Mina had been walking beside a group of high school students using their height to mask her presence. She had run away from Dom, who just tried to shoot her, and she knew the man was probably still looking for her.
Mina had cash with her, so all she needed to do was get to a bus station, buy a ticket to the next stop, and keep buying tickets to random locations until her trail went in a circle and her pursuers would get suspicious.
Mina thought that none of the happily chatting boys would notice her, but she was wrong. One of the boys, who she had met before not only noticed her, but he pointed her out. It was her rude teenage neighbor.
"That's the girl I was telling you about," he said to his friend while pointing at Mina. She tried to pretend not to hear them and kept walking, but the boys increased their pace to keep up with her.
"Are you a gamer too?" One of the boys asked.
