“Aren’t we gonna get caught for this?” asked Willow uneasily as she returned to the passenger seat. She had grown up being a good girl and a law-abiding citizen. Sitting in the stolen vehicle, she couldn’t help feeling at prick of conscience, because the camper van’s owner’s trip was now ruined thanks to them. “No, we won’t,” replied Jasper impassively.
“Why are you so confident of that?!” “I’ve hacked all the surveillance cameras along the way. The police can’t track us down.” That’s how confident I am, thought Jasper.
Willow’s beautiful eyes goggled with astonishment at his words. So, the program running on his laptop was to turn off the surveillance cameras along the way? Just what kind of stuff did this guy learn?
He’s got extraordinary fighting skills and such a high degree of intelligence. He’s got really good DNA! All of a sudden, the idea of stealing the man’s DNA sprang up in her mind. As soon as it crossed her mind, however, she blushed crimson with embarrassment. Pfft! How could I have such an idea?!
Just then, Jasper turned on the music, perhaps. because he thought it was stuffy inside the camper van. As the especially nerve-soothing music entered her mind, Willow watched the evening landscape flash past the window. It doesn’t feel bad to be on the run like this! As she kept watching, however, she drifted off to sleep, her head leaning against the window.
By the time she woke up, it was pitch dark outside the window. She had absolutely no ideal where she was; Jasper, who had been next to her, was nowhere to be found. “Jasper!” she called out his name in fright.
Just then, the door opened, and Jasper showed up immediately. “What’s wrong?”
Seeing the man, Willow couldn’t help but feel. somewhat embarrassed. She explained, “Nothing. I thought something happened to you just now. Where are we?”
“A wilderness, he replied. She involuntarily turned to look out the window, and sure enough, she saw tall, lush trees that covered the sky and obscured the sun. At this late hour, this scene looked kind of scary. However, her keen nose caught a whiff of cooked food, which she had been missing for a long time. Smells like some grilled steak.
