Kelly heard the steel cart approach and fear crept into her mind. ' God, please help me' she silently prayed.
The cart came up to the van.
" Somebody please help me" she quietly mumbled to herself under the masking tape.
" Can you please put the groceries behind the front seat?" he asked. He grinned because he heard no sounds coming from the back of the van.
" Sure"
After the young sacker had finished, he shook the young man's hand. " What's the quickest way to get to North Highway 4?".
The young man pointed north. " Robert's Avenue turns into North Highway 4".
" Is there a gas station before the end of town?".
" Yes, Sammy's Express".
He found the gas station and pulled into one of the station's bays. He got out and began to fill up the tank.
As he walked away to pay for the gas. Kelly began to smell something she had not smelled in many years. ' Funnel cakes' she thought as a smile came to her taped mouth. Whenever her Daddy took her to the county fair, they always got a funnel cake. She wondered if there was a bakery near the gas station.
He got back into the van and slowly turned right onto North Highway 4.
