Taken

Chapter 043 Reese To get rid of the beads of sweat accumulating on my forehead while I stayed concealed beside the red sedan, I ran my trembling hand across it. I attempted to soothe the intense thumping in my chest, a consequence of my heightened heart rate, by shutting my eyes and gripping my shirt as firmly as possible. It was as if I was playing a game of hide and seek with the devil, and the punishment for being found would be drag into hell. The man's head abruptly turned left at the crossroads. Spotting the red sedan in the distance, he started heading towards it, all the while keeping a calm demeanor on his face. I pressed my lips together to remain silent while the sound of his approaching footsteps grew louder, signaling that he was drawing nearer to me. A single step would have been needed for him to locate me, but instead he stopped in his tracks. I pressed my teeth firmly against my lower lip, clamping my trembling hands over my mouth to stifle the uncontrollable breaths.
