The Holiday

The rhythmic hum of the bus served as a backdrop to the loud noise as the students slowly started to settle into the bus. The atmosphere was alive with loud laughter, ribbing among students and throwing of snacks at each other. Nora took in all of this with a glance before turning her attention to her novel. She was covered from head to toe with weapons and in no mood for this holiday. 

She hoped and prayed that the risk she was taking this time would pay off. Even though she had already spotted the security that Demetri and the police had arranged for her, she found herself on the edge. The only way to calm herself was to immerse herself in the world of a book so that she would not be too worried about the danger to come.
