| Chapter 12 |
| (Howie’s View) I hid Kara so that she would be safe. I didn’t want her to get hurt. I walked to the corner & watched the 3 men hold up the lines & ask for me. Now I was worried. I was curious what they wanted, but I also wanted to get out of her with Kara alive. I pulled my baseball cap down over my eyes & played it cool. I picked up the phone & called home. An unfamiliar person picked up the phone. I hung up & put my phone away. One of the men came over to me. “Do you know someone by the name of Howard Dorough,” he asked. “Yeah, isn't he in one of them boybands the Busstreet Boys or something like that,” I said in my best punk sounding voice. “Have you seen him around here,” “Yeah, I think I saw him leaving one of those pizza parlors over there he went that way,” “Did he have a little girl with him,” “Yeah he did,” “Thanks you have been most helpful,” Now I had to get Kara out of here. I pulled her from the box & put my extra baseball cap on her head. I walked to the exit & got on a tram. I ran to my car & quickly got in. Then I got out of there as fast as I could. Now all I had to do is to find somewhere safe to go & home wasn’t an option. |
