The needle on the speedometer inched toward 100-mile-per-hour as I glanced at the rearview mirror. He’s relentless, isn’t he? I knew I shouldn’t had waited. I should’ve left the moment I heard snoring. But my baby, I couldn’t leave her. I could never leave my flesh and blood in the hand of that monster.
How did he know? How he caught up so fast?
Putting a little more pressure on the gas pedal, I thought of my baby in the backseat, sleeping without a care in the world. Clenching my teeth, I vowed, I will make it through this alive.

where were the cops when she needed them? she should have been pulled over for speeding and escorted safely away.

It’s most likely because she was on a near-deserted country road. There are no cops there!

Prayers to them for successful escape. Driving through a dark night with a monster chasing her is a real nightmare come to life.
