The manager caught up: "Selena, where are you going?"
"I have some business to attend to, don't worry about me."
"Where are you going? It's so late, I'll go with you."
Maimai shook her head: "No need, it's inconvenient to bring you along, give me your car keys."
"But you alone..." The manager hadn't finished speaking when Maimai interrupted: "I'm going out to find a man, for a date. Do you want to come watch?"
The manager found this both amusing and exasperating: "You!"
Maimai had already taken her car keys and left the hotel.
Maimai's mind was quite chaotic, thinking about the places they had been, and drove the manager's car, speeding away.
That place wasn't easy to find. She remembered it was halfway up the mountain by the sea, quite remote. She hadn't been there in years, and late at night she circled the winding mountain road for a long time, almost getting lost.
...............
Bang!
Through the quiet night, a gunshot resonated directly in her soul.
