grabs my hand leading it to his heart, his was pumping. I felt glad for his kindness and knowing what I wanted. I just couldn’t help myself and gave him a hug.
“Thanks.” I whispered to his left ear and gave him a peck on his cheek. He smiles.
Chapter Twelve
We three walked all the way back to the clearing, Max was still holding my hand and Jeremy was to my right, all three of us were in silence. The day had turn morning to afternoon. The sun was high to the west settling down to give way to the night. As soon as we hit the clearing I sat down next to where I had left the backpack.
“What did you whispered to Marino?” I asked as soon as Max sat beside me putting his head on my lap and I caressed his dark mane. Jeremy stayed standing.
“I told him I would look after you.”
“There will be no need for that. Go back to your master like the dog you have become.” I said and looked down at Max. It was only a few minutes, but he had fallen asleep already. “I can take care of myself if you can remember.”
He said nothing. Looking at me he runs his hands over his hair. “Listen Sara, you need to know…”
“Stop, no need to say or explain, just simply go, leave us alone, if you feel that you can tell me tomorrow I will be at the same park. Now go.” I said and looked down at sleeping Max. His breathing nice and continues, right hand on his chest feeling the beat of his heart. My left on his hair making twirls of it and I never had felt so normal in my entire life, well as normal as one could be drifting from place to place.
I started to hum and old song I had stuck in my mind for many years, never knowing the name of it or the words, just the humming of it. Jeremy had left, knowing that we would see him the next morning in the park I was always true to my word. I did wondered what he wanted to say.
As the rest of the day went by with the o nly event of Max sleeping in my lap and me looking up to the sky as the last of the sun filtered through the leaves of the trees, the wind slowly blowing as the they danced to that magical sound of Maxes heartbeat. I was still humming my tune when Max opened his eyes as soon as the night took over.
“Hello there Miss Sara,” h e said looking up. And I looked down.
“Hello there.” I said as our eyes met.
“It has been a long day for us hasn’t it, Miss Sara?”
“Yea,” I said looking up at the leaves sw aying in the night’s wind, my hair flies all over my face as I heard someone stepping in the clearing. I pulled the hair from my face and looked at the man in front of us. It was a cop.
“Hey,” he said almost screaming, “You, what are you doing here. Don’t you know there is mad man roaming the forest,” still almost a scream. Max stood up and the cop put a light to his face. Max squint his eyes as he raised one hand to his face to shield from it. I stood beside Max.
“Sorry officer we were just resting here for a little while that is all.” He said
“Wait a second, I remember that voice.” He said, “Take your hand off you face boy and no funny stuff.”
Max did as told as the cop took out his gun. “You on the ground now, put your hands behind your back.” He screamed at Max, and he did. “You Miss, do to. No funny stuff.”
I did as the cop asked me to do and we stayed there waiting. I looked at Max and he was smiling. I said nothing only nodded my head slightly, saying a big no. He just kept smiling. The cop walks closer to us.
“I remember you; you were the driver of the yellow car, weren’t you? And you were at the back seat.” He said as he came closer to us with his gun drawn. He clicked a black box on his shoulder and spoke towards it. “This is Officer Jefferson; I have two of the suspects in custody in black wood, need immediate back up. He moved closer, Max still smiles; I nod again and mouthed the word. The cop had both eyes towards us slightly from the right as he still
