John Green signed the last of the documents needed to release him from the emergency care center. The nurse thanked him and left his room.

He'd been patched, fed, watered, bathed, and changed. He looked out the window. The sun was just starting to set on the horizon. Despite the self-inflicted injuries, it was the best he'd felt in years.

He flicked up the collar of his shirt, admiring the brand-new tan fatigues the town had given him. John glanced down the length of him, turning from side to side.

Not bad, he thought.

They weren't the most flattering thing he'd ever put on, but at least they were clean and didn't carry the same holes and obligations as his previous wardrobe.

He stared in the mirror. His green eyes glittered from the depths of the black circles that had formed. They'd repaired his shoulder and broken nose. In a few days, he'd be able to breathe better than he ever had.

His tawny hair had been styled neatly, thanks to the woman at the sheriff's station who'd taken his false statement. Maggie something.

It wasn't important. She'd fulfilled her role rather quickly, her eagerness to harm the other woman apparent. It wasn't any of his business. John shook his head and went back to inspecting his appearance.

All in all, he looked good for a man who'd spent the last two years of his life drifting from place to place, running cons.

He pictured his latest victim. Beautifully exotic with her golden skin and black hair, Red had been willing to help him. She didn't even wait for backup. He was still surprised about that.

Most people, particularly those living on the fringe near the boundary fence, rarely went out of their way to help a stranger. It was too dangerous. John had found out the hard way when he'd been trapped and imprisoned by that snake of a politician.

A twinge of guilt struck over what he'd done to her, but it didn't last long. He'd had no choice. Freedom was his only concern. John would do anything to keep his freedom. If he'd had any doubts before, this proved it.

He tried to shut out the town's malicious rumors. They continued to vilify Red as he strolled out of the emergency care center. If she knew what was good for her, she'd leave this place. Just like he was about to do.

It wouldn't take long to reach the location for the meet. It was only a few blocks away. A shuttle would be waiting to take him north. Once it arrived, John could leave this whole nightmare behind him.
