Claire waited there in the dark there for some nervous minutes but she didn't saw any signs of Dave. She knew something was wrong. She was hoping that Dave had ran the other way perhaps but she knew the realistic chance was that Thomas had caught him. And she knew Dave's life was now in danger. She ruled out any chance of her going back in there to rescue Dave quickly and made the decision to go to the cops. With that thought in her mind, she began to run again, it was pitch dark there and she could only see a few yards in front of her. She needed to get back to the town. The cold air night made her shiver more with fear then cold  while the rough asphalt road made the soles of her feet hurt. She would stop every hundred yards to catch back her breath and would start to run again.
