"Wait a second and give her a chance," I said. "What do you mean you found gold? Can you show it to me?"
She stared at me, then shook her head. "Wait a second." she reached into the pocket of her dirty hoodie and pulled something out. She held it up to me with a smile. I looked down and saw it.
“This one. This is it.”
It was a gold necklace with initials on it.

Chapter28
David Parker had been planning his escape for days. He had studied the prison layout, memorized guard schedules, and calculated every possible risk. And now, finally, the moment had arrived.
He made his way to the exercise yard, heart pounding. It was a clear day, the sun shining down on the concrete walls surrounding him. The other inmates were scattered throughout the yard, some playing basketball, others lifting weights. David tried to keep his movements casual, blending into the background.
As he approached the wall, he looked up and down, left and right, making sure no one was watching. Then, with a deep breath, he placed his hands and feet on either side and started to crab-walk up.
It was slow going at first, the narrow space between the walls barely allowing him enough room to move. But as he climbed higher, he started to gain speed. He could feel the air rushing past him, the exhilaration of freedom so close he could almost taste it.
David Parker's heart pounded as he crawled into the narrow space between the two walls. He could feel the rough edges scraping against his skin as he crab-walked up, inch by inch. His muscles ached with the effort, but he knew he couldn't afford to stop.
Finally, he reached the top and peered over the edge. The exercise yard was empty now as all the prisoners were getting back inside, and he could hear the guards laughing and joking in the distance. He knew it was only a matter of minutes, if not seconds, before they’d realize he wasn’t among them. He took a deep breath and pushed himself up, his hands gripping the edge as he pulled himself over.
He landed on the roof with a soft thud and paused for a moment, catching his breath. The wind was picking up, the air cool against his skin. He could see the fence in the distance, the razor wire glinting in the sunlight.
David dug the toes of his shoes into the rough, tar-covered roof and felt the thrill of freedom as his feet pounded against it. His heart raced with adrenaline as he ran faster and faster until he reached the metal fence. With a burst of strength, he leaped up and hoisted himself over it just as the guards’ angry shouts filled the air.
The fence was covered in razor wire, and David knew that if he touched it, he would be severely injured. But he had no choice. He pushed himself through the wire, feeling the sharp blades cutting into his skin, but the adrenaline kept him going.
Finally, he made it through and dropped down to the ground on the other side. He ran as fast as he could, knowing the guards were behind him, their angry shouts filling the air. He could hear the sound of barking dogs and the crackle of their radios. They were closing in on him fast.
David darted through the trees, dodging branches and jumping over fallen logs. He could feel the sweat pouring down his face and his heart pounding in his chest. He had to find a way to lose them, to disappear. David had always known that escaping from prison was risky, but he had no other choice. He had been framed for a crime he didn't commit, and he couldn't spend the rest of his life in a cell. He had to clear his name, which meant taking matters into his own hands.
He could hear the sirens in the distance, but he didn't care. All that mattered was getting as far away from the prison as possible. He needed an escape.
Finally, he saw it. A car parked on the side of the road, engine running. He ran toward it, his legs pumping with exertion. As he got closer, he realized the driver was a woman, her blonde hair pulled back into a tight ponytail.
Without hesitation, David jumped into the passenger seat and slammed the door shut.
"Drive!" he shouted, his voice hoarse with emotion.
The woman looked at him in surprise, but as their eyes met, she didn't hesitate. She put her foot on the gas, and the car shotforward, leaving a cloud of dust in its wake. David leaned back in his seat, his heart still racing with adrenaline and his body thrumming with anticipation.
"Who are you?" the woman asked, glancing over at him. "What the hell is going on?"
"I'm David," he replied, his voice still breathless. "And I just broke out of prison."
The woman's eyes widened in shock, but she didn't slow down. "Well, shit," she muttered. "I guess we're in this together now."
David couldn't help but grin. He had no idea who this woman was, but he knew she was his ticket to freedom. They drove in silence for a few minutes, the sound of the sirens fading into the distance.
"So, where are we going?" the woman asked, glancing over at him again.
David hesitated for a moment, wondering how much he should tell her. But he knew that he needed her help if he was to reach his destination.His face would be everywhere soon.
"Cocoa Beach," he said. "I need to get there as soon as possible. Don’t worry about the cost. I got some money stashed away. I will pay you for this."
