Katie Goris was very tire but she knew she had to be alert as she sat in front of the truck taking her to city Z, the driver was singing the song that was been played on the radio. She was sure by now the Men who kidnapped her would have realized she had escaped, and are on a look out for her.
Katie Goris decision to escape to the opposite direction from the city where she was kidnapped was to confuse and derail the kidnappers who ever they were. She was very grateful to have found a free ride, she had rejected 3 offers already because she didn't like the way the drivers were looking at her when they stopped to pick her.
Katie Goris didn't want to complicate her situation by jumping from the frying pan into the fire, those drivers were looking at her as if she was ice cream on a very hot day.
