“Dumb motherfucker,” I mumbled to myself as I raced from my soon-tobe ex-boyfriend’s truck. I may or may not have been talking about myself,
for getting into this mess to begin with. I scanned the industrial park where
we’d been idling—waiting for one of his smarmy criminal contacts—and
darted toward the wide-open garage door of what looked like a warehouse.
Mark’s engine roared and I knew he’d try to follow me in the truck.
Inside the building were rows of shipping containers. A glance over my
shoulder confirmed what I’d feared. Mark had followed me. I ran further
into the dusty space where the truck couldn’t follow. Shipping containers
towered above and around me. The further I ran, deeper and deeper into the
warehouse, the narrower my path became as I frantically tried to determine
my next step.
Should I just continue running into the labyrinthian space, assuming
eventually Mark wouldn’t follow? I didn’t think he’d ever give up; not
when he mistakenly thought I’d stolen $10,000 from him.
Should I take a chance and hide in a container? In the movies, the
heroine usually ended up in some weird-ass foreign country in those
instances. It would be just my luck to end up in the middle of nowhere in
some backwater place halfway across the world.
Should I—
My wild musings cut off. A container beckoned from the far wall. I
hustled past the forklift sitting beside it. The container door appeared
slightly ajar. Another glance over my shoulder showed nobody else in sight.
Why not? If Mark caught me, my 100-pound self wasn’t fighting off his
200 pounds. I’d take my chance with the unknown of the container.
I pulled the door open, wincing at its squeal. A quick spin confirmed the
squeal didn’t alert anybody (Mark!) to my plan. Stepping into the darkness
within, I fought off a frisson of anxiety. At least it didn’t smell. In fact, it
seemed quite clean, almost antiseptic. A brief question of what was being
stored in the container surfaced, and then I closed the door. At the sound of
the heavy clank, I collapsed on the metal floor to wait. It wasn’t long before
I heard a voice. His voice.
“Where are you, you thieving bitch?” Mark’s voice passed through the
metal walls of the container.
I held my breath, though my heartbeat thundered in my ears. Dying of a
heart attack would really suck, too.
“I know you’re here. You fucking cunt.”
Nice. What a shithead. That’s what I got for wasting six months of my
life with someone who fancied himself a low-level gangster.
“Come out, come out, wherever you are,” he said in a singsong voice.
Like hell I would. He’d get bored and leave. That I knew with certainty.
I only needed to wait him out.
“What are you doing here?”
I perked up at the sound of the new voice. Even straining, I couldn’t
decipher the response. Mark was probably answering the new person. Did I
risk coming out now? Would Mark try something with a stranger around?
A scraping sounded from under the container. My mind spun, trying to
identify it. The forklift maybe. Oh my god. They were moving my
container!
