Spotted by their "friends"

The two girls gathered their wits and looked around the dark alley. At least the street light was warm and inviting as compared to the dark unknown of the alley. They started heading back toward the street when an all too familiar SUV slowly stopped in front of the alley.

"Uh oh!" Kaylee gasped. "It's them! Run!" Both girls hurried deeper into down the darkened alley as fast as their high heels would allow as a spotlight beamed on their wiggling backsides. They ran past dark doorways to either side of them but they kept going as they heard the squeal of tires as the SUV was thrown into reverse, then into drive. Headlights now replaced the spotlight, and they were closing quickly.

****, Erika grabbed Kaylee's hand and led the beauty queen through a dark hole in the side of a building, not knowing or caring what they would find. They stumbled their way over a pile of rubble, then unceremoniously tumbled on the other side of it, with Erika falling on top of Kaylee. Both girls moaned and groaned as they struggled to get up, but then the spotlight flashed. "Stay down!" whispered Kaylee. The spotlight searched all around, illuminating the entire area around them, but somehow failing to find them.

The light went out, and they listened quietly as the SUV left the alley. They stayed still near the pile of rubble, huddled together, not daring to move or make a sound for what seemed like an eternity.

Finally Erika spoke. "Whew, that was lucky."

"Yeah, but our clothes are ruined!" whined Kaylee. "Ah'm never going to be able to meet Jason Barker looking like this." Then she looked over the rubble. "Those no-good dirty nigg-"

"You shouldn't speak like that!" lectured Erika sternly. "That's probably what got us chased in the first place! In South Africa it would get you **** and killed as punishment for sure!"

"Okay, I'm never going to use the N-word ever again!" Kaylee vowed, throwing up her arms in a huff. "If we can only get out of here and get some help!"
