#Chapter18

/"This is it?/" I ask as Axel finally stops his car after 3 more hours of driving. We were far away from Spokane now, no doubt. I slept most of the ride, exhausted from the lack of sleep.

/"Yep./" he says, and climbs out of the car then waits for me to come out, too. It was the middle of the afternoon and we still had a few hours till nightfall.

/"Where are we?/" I climb out the car as well and walk towards Axel, taking his hand to feel safer in an unknown location.

/"Canada./" he replies and begins to walk us towards the poor looking motel in front of us.

/"Canada? Why? How- we didn't cross any b.../" his look stops me from finishing the sentence and I rip my hand from his at the realization. /"You snuck us across the border illegally?!/" I hiss and he shushes me and gives me a warning look.
