It might take longer reaching there.
The path is jagged and I need to yield to traffic from the other side.
There are butterflies in my stomach as I navigate the roads skilfully, with one eye on the look out for a traffic cop.
I am committed to attending the gang’s meeting at the other end of town. Future plans will be laid out after that.
It doesn’t help that I’m in Canada, but do not hold a valid driving license. I reassure myself by touching the gun under the seat. It is my ticket to freedom if trouble erupts.

good build up of tension hopefully the gun won’t be needed.

I researched the sign, and it said Quebec, Canada. Canada had me thinking about criminals parked there and not being extradited.

Dear Reena,
The gun could be her ticket to somewhere. Not sure it’s freedom. Good build of tension.
Shalom,

I’d say driving without a valid license is the least of this person’s worries. Yes, unfortunately, some immigrants are not nice people and in fact are dangerous criminals and terrorists.

The countries that host them should help in extradition.

It was all along. Now I guess we are realising. They give refuge to political assassins and dubious leaders.
