Tony breathed deep and tried not to panic. K.J. was out of reach. Jackson couldn’t be trusted. For all he knew, the police were looking to arrest him right now. He needed to get back to town undetected and there was no time to call a cab. He needed to catch a break.
Fortunately, a break came in the form of the powder-flecked young woman who was going home to change. Tony caught up to her at her car, startled her, and pressed the remaining bills in his wallet into her hand.
“I need a ride back to town,” he said. “It’s an emergency.”
“I don’t know if I should…” the woman protested.
“Please,” Tony insisted. He didn’t want to knock her down and grab her keys, but if it came to that, he would.
