A driving lesson
Dawn. Back in the little shed, eating a junk food picnic from the program’s kitchen. Inés was so frightened it took her a day to stop shaking.
But she was thinking more clearly now. She had to make a decision. There were less options for food. The only places she could scavenge it were supermarket rubbish bins late at night. Sometimes she had to chase the rats away. As her mind recovered, she realised that her life was growing more and more limited. And at the back of her mind, there was Arturo, Maria José and the others. How she missed them all! (Not that she’d ever tell them that!)
They’re gone, she told herself. You can’t find them and they can’t find you, even if they want to. Your younger self, the one who was always alone, has returned. No big deal.
Her only reasonably good idea was to return to the old hideout in Pitis. It was a nice safe distance from the program’s apartment. But how would she find it? She didn’t know the address, but the real issue was Madrid itself. It was huge. Although she had a good sense of direction, without the map on her phone she may as well be blind.
