And so, although the road was tortuous, climbing steeply up the mountain, I kept my foot pressed hard on the gas pedal. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see that my husband was looking quietly into the green fairly far below.

I hurried him on and we soon arrived at the front door. As planned I had forgotten the key. I did open my personal car over and that gave me the opportunity to release the safety catch on the gun I had borrowed from my husband's belongings.
