Bab 12: Mother by Chance
Chapter 12: On the Move Again
Alex's heart was racing as Ethan pulled her out of the cabin. They had been there for only a few hours, but it felt like an eternity.
"What's going on?" Alex asked, her voice tight with fear.
Ethan's face was grim. "The marshal said our location has been compromised," he said, his voice low. "We have to get out of here, now."
Alex nodded, her mind racing. Who had found them? And how?
As they ran through the forest, Alex stumbled over roots and fallen branches. Ethan caught her, holding her upright as they kept moving.
They finally reached the car, parked a few hundred feet away from the cabin. Ethan unlocked the door, pushing Alex inside.
As they sped away from the cabin, Alex looked back, seeing the trees blur together. They were on the move again, with no clear destination in sight.
Ethan's eyes were fixed on the road ahead, his face grim. Alex knew he was worried, but she also knew he would do everything in his power to keep her safe.
As they drove, Alex's mind wandered back to the mysterious figure who had brought them supplies. Who was he, really? And what did he want from them?
And then there was the marshal's warning. Who had compromised their location? And how had they found them?
Alex's head was spinning with questions, but she knew she had to stay focused. They were in danger, and they needed to be careful.
As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the landscape, Alex felt a sense of unease wash over her. They were running out of time, and she knew it.
But Ethan's hand found hers, his fingers intertwining with hers. Alex felt a surge of comfort and reassurance.
They would get through this, together.
As the darkness closed in around them, Alex knew they had to keep moving. They couldn't stay in one place for too long.
But where were they going? And what would they find when they got there?
Only time would tell.
As they drove on, the silence between them was palpable. Alex knew Ethan was thinking, trying to come up with a plan.
But as the minutes ticked by, Alex's anxiety grew. They were running out of options, and she knew it.
Suddenly, Ethan's phone rang. He hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Yes?" he said, his voice cautious.
Alex watched as Ethan's expression changed from cautious to relieved.
"Thanks, man," Ethan said, his voice filled with gratitude. "We owe you one."
As Ethan ended the call, Alex raised an eyebrow. "Who was that?" she asked.
Ethan smiled. "That was our host," he said. "He's arranged for us to stay at a safe house."
Alex's eyes widened. "A safe house?" she repeated.
Ethan nodded. "Yes," he said. "It's a place where we can hide out for a while."
Alex felt a surge of hope. Maybe they would finally be able to catch a break.
But as they drove on, Alex couldn't shake off the feeling that they were being watched.
She glanced around, but saw nothing. Just the darkness, and the occasional flash of headlights from passing cars.
But the feeling persisted, growing stronger with every passing minute.
And then, just as they were approaching the safe house, Alex saw a figure standing in the shadows.
Her heart skipped a beat as she grabbed Ethan's arm. "Look," she whispered.
Ethan's eyes flicked to the figure, his expression grim.
"What do we do?" Alex asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Ethan's eyes locked on hers. "We'll be okay," he said, his voice soft. "Just trust me."
