I
headed as fast as I could without getting stopped to the interstate. I had no
trouble spotting a van, it was the only one there. I slowly approached the van
and was ready for anything. I had disguised my car, myself, and Akania. No one
would be able to tell that it was us.
I looked for any sign of life from the
van and saw Ella. I smiled. Thank God,
I thought. Thank God.
I slowly approached the van with my
car and I hoped that Ella could see me. I made one of your hand signals that
would let her know that I was me. I think I saw her nod.
The back of the van opened, slowly.
Three heads poked out. They were all safe. Three pairs of feet hit the ground,
but Arthur had to carry James. They ran for all they were worth. I had the
doors open and the engine revved and ready to go. “Get in! Get In!” I called.
“Are you really her?” Ella asked.
“At this moment, does it matter as
long as you’re getting away from the people holding you captive?”
“Good point. Move!”
“Come on baby, let’s move!” Arthur
said.
I nodded and the doors closed. We
raced off, hopefully before they realized what had happened.
