Begrudgingly the children agreed with their father that they had to leave for their own safety. None of them thought Debbie would ever hurt them. In his heart of hearts Steve didn't think so either. But Erica was another story entirely. Right now it seemed that they were traveling as a pair. For what end? Only time would tell. Steve wasn't willing to take the very real chance of them showing up.
All five piled into the car. Steve drove like a mad man hoping to beat any roadblocks that were being setup. It was like deja vu all over again. Beth did her best to calm the children. Saying that father was just taking extra precaution. Steve loved that about Beth. Even though she barely knew them she took time to comfort them like their mother would when he couldn't be their father.
Despite Steve's best effort the main roads out of town were already blocked off. They weren't getting out that easily.
"Why don't we just go to my house Steve? I have plenty of room, for you and the kids." Beth suggested.
"No we can't Beth. My guess, if Debbie is still who I think she is then she'll go to the family house first. When she doesn't find us there she might go looking at your place." Steve explained.
Beth got a bit of a sick look on her face. She made sure to lean in close and whisper so the kids in the back didn't hear.
"Do you think she knows?" Beth said in her church mouse voice.
"Not sure. But she already seemed a bit paranoid when I last spoke to her. No telling what kind of effect the growth may have had on her." Steve whispered back.
"It's getting dark. Pull over at this motel. We need some time to think." Beth asked and Steve obliged.
Truthfully Beth wanted some time alone with Steve to tell him how she truly felt about this whole mess. Maybe a little bit of stress relief as well. Under the guise of buying two separate rooms on opposite sides of the motel she might just get her wish.
