Take her with him

Inside the restaurant, Mia finished her meal and a hot coffee and fished inside her purse for money to pay the check. She had eaten enough and was warm enough to head back on her journey. With such terrible weather she couldn't delay it anymore than she had. Especially when she was traveling alone.

Mia glanced at her wrist watch and saw that it was almost twelve in the afternoon, she quickly picked up her purse and smiled at the mother, who had been trying to have a casual conversation with her the whole time they were eating at the adjoining table, and walked up to the cash register to pay her bill.

As she emerged from the building looking down at her phone, she stopped in surprise as a police car suddenly made a frantic U-turn in front of her, and turned on its siren, then shot out of the parking lot onto the road.
