The random article:
She glanced around in despair, hemmed in on both sides. She was as trapped by the lanes of moving traffic as she’d been by the fence.
Narrowing her gaze against the rain, she focused on the silver SUV headed toward her in the center lane. A dozen or so feet separated it from the semi coming up behind it. She tensed, ready. The instant the SUV splashed past, Tobie sprinted across the lane. The semi’s massive grill bore down on her, its horn blaring as it thundered past in a sucking whoosh of hot air.
She paused, her hands braced on her knees as she bent over, trembling. She now had two lanes of traffic between herself and the killer. But the traffic was moving faster. She had to get out of there.
Her heart pounding, she eyed the laden car carrier lumbering toward her in the center lane. Loaded with Volkswagens that gleamed white and red and silver in the rain, it had a steel ladder riveted right behind the cab.
As the transport rumbled past, Tobie grabbed the rungs of the ladder. Her feet slipped off the wet bottom rung and for a moment she dangled painfully from her outstretched arms, the pavement rushing dizzily beneath her, the truck’s gears grinding as the driver accelerated. Gritting her teeth, she managed to pull herself up and squeezed her body into the narrow space between the back of the cab and the first car.
She crouched there, her breath rasping painfully in her throat as the transport whizzed past the FBI agent. She’d have sworn he stared right at her. But she must have been hidden by the shadows, because he simply turned away, his gaze scanning the lines of cars as they picked up speed.
Gingerly, she eased back on her haunches and squeezed her eyes shut. She was safe.
For now.
