They sat there until the dark car sped by. Jennifer lifted her eyebrow and stared at Max.<br/><br/>"Did it ever dawn on you that those thugs might be after  you?"<br/><br/>She unsnapped the buckle on the seat harness.<br/>"Maybe I better just go on here alone. For real. I didn't have anyone shooting at me until I met you." She tried the door but the safety locks that offered extra security held while the motor was running. Jenn frowned at him.<br/><br/>"If we stick together, here is what we need to try. Get us to the next big city. Park in the lot of a busy shopping mall. wipe this car down well and walk to the closest bus station. No one will be looking for us on the bus, at least my people won't be this far out, I don't think. Pick some oddball destination and then get a different car there."<br/><br/>Max just shook his head at her.<br/>"You either have lived a sneaky little life, or you read too much."<br/><br/>Jennifer laughed a mirthless laugh.<br/>"My foster mother loved cop shows. CSI. Law and Order, Rissolli and Isles, Bones, NCIS. you name it, we had to watch them. You can learn to be a pretty good crook that way."
