<strong>Emma</strong><br/><br/>She was so happy to see a woman slowing down for her. She smiled and moved to the car. "Yeah thanks for this. Damn hunk of junk, I knew I should have taken the bus." Emma slid in next to the pretty woman.  "I really do appreciate this. Maybe I can get a bus to L.A. when we get to town. I'm Emma by the way. I can give you a little cash when we get there, but it won't be much, hope that's ok. God what a desolate street, I should have stuck to the highway, but I figured this short cut would have been faster. Hey thanks again for helping me out. I really do appreciate it." Emma settled back into the seat, little did she know it would be the last taste of freedom she would ever have.
