Delia went straight to her motel room, dumping Roman's car in the vacant lot behind.
She burst through the door, manically grabbing her things then ran to her car. She revved the engine
and was gone. The highway was calling. Ten grand would get her as far away as she wanted to go. West
seemed most promising. Anywhere was better than here. Her first priority was to get out of D.C. before
the city-wide lockdown went into effect. After that, Maryland in the rearview. She'd drive all night if that's
what it took. She was never one to run from a fight but cutting her losses and keeping her life seemed
to be the smart move here. "There's no winning this..." she remembered. Maybe he was right.
It was time to rethink a lot of things.
