Simply Six Minutes

Sara was running for her life. She thought this might happen before she used the lock pick on the old oak door. She knew it was in there, proof and thought her father was killed for it. She no longer had the keys to his home since his death and the home was willed to her uncle.

The proof was a certificate of ownership along with the patent for a new formula to replace gas for vehicles. Sara knew where it was hidden but her uncle was always home, probably afraid of just what happened on this night.

The lock opened and Sara sneaked into the huge library, was just about ready to retrieve the papers when her uncle walked in the room. Sara tried to act calm but the uncle knew what she was after. He just didn’t know where it was until now. Sara grabbed the packet and ran out of the room, pushing her uncle aside. She didn’t stop running till she reached her friend’s home, unknown to her uncle.
