He calmed the butterflies steadied his breathing, he could see her townhouse across the 3 way junction, his paced quickened just as he was stepping off curb to cross he heard it, the engine revving slightly higher, shoes on pavement not his own, his head turns to see, the headlights hit him he freezes a deer in the headlights, the footsteps two sets, come up behind him accompanied by a hand clamping over his mouth an arm hooking his arms behind his back a second person a step past him scooping up his legs, the sound of a van door sliding open, all Arastoo could see was a masked figure carrying his legs and the light of Cam's townhouse windows and the street lights go dark as the van door is eased shut the vehicle slip away as if never there.
