Chapter 10 FLEEING AND GETTING CAUGHT

Chapter 10: Fleeing and Getting Caught

***

On the other side of the community, there was an ATM. She inserted a bank card into the ATM and examined the number of deposits displayed on the square of the machine. Astrid clenched her teeth and yanked out two thousand dollars.

She used the money to call a taxi. She was anxious to escape when she got in the car, but she had a plan.

“Where should I go?” Impatiently, the taxi driver urged.

Where… Astrid lingered for a while, suddenly realizing that the world was vast, but she had nowhere to go.

“Do you want to leave?  If you don’t want to go, get off. I need to get to the next business trip.”  The driver frowned and gave Astrid a disgusted expression. Unfortunately, he ran into her on his first business today.

“I’m sorry, I haven’t figured out where to go,” Astrid said slowly, facing the grumpy taxi driver; she did not resist and even apologized, making her appear cowardly.
