As they stepped out of the taxi, Anna heard a faint noise. It was the sound of sirens, getting closer...
...getting closer. Anna's heart sank as she saw the police cars racing towards the market square.
The driver's eyes met Anna's, and he nodded towards the crowd. "We need to blend in," he said.
Anna and Sarah quickly merged with the shoppers, trying to look non-descript. The police cars surrounded the market square, and officers poured out, scanning the crowd.
Anna's heart was racing as she watched the officers move through the crowd, their eyes scanning the faces. She knew they were looking for her and Sarah.
One of the officers caught Anna's eye, his gaze lingering on her face. Anna's heart skipped a beat as she realized he might recognize her.
But just as the officer was about to approach her, his phone rang. He answered it, his expression changing from focused to shocked.
