“I told you I’d pick you up. Why did you leave on your own?” Abel grumbled.

“I…” Emmeline stammered. “Help me remove the bag from my head.”

“No,” Abel said. “You’ll become a hostage if they get their hands on you.”

Emmeline thought it made sense. She hugged Abel’s neck tightly with both her arms.
