"Relax. Your brother will be meeting up with us somewhere else. We had to separate you two so we would be less suspicious. We are just about to cross into America from Mexico. The drugs were supposed to last longer though…You weren't supposed to wake up for at least another four hours or so."
His voice trails off, leaving only the sound of Michiko's sobs. She began to calm down and soon stopped crying, her face changing to an expression of stone.
"You have to stay in the back under this tarp and stay as still as possible, otherwise you'll be riding in the trunk. Got it? I'm not about to let this whole job go south because of one insolent little girl. Now lay back down and put this over you," he said, handing her a tarp.
Michiko obeyed silently, wanting just to see her brother again and get him back. The ride continued on for hours, the whole time Michiko worried about her brother. The engine finally cut off and the car came to a stop. Michiko, hearing other voices, held her breath and held as still as she possibly could. Patiently waiting to see what would happen next.
