Meeting another heroine

The smooth ride of the car came to a halt, when Esme hit the brakes suddenly. 

The instant halt jolted Rio and Myra who were silently resting on the backseat. 

"What happened?" Myra asked, looking at Esme. 

"Someone's blocking the road?" Esme said, pointing forward, while meeting Myra's gaze in the rearview mirror. 

Myra looked through the front glass and saw a young girl bent down and crawled into a ball, sitting there in the middle of the road. 

"Do I ?" Esme asked, looking back at her. 

Myra nodded her head, giving her permission to go out and check. 

"Be careful." She added.

The roads were empty and the surroundings deserted. At this time when all of Haven was celebrating free food and drinks, someone stopping their way could be a coincidence, or an ambush. 

Though the chances of an attack were low, but it's always better to be careful and brave, then to be dumb and in a grave.
