Kapitel 15: Past

McCreery

With hopes to the ground, we kept in the middle of the road to ask for a ride, we tried to keep our composure, although our nerves and mental state were already quite fatal not to mention our appearance when the lights of a car kept us all alert. I would swear that one of us could hold my breath when he saw the reflection of the light of the car going on and with all the loss we waited patiently for him to be a kind soul who decided to play it to stop her in the middle of nowhere to save us and to our great surprise, she did.

—The car stops.

—Please, you could take us to the nearest town. We need to get out of here immediately —Ashley says in a tone of supplication.

—... Come on up— the man replies as he looks at the blood on Layla's clothes.

—We won't cause her any trouble, we just need to leave because my friend is hurt and here the clinic is overcrowded with people —McCreery replies, trying to sound convincing.
