Chapter 23 - Action!

When Anna heard this, she was slightly confused but when she saw the same car in the rear mirror which was there, in front of the school, she got an idea what Alex was trying to do. After all, she can never afford her identity to get exposed.

"Alex, we have to make sure these people don't know to get to know where my home is."

"I'm increasing my speed. You don't have a phobia of high speeding cars right?" asked Alex.

This question made Anna mute. Some old thoughts came into her mind.

'Racecar, cliff, brakes, an accident...'

"ANNA?!?!"

She came back to reality when Alex touched her hand.

"Yeah. I don't have any problem. Just make sure that these people are left behind."

"I will try my best." Saying this Alex increased his speed from 80 Kmph to 120 Kmph.

His grip on the steering was so tight that the veins of his hand can be visible.

They passed by many cars and the car behind them had too increased their speed. After a minute they felt that the car was left behind but to their surprise, it was still behind them.

"On the highway, it is impossible to beat them so we have to go somewhere, where there is more crowd," suggested Anna.

"Let's go to the Street market."

"Yeah."

On the way, Alex made so many turns that led to the street market.

The people inside the car behind them got confused and took the wrong way.

When Anna and Alex saw that the people behind them were not there anymore, they sighed in relief.

"Alex, your driving skills are really good," commented Anna.

"I learned it when I was 15."

"Nice."

"Let's go to your home."

...

.....

.....

"Alex, can you drop me somewhere else? You know what if those people are still following and they are following the car."

"Are these people trailing you?" asked Alex with slight confusion.

"How would I know?" It's not like she doesn't know but she can lie bluntly.

"I'm a girl and it's not good that some bad people know about my house. You understand?"

"Yeah," said Alex who still had questions in his eyes but he knew that he would come to know the answers soon.

He dropped her near a cafe.

"Take care. When you reach home just message me or call okay?" asked Alex with concern.

Seeing Alex's concern she was moved a little but she knew he was asking her because he considered her timid.

"Hmm. Don't worry, I will message you. Drive safe."

Alex's car disappeared from Anna's sight and she started walking towards her house.

She took a cab and went home.

.....

When She came home, she saw her mother sitting on the couch waiting for her arrival.

'Today is for sure, the series of questions are waiting for me!' this thought came into her mind as she slowly made her way to the hall.
