She'd raced out of there before life could get even weirder. This wasn't normal. Outside on the street, everything was quiet. In the background Cynthia could hear the creech of car tyres, a squawking of a bird, and muffled, angry footsteps; but, for once, they didn't concern her.

Free to walk down the street; free to buy coffee in a shop; free to catch a train wherever and whenever she liked!

Then cynicism kicked back in.

What if she had been?

What if Marc had snitched?

What if they had found the sender?
