Running Away Is Adrenaline

I needed to know why she had picked Louisiana so
I asked " Why this place in specific"? She trying to focus
on what was around her was checking in all directions
then said " Well, I lived here about eight years ago when I
was ten. Right on this very street even." I looked up at the
small, carved, Victorian time sign and read ' Main Street'.
" wow" I remarked. "Yeah but when my dad passed away
my mom moved us to Washington D.C. I got tired of her
being drunk and that's where I met you".
" I'm glad we did" I said with a caring tone. She seemed
a bit more happy. That's when we walked into the local
bar wearing sun glasses ( at seven in the morning under aged
may I add) still no one asked for our I.D cards. When we
glanced up at the T.V everything changed, our story was
being reported as a head story. I became paranoid at this
instance exactly. " Police are now announcing that on top
of stealing money from his parents, killing a high school teacher,
he has ran away kidnapping with him Christian took
Gloria out of anger. We are having a 400 men man hunt for this
serous criminal."

I reached for the remote off of the greasy bar table then clicked
off the television. Gloria looked worried and misunderstood.
I shrugged my shoulders to show I had no idea what to do next
then pointed to the exit, mouthing the words " after you"
