Caroline never did find out if her father had found the Malibu parked at the train station 150 miles away. She’d run out of gas and the $50 in her purse wasn’t going to go as far in the tank of that guzzler as it would at the bus station. She parked it at the train station to try and misdirect any pursuit and walked the two miles to the Greyhound. $45 later and she had a ticket heading east and hopefully far enough away from her old life that she’d never be found.<\/p>\n

Her childhood had been an endless nightmare of one torture after another and she had made plenty sure he knew about it. All he cared about was getting back out there and heaping more indignities on her.<\/p>\n
Well she we was done with that. She was never going back; she’d die first if that’s what it took. Caroline stood up and leaned in close to the mirror. “It was only a fucking rodent. It probably deserved to die,” she steeled herself. “You care about yourself and not the rest of the fucking world, just like the rest of those fuckers. Then you’ll be golden\u2026”<\/p>\n
