The eyes of Officer Green slits. “Your wife… right?” his tone skeptical.

Austin said, "Yeah they were harassing my wife so I fuckin beat the shit out of them.”

Officer Green's eyes lit up with disbelief. He laughed a dry, bone-chilling laugh. "You think you are above the law? What are we even here for if people decide to start punishing themselves? What's your name?”

    Austin’s glare at Christopher was sharp and his eyes gave off a warning message. He told Chris, "Chris, stop what you are doing," his voice calm and steady.Christopher did not want to hear what the others had to say. Anyway, how did you both ended up to the Santa Barbara police station? “You were supposed to arrive in Los Angeles two days earlier. What happened?"Austin looked out the window and when he turned back he saw Sara watching him in the mirror. For a moment, they looked each other and the tension was very much in the air. It's a very long story," Austin said finally, his voice measured. "I'll tell you later."Sara was confused about what might follow if Austin told Christopher the whole story. If he disclosed all the details—the motorcycle gang, the fight and the false marriage story—she would be terribly embarrassed. .The thought of Christopher knowing all the details made Sara's face burn with shame. She couldn't imagine facing him, or worse, Austin's parents, with the

    Sara was saddened when she stepped away, looking at Austin all the while. However, Austin’s face stayed calm as his eyes focused on the leader of the bikers. The atmosphere was full of tension and being around them felt like the air was getting heavy with hope.The biker’s leader looked at Sara’s face, taking his time to examine her features. He looked at her with a voice full of hate and said, "Well, well, well," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "Look what we have here. If it isn't the little girl who likes to run away."Sara's face erupted in anger and fear as she stood paralyzed not knowing what to do. Austin on the other hand, gave no indication of nervousness and right in the biker leader. Austin said, “You're going to apologize to my woman.”For barely a split second, the biker faltered and snorted something more vulgar than the grin had dared.

    In reality, ma'am," answered Austin with a light chuckle. "I am not only a colleague but something more. Sara and I are...dating. We are in a committed relationship with each other.”At the other end of the phone, everything fell quiet and Austin heard—through her silence—that Sara’s mom was not happy. “What did you just say something?” She said in a voice that sounded serious and sure of her.Austin repeated himself, enjoying the drama that was unfolding. "Sara and I are in a relationship. We're very serious about each other."

    Sara’s eyelids grew heavy from all the driving. No sign of light shone outside and all that could be heard was the gentle sound of the engine.Austin maintained his focus on the road in front, using just a few little movements to steer the car around each turn. There was a silence between them.Sara slightly went off to sleep, her head moving lower and lower as time passed. She noticed the car going forward, but soon she couldn’t fight off sleep anymore and closed her eyes. Without realizing it, she fell asleep and her breathing became relaxed.He didn’t notice, his mind elsewhere and occupied driving. As he kept watching over the long silence, he realized that Sara was leaning against the door, looking cold as the air-conditioning didn’t seem to be enough. He gave himself a little smile.He quickly reached out, changed the temperature and checked that she wouldn’t feel cold. He looked over at her and realized she was still shivering. Quickly, he threw off his jacket and placed it ove

    George slowly pulled into the driveway and the sound of his truck could be heard in the still night. The sun was slowly sinking down, lighting up the surroundings softly. Sara stood there, frowning, as she saw that Austin wasn’t home.She questioned softly, “Where’s Austin?”George got out of the truck and it was clear the weight of the day was on him. He assured me, “He didn’t want to leave the car, so he’ll wait until it’s repaired.”her expression shifted, her eyes revealing a little worry. She gave a slow nod, but the unease wasn’t going away.George shrugged and added in a soft voice, “There’s nothing to worry about.
