Run Away

       "It was a windy day when the man crossed the road and went into the bus station. He was staring at the busses that would leave soon on the big black board. He was in a rush to get someplace far away. He was in his thirties, shorter than average, brown hair. He had a white T-shirt on with jeans and was carrying a back pack. Next thing he knows he hears sirens of police cars. He started to get sweaty and fidgety. Telling the woman to hurry up and get his tickets. When he was getting the money out of his bag, he accidently dropped it because his hands were shaking so bad. Big wads of cash scattered around his feet.  He tries to stuff every thick , block of money in the bag, but it's too late. Everyone was gasping at their sight of him and the money.

        After he packed the bricks of cash he was looking where to run. The back door was wide open. While he was sprinting he was think where to live, hide, sleep, eat. He didn't want to go to his friends place. That would be asking too much. It's like " Hey can I eat your food, sleep in your bed, oh,  and you might go to jail for this.", he was smarter than that, but not smart enough to not rob a bank. Not his parents either, he would the people he loved in a place they shouldn't be. So he planned to go to a Holiday Inn outside of town. Then he needed to make a reservation and make it quick.

       Although he's running away from police, people didn't know what he had done so went to a local restaurant with no T.V.s, radios,  or cops. There was a Starbucks just across the street. He was running so hard his lungs felt like they were bruised all over. When he was crossing the street a car was screeching to a stop and  a very small man popped his head out of the car window. " Hey you! How 'bout you make smarter choices will ya!" Now he tells him. The Starbucks was mostly empty. Perfect he thought. The phone had a different tones of beeps when each number got pressed. He pressed the phone to his ear and heard the voice of the  Holiday Inn woman.

" Hi, this is the Holiday Inn. How may I help you."
"Hey, if you have any rooms available?", he said in between his deep breaths.
"Yes we do, how long do you think you're  staying?"
" A while." ,he said in a miserable voice.
" Okay…. What day and time are you coming and how many people are with you?"
" Today at 4:30 and it's just me."
"That's nice. Are you going here for alone time."
"Yes?"
" That's good. What else is good we also have a room open for you."
" Okay, thank you. Bye"

       Yes! He runs as fast as he could and every time he saw a police car he went inside a dark ally. He spots the hotel just two blocks away. He sprints as fast as he could and steps into the lobby. His heart drops. The cops are waiting for him. " On the ground!", they kept repeating to him." How'd you find me!", he said with his face to the floor." We looked at your calls in the last 24 hours and saw one in particular that you said where  you're going.". Shout!
