meet Amber. He checked his watch. It had been exactly and hour
since he left her room. Derek waited twenty minutes before going
back upstairs. He knocked on her door but got no answer. He went
back downstairs and checked the lobby and the breakfast room but
saw no sign of Amber.
Derek was starting to get worried as he
walked up to the front desk to inquire after her. He got angry when
he found out she had checked out. Hurrying back upstairs, Derek
quickly packed his bags, checked out of his own room and followed
her. The tracking device would lead him right to her.

Derek cursed out loud as he slapped his hand
against the steering wheel. He had lost her. She had at least an
hour head start and he thought he had been following her only to
discover she had traded cars on him.
Very clever, Amber, he thought. Hopefully
that would keep her stalker at bay long enough for Derek to track
her down. He had already put out an APB on the new car she had
purchased with strict instructions not to pull her over. He just
wanted to know where she would be staying for the night. For now,
he was stuck. He had no idea which direction she had gone.
His rumbling stomach reminded him he had
missed breakfast. Derek drove off the car lot and turned into town.
He stopped at a Huddle House and gobbled down the eggs and bacon
the waitress brought him. Swallowing the coffee quickly, Derek
headed back out the door. He had no idea which way to go but he
couldn’t sit around and wait.
Derek suddenly remembered the atlas he saw
laying on the nightstand the night before. He had thumbed through
it noting the highlighted routes. It looked newly purchased so she
must have gotten it shortly after she left New Orleans. Derek
decided to try his luck driving south. He found the nearest
interstate and started heading towards Florida.
Amber drove for five hours before stopping.
She was starving since she had missed breakfast but she didn’t dare
stop sooner. She pulled into a Burger King and ran in to go to the
bathroom. She ordered her lunch to go and stopped at the nearest
gas station to fill up. As she was gassing up, she noticed a patrol
car drive by, back up and turn into the gas station. He seemed to
be looking at her car.
Amber’s heart sank. What had she done that
the police would be looking for her? She watched the police car
drive away and breathed a sigh of relief. Amber paid for the gas,
jumped back into her car and headed down a back country road. She
had alternated between back roads and interstates all morning. She
had not even made it out of South Carolina because of the
circuitous route she was taking, but she was positive no one was
following her.
Continuing on to the south, Amber cranked up
her radio and sang along to the local county station. The back
roads and highways took longer to drive but she saw some beautiful
countryside along the way. Later that evening, before it got dark,
Amber got back on the interstate to find a hotel in a more
populated area. She had finally crossed over into Georgia but she
did not plan on staying in that state long. She would drive down to
Florida through Alabama even though it would take her longer. She
didn’t want to be in the place where her nightmare began.
She wasn’t sure her stalker actually lived in
Georgia, but she wasn’t taking any chances. Besides, if she got to
close, she might give into the urge to drop in and see Olivia.
Amber knew she just couldn’t take that chance.
She was running again. He was surprised she
had taken off so quickly this time. He didn’t even see her leave.
No worries. He would wait. She would revel herself in time. He had
become an expert at waiting since meeting her. He would wait
again.
Derek got the call about two that Amber was
in a small town only about thirty minutes from where he was. He
smiled to himself. Yes she was trying to run but his resources
would allow him to keep tabs on her.
