Runaway

I was fast and this time I was able to make it without having to stop. I needed to get away. I was only watching from a distance because I thought the candles were pretty, flickering their lights here and there, to and fro along the dark of night.

But it wasn't pretty for much longer. It was chaotic and in the chaos, I needed to get Daisy safe. Getting her safe was top priority, after getting myself safe. And now the police are running around here more than usual and I don't want them here. I want them gone. I want them to take their investigation elsewhere. They don't know about us, or maybe they do but can't find us. I doubt that we're the top of their list right now anyway. But I don't want them snooping around here anymore.

I want them gone. This is my town, not theirs. They need to go back to their station and stay there like good soldiers and leave the streets to me and mine.
