Three

He’d barely slept. He hadn’t been able to get hold of Kat last night. He’d planned on hanging around near the gas station to keep trying, but just as he’d been about to come out of the treeline at the back of the building and try again, a patrol car had pulled up. He’d watched as a single officer had stepped out and gone to the front door, banging to wake up the owner. He could only assume it was something to do with him so he’d quietly turned and crept further into the woods. Deciding that it was too risky to try again, he opted to wait until morning. Once he was sure he was out of earshot, he’d picked up the pace, trying to put as much distance between him and the gas station as he could.

He’d traveled about two miles before he felt safe enough to stop and rest. He was deep in the woods, invisible from the road and protected from being spotted from the air by a thick canopy of leaves. Gathering leaves from the forest floor, he’d made himself a bed to protect himself from the cold of the ground and had laid down and immediately fallen asleep, exhausted.

It was the loud cry of a nearby bird that had woken him with a start, and he’d been momentarily disorientated as he looked around until he remembered the events of the day before. He needed to get a hold of Kat. He wouldn’t last very long without her help. He was already feeling the effects of not having had any water since the day before; his mouth felt as dry as tissue paper, and the rumbling coming from his stomach reminded him of how hungry he was.

Although he’d walked during the night, he had a very good sense of direction and was able to find his way back to the gas station easily. Checking that the patrol car was no longer there and happy that there were no other signs of police activity, he stepped out of the tree line and made his way over to the pay phone.

Please answer this time! he prayed as he lifted the handset and dialed Kat’s number.
