car had been hit badly.
    Shadow stopped the car with a screech in front of the house and Angie, standing there astounded, saw that he was bleeding from the head.
    She ran to the car and he got out. Apart from the head wound, he seemed fine, and was steady on his feet.
    “What happened? What’s going on?” Angie said, trying to wipe away the blood and looking at the car with fear.
    “Don’t have time,” he said quickly, getting away from her towards the house.
    “We need to leave.”
    “Leave?” she said, still rooted to the spot.
    “Where?”
    “I don’t know yet,” Shadow said moving inside and Angie followed him.
    “But we need to leave.”
    Once inside, Shadow was sifting through the cupboards. He ran inside his room and brought out an empty bag.
    “Get whatever you need and put it here. We don’t have much time. I think I was followed but managed to lose them a few miles back. But they will eventually find this place.”
    “Who are they? Why are they following you? What is going on?”
    “Listen,” Shadow said and there was urgency in his voice.
    “This is not the time to discuss what happened. I will tell you everything on the way. Just get ready for now. We don’t have time.”
    Angie nodded and immediately went upstairs and got whatever she thought was necessary.
    In a few minutes, she was packed and was downstairs. Shadow was already waiting for her, sitting on the breakfast table, putting a wet cloth on his head wound. A gun was lying in front of him.
    “What’s this?” she said, eyeing the weapon.
    “This is what saved my life,” he said, looking at what she was pointing to.
    “Are you ready?” he asked.
    Angie nodded.
    “Good,” he said, getting up.
    “Let’s go.”
    They half ran to the car.
    “You are gonna drive the car like this?” Angie asked, looking at the windshield. It was a surprise that he could look out of it on the road ahead.
    “Wait a minute,” he said.
    Shadow went inside the car and hit the windshield with his foot. Given the fragile state it was already in; a single kick was all it took to get it out from its snug fit place.
    “Come,” Shadow said to Angie.
    Angie sat in the passenger’s seat and put on her seatbelt. She had a feeling that this was not going to be a safely driven journey.
    As soon as she had sat in the seat, Shadow put the engine to work and turned the car around with ferocity. They started their journey to whatever place Shadow was driving to, Angie thought.
    A few minutes past and Shadow was uncommonly guarded when it came to other cars and traffic.
    “Do you plan to drive all the way to wherever we are going in this car?” Angie said.
    “No, we will dump this soon and get a rental,” Shadow said, distractedly.
    Angie quieted down. She desperately wanted to ask him questions but knew that this was not the right time, so she didn’t press. They drove on for almost an hour and got on the interstate highway and after that did Shadow breathed a sigh of relief.
    They had changed cars once and by the looks of it, Shadow was planning to do so one more time at least, before their journey was over.
    “So,” she began, putting her legs up on the dashboard.
    “Are you gonna tell me now what happened?”
    Shadow seemed deep in thought regarding this question. It seemed he pondering where to begin.
    “Well,” he said after some time.
    “It happened at the Crow.”
    Angie sat up straight, and her heart started pounding.
    “What happened?” she said.
    “I was keeping a lookout outside, to see if Bob would come, and there he was…with three other guys,” he said.
    Angie gasped.
    “Who were they?”
    “What do you think? They were the ones I was looking for. And guess what? They had the package.”
    Angie was listening with rapt attention. How could this be? How could Bob, the one she worked with for all those nights, turn out to be in league with such rogues.
    “So,” Shadow continued his story.
    “I decided that it was now or never. It
