She glanced toward the door.
"There," the clerk said.
Trembling, she stuffed bills into her handbag. She raced for the entrance.
She burst from the revolving doors. She cried out to the taxi idling across the street. The driver started the motor. She ran across the street to the car.
"Take me to a car lot that's open!"

She fumbled out a bill and threw it at him. She settled back in the seat. "Hurry!"
He looked at the bill. "Yes, indeed." He started the car. "I sure will."
