the chase

'Hey! Wait up!'
His breath got thinner as his lungs started to burn. His stomach churned, threatening to eject whatever that was still in it. His legs became heavy. He did not stop.
Its been 5 years and he had finally found her. He wasnt going to let her escape again.
'Stop right there!'
He shouted once again as she disappeared into the crowd.
'No!'
Desperation filled him. He started to lose sight of her as the crowd swallowed her in. All the questions raced through his mind as he searched for her shadows amidst the crowd.
What had happened to his brother? What about his nephew? The key to all his questions was right in front of him. He just had to find her.

With adrenaline was pumping and his heart racing, he made his way into the crowd, shoving aside whatever that was obstructing his way.He moved slowly in the direction she ran off to, his heart sinking deeper with each step.
Suddenly he caught a glimsp of pink amidst the crowd. That has got to be her characteristic bright pink hairdo. Hope rised through his mind. He summoned the last of his strength and swam through the crowd, towards the pink target.
