Stop in front of the car repair place, turn off the engine. Keep a distance behind the big black BMW car already standing there, the one with the driver stumping about impatiently. The man is overweight, and is most comfortable walking by swaying his body from side to side, from one foot to another. The shop is still shut, so listen to the eight o'clock news, and by the time that is over the BMW has been taken into the repair shop. Take the papers and the key into the shop, and hand them over to the clerk.
Walk back home, past the home for the fugitives. It is quiet there, perhaps they are all asleep. It is still cool this morning, walking is easy and pleasant.
It is nine in the morning, the son is doing his schoolwork now, and the wife is still asleep. She was up late watching television last night.
