Sawyer began to drive, Kate didn't know where and she must admit it scared her slightly, normally it wouldn't have she'd got lifts from much stranger men during her years on the run, her only worry was she would miss something… something she couldn't miss.
"Why you lookin so worried Sassafras?" Sawyer drawled looking across at her.
"Maybe because I'm in a car with a stranger" She replied curtly.
"What ya momma tell you not to talk to strangers?" He asked sarcastically, when he got no reply he added "Hell, it aint like I'm that much of a stranger anyway" He said giving her a suggestive look.
"Shut up" She said a mixture or embarrassment and disgust crossing her face. "Where are we going anyway?" She asked changing the subject.
"Wherever you wanna go little lady" He drawled lazily.
"What?" She asked.
"I said were going wherever you wanna go" Sawyer repeated.
"What makes you think I have anywhere to go?" She asked.
"Nothin but I didn't say where you hafta go did I? I said where ya wanna go"
"What makes you think I'd want to go anywhere with you?" She asked incredulously.
"Maybe the fact that you're on the run from the cops, obviously you aint got no money or you wouldn't have taken mine" He listed "And you obviously aint got no way to get around or you wouldn't have gotten into this truck with me"
Kate was left speechless; he had just about summed her up in one sentence. It was definitely true she was on the run, anyone would know that if they knew who she was, true she had no money, true she had no way to get around… get where she needed to go. She made a decision.
He was obviously some southern hillbilly with a criminal record of some sort, nothing to dangerous or the police would have picked him up at the hotel… but enough for him to be a 'professional'.
She would simply use him to get where she needed to go, and then run like she always did. It was easy, she remembered with a pang of guilt how she had seduced Jason and got him to rob the bank… but this wasn't the time to reflect, it was the time to plan.
He was, as he said before, a 'professional' she had seen the proof for herself, no doubt this would make him harder to get rid of… but he would definitely be helpful where she was going, he had already proved that once.
"I suppose your right" She whispered eventually.
"So you got somewhere ya wanna go?" He asked.
"No" She replied "But I got somewhere I need to go"
"Where to then Freckles" He asked.
"Iowa" She whispered, turning her head to look out of the window, trying to hide the tears that pooled in her eyes.
