y-yes, yes i.. i know where you are! okay. i. i’ll be ten minutes, five if i run. i, i’ll see you soon! *he hangs up, makes a right, and runs as fast as his legs can take him*
[Alice grabbed her coat, keys, wallet, and phone and ran down to wait on the side walk outside the apartment building. Pretty soon the sound of running feet reached her ears and she looked up to see Jack coming quickly toward her, breathing hard.]
Come on, [she motioned to him before he even came to a complete stop, and lead him around to the back of the building to the parking lot. Her car was a beat up old El Camino that her dad had given her when she graduated high school. Once upon a time it must have been a beautiful forest green but now it was faded to a darkish kind of mint.]
Get in. [She said, popping the locks and climbing inside.]
*this was crazy. it was totally crazy. he barely knew the woman but he was getting into her car, fastening the seat belt as quickly as he could, hands shaking. his face was purple from the cold and running but he didn’t care*
i, i just saw it on the news i couldn’t believe it why did this happen?
