She’d been edgy and nervous all day, knowing what she planned to do and hoping she wasn’t making a huge mistake. Yet, doing nothing, when she knew he was in danger, wasn’t an option, either.Fifteen minutes before she knew he’d be leaving, she’d allowed herself to change, using the shrubbery to conceal herself. Seconds after he left, she loped down the street, lengthening her stride to keep up with the car yet still remain out of sight.The night was warm, the air heavy with humidity. Before too long, she was sweating beneath her pelt and panting but she kept on, always with the car in sight. At the police station, she hid behind the dumpster while Jesse went inside to check in. Minutes later, he came out with Charlie and they got into his beat-up car.When they drove away, she took off after them. She used buildings and other structures to shield herself when she could. The most nervous situations were when she had to move into the open in order to keep the car in her line of sight.Soon, they left Dolphin City behind and traveled along a two-lane country highway lined with giant oak trees.
