The Wall

108

What would Sandi do?

She would look for him. Of course. So he just needed to stand somewhere where she could see him as she drove by. Only problem was that they’d probably catch him before she did that. Standing out somewhere wouldn’t work.

What would?

Look for her himself. But then they might just keep missing each other, end up going down the wrong streets over and over again. They’d definitely catch him then.

At the end of the street, Moses caught sight of a garbage truck turning the corner. A couple of people were running behind the truck and throwing in the stuff sitting on the side of the road. And behind the truck, Moses briefly glimpsed the old ambulance. It didn’t turn, but drove straight ahead. In the general direction from which he had just come. Sandi was looking for him.

Hide well enough that no one will see me. But such that I can see the street that Sandi will have to drive down. To see but not be seen. Moses looked around. A couple was now running around the corner that the garbage truck had just rounded. They dove for cover behind a small wall. Strange, he thought. But that wasn’t his concern.
