There they were, a line of trash bins along the sidewalk.

Sawyer pointed to one of them, a green one, and nodded at Mr. Francis.

Francis swallowed hard, getting the hint. He walked over to the green bin.

Francis felt a pang of concern. He needed to get her out of there, fast!

"Ah!"

Just hearing his voice made Rebecca White scream in panic. "Stay back! Don't come any closer!"
