Hitching A Ride–1
Pacing the bedroom, Genesis was trying to find ways to get out. After kicking and smashing at the door, which was locked from the outside, she tried the windows. They were four floors up. Though he only brought her up one flight of stairs, it was apparent one side of the house was higher than the other and this side was the taller one.
Moving back to the window she watched as Kiefer left the house, his face and neck a bright shade of red as if in a rage. His footsteps were fast and then he was pressing a key fob to open the garage. In minutes he came tearing out of the
garage in a sports car and was gone through the gates and onto the street, his tires blackening the asphalt as they spun.
He was gone. He’d left. She wasn’t sure how long he was
going to be gone but she realized this was the time for her
to escape. She needed to find a way out of this room and this house. Racing back to the door she tugged and pulled and kicked it again. Looking all around the room she was searching for something to break through the door.
Her eye caught the lamp on the nightstand, and she grabbed it. It was heavy and made of metal. She removed the shade and the bulb and then unplugged it. Swinging it multiple 16:43

doorknob off, she could get the door open.
“Come on, Genesis, you need to do this and get home.” Astra
and Egan were waiting for her at their rendezvous spot.
She felt her heart stop when the doorknob dangled precariously. She smashed it three more times and finally it fell to the floor. She fidgeted with the internal mechanisms of the knob which were stuck holding the door closed and then got it opened. Sticking her head into the hall, she listened for
voices.
Tiptoeing down the stairs Kiefer carried her up, she could hear yelling coming from a room near the bottom. Ducking behind a door she covered her mouth to try to hide the sound
of her breathing.
Tadgh, Jerren, and Aoife were arguing.
“You didn’t like her either Tadgh!”
“Are you kidding me right now?” Tadgh grumbled. “I always liked her, but I didn’t like the way she made him react. He was so into her, he wasn’t thinking clear. He fucking married her within weeks of meeting her. He was reckless and unlike himself and it freaked me the hell out. But then I spent time

good woman, Aoife and you destroyed our brother’s
happiness over a bullshit scheme of wanting to have Laoise as your sister.”
“She deserves it more.”
“Why?”
“Because she’s done things for this family and that bitch hasn’t.”
“By your logic, you shouldn’t be part of the family then. You’ve never done anything for the family business.”
Genesis decided she’d heard enough. She looked around for an exit and her eyes widened at the sight by the front door. Someone had dropped her backpack and shopping bag by the front door. It couldn’t be this easy, could it?
She ran to the door and grabbed the bags and then ran back into the house, ducking into a side room. She knew better than to try to simply walk out the front door. There were bound to be soldiers everywhere.
She transferred some of her things from the shopping bag into the backpack and then looked at the cheap cell phone. ŝe needed to find a way to get it charged. For now, though,
