67 Help, Survival, and Dollar

Carol finally came back to her senses after her crazy binge fest. She was embarrassed, but she didn't stop chewing. A few minutes later, she was already on her fourth bar of chocolate.

Luke made himself green tea which he had just bought from the supermarket.

Selina enjoyed her Dr. Pepper, and Carol had a can of energy drink.

Sipping the tea, Luke asked, "Ms. Carol, what brings you here?"

Carol stopped eating and lowered her head. "Nothing… actually, I just wanted to thank you in person."

Luke remarked, "But the FBI is chasing you, and you may be discovered if you come looking for me. It wasn't a wise decision."

Carol hesitated. "I… I don't know where I can go."

Luke was silent for a while. After much thought, he eventually made a decision. "Carol, it probably wouldn't have ended too badly for you if the FBI team had caught you yesterday, but you might've wanted to kill yourself if it had been the military."
