"I… can't go to the city with you."
The driver pulled onto the shoulder, glancing at the older woman first before looking at Adam.
"But… where will you go?" she asked.
"I'll probably still go in the city to grab some things, but I can't go in with you," Adam replied with a sigh. "The police… are probably already waiting at the exit to help you. I can't be there when it happens."
"But you saved us," the older woman said. Adam didn't really respond anymore, only sighing again as he started to move.
The driver didn't really say anything else, and just unlocked the doors for Adam to step out—the smile on her face, however, told everything she wanted to say to him.
Adam stepped down, practically leaping out of the cab. He was about to leave just like that, not saying a word at all as he started walking away. But before he could take his third step, the oldest woman also got off the cab and called out to him.
"Stop."
He turned around, only for the woman's arms to wrap around him.
