Hairy arms? Lila's blood froze.
This wasn't a woman. It was a man.
At first, she didn't know what to do. Then suddenly, an idea came into her racing, terrified brain. Swinging the wheel suddenly, she threw the car into a skid, and brought it to a halt.
"My God!" she shouted, "A child! Did you see the child? I think I hit her!"
The "old lady" was clearly shaken by the sudden skid. "I didn't see anything dear," she said. "I don't think you hit anything."
"I'm sure it was a child!" insisted Lila. "Could you just get out and have a look? Just see if there's anything on the road?" She held her breath. Would her plan work?
