After he Marta's villages, Alex moved quickly and quietly across the fields. Noboby saw him.
He walked and ran, and walked again. It rained all day and all night. He walked through the night, and the next morning - the fourth day - he was very tired and very hungry. He hid in some trees for an hour or two, then he went on south. Always south. To his home town.
'Where can I go?' he thought. 'Perhaps I can escape from the country, but I want to see Olivia again before I leave... or before the police find me. '
But firest he heeded food. He had some money in his pocket - Marta's money. He remembered her words. You take it. I don't need it. An old woman doesn't need money Alex smiled. What a wonderful old woman!
He came to a small town on a river, and found a food shop in a quiet street. He opened the door and went in. There were a lot of people in the shop, and he waited quietly behind them. People looked at him, and a man went out quickly. Alex wanted to run, but he was very hungry, so waitied. Then a woman with her young son came into the shop.
The woman whispered to the boy, and the boy came up to Alex. 'There are two policeman in the street, 'he said very quickly, 'and they're coming here. '
Alex looked quickly at the door, but he could not escape now. Then the shopkeeper called to him, 'hey,.you!' he said. 'Quick! Go out through the back. '
