Chapter 8

Roger arrived at the hotel and asked the porter to go up and let Ms. Thomas know that he was here.

“But, she already left with a man called Roger,” the porter said looking very confused.

“What are you talking about?” Roger asked.

“I went up to tell her Roger was waiting in a carriage outside and she came down and got into the carriage; actually got in is being generous, he was very rough with her, he practically yanked her off her feet and into the back with him,” the porter answered.

“What did he look like?”

“A tall man, in his fifties, very gruff.” Roger knew immediately that this was Turner and he had tricked Melissa to the carriage and then forcibly taken her away. He ran outside leaving the porter even more bewildered than ever and pulled the trap from his horse and then jumped up on its back. The horse enjoying not pulling anything behind it flew off the direction Roger directed. He knew that Turner would be taking her to the nearest town with a train station. That would take them overnight to get there and he had the advantage of being one man on an otherwise unencumbered horse. It was growing dim out but the sky was clear and he was sure the light of the moon would let him see the carriage even at a distance.

At last, the dust trail was perceptible in the distance and Roger knew it was only a matter of minutes before he caught up with them now. He fought the urge to spur his horse on; he was sure she was tired enough already without adding to her troubles.

He got alongside the carriage but he couldn’t see inside so he rode up to the driver and shouted at him to stop the horses.

“I’m under orders not to stop until I get to the train station,” the driver said.

“What’s going on out there?” Turner’s angry voice came from the window. “You!” he said when he saw Roger bouncing on his horses back.

“Roger?” Melissa’s voice called out but she could not see him.

“I’m here Melissa, don’t worry, we’ll get you sorted soon,” Roger called back to her.

“Driver, make sure you don’t stop this carriage for anything or it will be your head!” Turner shouted.

Roger looked at the driver and saw that he was going to do as he was told. This left Roger with no choice. He got closer to the carriage and then leapt across so that he was clinging to the side of it as his horse ran off free, still keeping pace with the carriage.

“Get off there!” Turner shouted and he swung his heavy fists outside to try to knock Roger off. Roger evaded his blows and clambered up onto the roof. He lay there on his chest for a moment and considered what to do. He gripped onto the bar that ran along the side of the roof and with a heft let himself swing down and he came feet first through the window.
