his jaw to numb, the only thing he could do to keep from screaming. I should have never gone. I should have never gone.
