Short story (I)
It was a quiet and warm night of July. Harriet was looking at the lake in front of her house. The moon reflected on the dark water. It was a nice picture but she was worry, thinking about her newest published article and because of that she couldn't enjoy that beautiful view. It didn't matter. Nothing could be more important than her thoughts that night.
She didn't know what to do. She was stand there wasting her time instead of make a decision. At the time, a vehicle arrived to the house. The driver turned off the car and walked through the path that went to the house. She could hear every step the driver made but she did nothing, even she didn't turn around when the driver was behind her.
"It's time to run away", the voice said. She didn't answer. She was petrified and stood in silence.
"Harriet?", the voice said, "We have to go". At the time, she turned around and walked to the car looking to the ground. She was sad and tired.
Both entered into the car. He offered her a cigarette and she took it. Then, he gave her a light. She smoked, breathed and felt a bit relaxed.
"They are looking for you.", he said.
"Where are you bringing me?" she asked.
"First to a safer place. Then I will get you a fake passport and then you will cross the border."
"Are you sure that is the best plan?"
"There is no other way but you have my support. You did the right thing."
He started the engine of the car and rushed.
One hour later a cellular rang and she woke up. The cellular belonged to him but he didn't answer.
"How long is it?", she asked.
"We're arriving".
They arrived to a motel, one of these with old-fashioned furniture and paper on the walls but clean. They entered into the room and she sat on the bed. "I'll be back with the passport and other stuff for you. You have two or three hours to rest." She answered nothing, she just laid on the bed. He left the room and closed the door.
She woke up to a noise. Someone was opening the door. It was daylight and he said "Wake up! And put this wig".
