A sudden tapping on his window
startled Scott. He turned to look at the source of the noise and saw a face
peering in at him. It was a drawn face, slightly dirty and the hair was
unkempt and shaggy. The eyes though, they seemed to once have held some
life, but now seemed rather sad and tired looking. He opened the window a
bit.
“Hey man, open the door... that guys a vice cop”
“What? Huh, you sure?”
“Yeah, come on let me in”
Scott hesitated, but saw that the
tall figure was starting to abandon his slow stroll and was heading straight
for him. Panic set in, and he could feel his palms starting to sweat. He
unlocked the door, and the young stranger climbed in.
“Come on man, move it before we
get busted”
“Uh, yeah okay”
Scott put the car into gear and took
off, he was tempted to floor the car but reason took hold and he proceeded
at a normal rate.
“Turn off there and get out of the
park,... that’s it, now get onto the main road there, yeah that one” his
stranger directed.
They drove for a few minutes longer,
with Scott checking his rearview mirror constantly, searching for the
flashing blue and red lights of a police car. His new found savior kept
glancing backwards too, and finally he seemed satisfied, and let out a deep
sigh.
