Teen Regrets Accepting Ride From Cop When He Sends Cruiser To His Job

Being Followed

The distance between him and the car allowed him to recognize that he was being followed while also preventing it from becoming an immediate threat. The car, at last, approached him while still moving.

He answers all of his inquiries while being paralyzed with terror. Then he tells him to get in the car. Duncan swallows, smiles forcibly, and follows instructions to the letter.

Walking Home

Michael Duncan was traveling on foot after leaving work. From Vallejo, where he resided, to Benecia required a perilous 7-mile trip via dark alleys that typically took him 2.15 hours to complete.

He had been doing that for a few days at this point, so it wasn’t the first time. It would, however, be different this time around.

He Needed Help

A walk to work wasn’t always necessary for Duncan. Prior to its breakdown and inability to be repaired, he had a car. He was now in the hands of the gloomy mornings and nights.

He depended on friends and relatives for rides to work for a while. But finally, that had to stop.

He Made A Choice

Duncan came to the conclusion after a few weeks that he needed to stop depending on people to get to work. He still lacked the cash to maintain his car, but he also didn’t want to put any additional financial strain on others.

He decided accordingly. For now, until he managed to earn enough cash for his car, he would walk every day to work.

He Didn’t Want To Be A Burden

Duncan understood that things at home were already difficult enough. Since his car’s breakdown, it had been two to three weeks. He was constantly plagued by guilt whenever he requested his mother or brother to drive him to work.

He didn’t want to cause them any more stress after everything they had been through the previous year.
