It was morning, the sun was rising, and the wind was cool. It’s beautiful here, Sara thought. They had gotten over the border the night before with no problems.

The wind was blowing the slight curls ( Read more... )

They were driving down a dusty road, putting distance between Las Vegas and them. Putting distance between her and landon. They had left quickly as they could, not wanting to delay their 'trip' any longer.

There was a flash of blond up ahead in the tunnel of darkness, her blond hair giving off an almost halo-like glow, glistening in the non-existing light.

 Sara had been aimlessly walking around the casino for hours, bored out of her mind. To pass the time, she mentally made a list of reasons why she didn’t want to be there.

2. She hated gambling
3. She didn’t know half the people there- no wait, she didn’t know anyone there. Everyone was a friend of ( Read more... )

Michael walked into his room, dropping his bags onto the floor and sat on a stool. It had a tiny kitchen off to the right, a bathroom to the left.

**6 Weeks Later**

Michael was opening and closing drawers, walking in and out of the closet, taking as little clothes as possible, packing it in a small suitcase. Lincoln was watching him from the doorway, trying to convince Michael to call off his “plan”.
