Tomorrow
“I grab the screwdriver and drag the overturned dining room chair into the bedroom with me to open the vent that’s spaced four inches from the ceiling.
I’d honestly started to think they’d stopped looking for us. Now I know we stayed too long, got too comfortable.
I yank the grill off the vent and toss it onto the bed. Reaching inside, I close my fingers around the gun and box of bullets we bought when we first reached Vancouver, a tight roll of twenty-dollar bills totalling eight hundre...d dollars, and two sets of fake IDs for Freya and me under the names Chris Henderson and Amy Lewandowski. We have more money at the bank, but I don’t have time for that. I load the gun, then shove everything into my duffle bag along with a fistful of underwear, socks, and T-shirts that I swipe off the floor. I throw a single pair of jeans into the bag along with them and hoist the strap over my shoulder.
Too late it occurs to me that I’m already letting their trail go cold; I should’ve run out to the street to catch sight of anything suspicious when I first saw that the apartment had been ransacked.MoreLess
