Chapter 41

• Benson had just fallen asleep when he heard his phone beep. He looked at the screen and saw the interface that always came up whenever any of his cars moved unless he turned it off. He rolled his eyes and tightened his haw. He had warned Alita but she had done it again. She was driving the same car out of the garage. He was going to have to do something dire to punish her.
• He tapped a button the live video feed started playing. He saw her face and his breath hitched. She looked like she had cried. He wondered what had happened. He had never seen her cry. He was broken for her. He saw Julie in the back seat and smiled as he saw her smiling. She was just sitting there having no clue of what was going on. He checked the time and then swiped and tapped his way to the map on his phone to see where they were. He went back to the video feed and the sight broke him. She was sobbing into her hand as she drove.
• What could make her that sad and perturbed that she was crying from deep pain? The kind of pain that is too much and you can’t scream it. It just eats you up from within. He was familiar with that kind of pain. He couldn’t watch any longer so her put his phone away and retired to his thoughts. He thought to call her and ask her what had gone wrong but then she was driving very fast and her concentration was already erratic. Calling her in that state and at that speed might be disastrous so against his emotions and siding with reason, he shove the thought away and closed his eyes.
