Danielle peeked over the hedge that was dividing her from the stables. There were few places in San Diego to get a horse and this was one of them. She looked around for anyone who might see her and almost didn't see the guy feeding the horses inside. He was going to take a long time since he was going to feed and groom the horses. Danielle's patience wasn't in the mood to be tested. She pulled herelf underneath the hedge and crouched on the other side where the stable was. The man hadn't heard her. She slowly stood up and crept up behind him when he turned to feed the next horse. He fell to the ground after she hit him as hard as she could in the back of his neck with her elbow.<br/><br/>"Sorry." she said sarcastically as she opened the stall to a black mustang.<br/><br/>The horse was used to seeing new faces everyday, so it didn't freak out when she approached. She petted it's neck and put a saddle on it.<br/><br/>"Good horsey." she said as she prepared it for the ride.<br/><br/>As soon as everything was in place, she hopped up onto the saddle and rode out of there. On her way out, she had caught the attention of a few employees. Danielle squeezed the mustang's stomach with her legs to move the pace up to a run. A couple witnesses mounted the saddled horses that they had planned on using for riding lessons for some kids. Danielle rode off into the desert as fast as she could on the horse and looked back every once in a while to see if she had lost them.<br/><br/>It was about twenty minutes later that she had gotten so far that the people chasing her had turned back. Danielle assumed that they were going to call the cops as soon as they got back. To make sure that she didn't get caught, she changed her direction and went straight that way. Several hours must have gone by when she reached a small town. She decided that the place would work until she was discovered and had to make another escape. She tied the horse to a post and headed toward what appeared to be a huge crowd. There were many shouts coming from there. She moved next to someone and noticed a badge.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"So this is the person I need to avoid."</span>she mentally told herself.<br/><br/>She turned her back toward the sheriff and moved where she hoped she wouldn't be visible.
