Chapter 6

The Past Rides Closely Behind

I woke up early, just as the sun began to poke its head above the hilly horizon. I brought myself to my feet. The air was warm, and there was no breeze—the world was still.

The fire from the previous night had been reduced to a sizzling ember. I looked around me—Axel was fast asleep next to the fire.

Over a distant cliff, I could see the sun beginning to rise higher and higher, as the sky turned from a dark blue colour to a golden pink. I walked over to the cliff to get a better vantage of the morning beauty.

It was beautiful, unlike any sunrise I’d ever seen.

I’d never really stopped to appreciate the sunrise—it never occurred to me to do so. Besides, for the past many years, I’d been out so late, working the streets, that I’d never even been awake to see the sunrise.

Ring! Ring!

My cell phone began to ring. I reached into my bra, where I kept it, to retrieve it.

“Hello?” I said, answering the phone.

I started to walk away from our little camp, and into the woods, where I wouldn’t wake up Axel.

“Haylee,” a familiar voice said.

“Matthew?” I said.

“Where the fuck are you?”

“I—I’m with a client,” I lied.

I walked deeper and deeper into the woods. I was way out of sight of the mysterious biker.

“Pepper told me she saw you leave with a biker. You didn’t take a job with a biker, did you?” he asked.

“No—It—It was one of my regular clients. He bought a bike. He’s—He’s having a mid-life crisis.”

“You’re an awful liar, Haylee,” Matthew said.

I was silent for a moment. “I’m not lying.”

“Where are you? I’m coming to get you.”

I stood frozen. It was true—I was a terrible liar. I tried to think of another lie, but I was too overwhelmed. I just stood silent.

“Haylee?” Matthew said with an angry tone. “You better not be ditching town with my money.”

“C—Can I call you back?” I asked.

“No—You’re going to tell me where you are,” Matthew said.

“Drop the phone,” a voice said behind me.

I turned around swiftly. There was a big, strong looking biker holding a handgun. He pointed the gun directly at my chest.

“Haylee!” Matthew yelled on the other side of the phone call, oblivious to what was happening.

I dropped the phone.

“Where’s Axel?” the man asked.

“A—Axel?” I said.

“The biker you took off with. Where is he?”

“I—I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said.

“Bull shit, lady. I ain’t dumb.”

I stood in a frozen fear.

“He killed my best friend. He broke the code.”

“I’m sorry—I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You have five seconds. If you don’t tell me, you’re dead. We’ll find your friend, no matter what. It’s just a matter of whether you want to die too.”

I tried desperately to think of an escape.

“I—I don’t know,” I lied again.

“Five…”

I took a deep breath.

“Four…”

I closed my eyes tightly.

“Three…”

Bang!

A bullet connected with the biker’s chest, killing him instantly. Behind me, Axel was standing with a rifle. He looked over at me.

“Don’t wander away again,” he said.
