I need to take a walk into the fields to run my mind relaxly. My mother told me it was ok to take a walk but warned me not to speak to strangers. The rules were to go walk and come back. For some reason my story went a little differently..

I needed a day to myself where I could see clear on a road. Though I wasn’t driving enough my legs had to be in some type of activity. My best activity was walking the way. I asked my mom if I could go take a walk through the trails in the same direction towards a pond nearby. She always said “ I know you are smart , I know you like to walk but can you remember not to speak to strangers “?. Of course I told her I wouldn’t do that plus it was in the best of my nature to focus on walking, not really paying attention to other people. I began to walk in the most comfortable pair of shoes. These foam padding in my shoes pushed me to wanna take a further walk, deeper than my original distance. I saw a girl who looked like she could be my age but not really. She waved at me. Ok so I know my mom told me not to speak to strangers but it would’ve been very rude if I did not speak back. From that wave went a conversation rage. We didn’t have any feud but our conversation was rising up in good ways. Though she is a stranger, we were talking like we haven’t seen each other in years and were just catching up.

In the midst of the conversation she asked me my name and asked if I was willing to continue my walk with her. I was set at a comfortable level to go finish my walk with a stranger. We decided to go up a back trail through a park with steps coming up ahead. She asked me “ have you ever been up this way”?. I responded and told her no. Something about this way looked familiar. My eyes couldn’t paint the view but mentally something was in my head I couldn’t piece in 3d. I asked her where she lives, but she didn’t respond. At first I thought to myself maybe it was rude to ask her about a home she may or may not have. I stopped to tie my shoe then I saw a boy coming towards us. He looked at the girl I was walking with and asked her if she have 20$ he could borrow until the next hour. I said hey to this boy he nodded sup. She gave him 20$ then said to him I will be back at this spot waiting for you. I asked her how she knew him and she mentioned it was a friend since childhood. I then asked her how old are you? She says I’m 26. Then I asked, "What is your name? She said wazula. Wazula is a gorgeous name, but I wonder what all came with her package.

During the walk through the trail we finally reached the top of the stairs that led to the park. Wazula asks me what was the cause of my walk. I told her I normally do walks a lot to help keep a clear mindset, and healthy body figure. “Do you have a curfew?” Wazula asked me. I said no, but I should be heading home soon due to the fact I have a busy day tomorrow. Wazula said she just purchased her a new car a few weeks ago and asked if I was willing to go check it out. OFFFFF COURSEEEEE I said so happily and confused at the same time. We started walking off I assume going towards her car in which it is somewhere park. We arrived at the destination of her car but I was still confused about the area. I asked her if she lives in these apartments. “ Well my cousin's husband’s brother is currently staying with me but yes this is both ours” said Wazula. I said ok that’s nice, how long have you had this car? About 3 weeks, Wazula said. I began to get this rough cough where I can feel mucus breaking up in my lungs as if I was congested for weeks.

Wazula offered that we go inside for a while at least till my coughing slows down, and even offered to take me home in her car. It was a plan. I met her company guest who was staying with her. His name is Cavi’er. I spoke to him saying how are you?. Due to the fact I’m walking in someone’s home, and he responded with silence but with a stare of unbalanced eyeball movement. The kindness of my heart wanted to be more accepting of others but my other energy did not like this tea I was standing in. Wazula told Cavi’er that we met on the walk and I was only staying for a visit. His attitude shrugged everything off then all of sudden his phone began to ring. Rushing out his door to answer the phone something fell out of his pocket. Looks like some type of box cutter blade or on-the-go knife. I asked Wazula does he always rush to answer the phone? Wazula said no then offered if I was hungry. My appetite was beginning to curve out a little because I was ready to go. Then you hear a loud hit BANG on the wall outside where Cavi’er were. He goes “and make sure that bitch doesn’t know a thing!!!!!”. Immediately Wazula runs out the door and slams it behind her but also is trying to whisper to him. She goes “ listen we can go get the money back she just has to make sure she isn’t so loud and crying out loud “. I froze, took deep breaths and prayed. I know I didn’t hear what I was hearing?! Did they rob someone? Did they do a hire for murder? Why are they so sketchy?

I had the brave urge to get up and just walk out, but due to me being a possible witness to an unknown act of my eyes it could get dangerous or weird. I said softly hey Wazula, I should probably be heading home. It's getting late. She came back in and said oh yeah totally I can drop you off. I told her I didn’t want to bother her by any means causing extra trouble. She goes what you mean by extra trouble? “No no not by law trouble but you know being a burden on you”. I said with no confidence with a slight stutter. We went in the car, and even Cavi’er came along with us. I was about 10 minutes away from my house by drive but probably 30 minutes by the walk. I didn’t want the car ride to be full of awkward silence the whole way so I asked them if they had any plans for the rest of the evening. Both said no at the same time. I start to notice a cop car driving behind us in traffic and Wazula keeps staring into her side view mirror. Cavi’er told her she needed to go faster if she wanted to try to lose them. Soon as she accelerated, the light was flashing. She got over and the cops got out. Cops said to her are you aware that this car is stolen. Immediately she said “ umm ehh ehh ummm what? Cavi’er told her to step on it and that’s what she did. Pulling off so fast doing a get away from the cops was not on my walking agenda. While she is driving like a bat out of hell. 4 more cop cars get behind her. I’m screaming “let me outtttttttt pleaseeeee” she crashes into a tree..

The next day I woke up in a blur in a hospital bed asking my mother what happened. My mother goes I don’t know. You tell me what happened during the walk. If you are warned to not speak to strangers, always think about where things can lead and how they end. Always have OPEN ALERTS.
