[She looks uneasy, and even he’s starting to feel it. The type of tense in the air you get a feel for when you’ve been around it enough. The dangerous kind.  The water has drained away, but the sky hasn’t cleared or it. If anything, it’s starting to darken on the edges. And darken. And darken.
Not a moment too soon, he notices her backing away. Okay, yeah, they’ve pressed their luck enough. Good call. He follows her lead, then keeps going, waving her forward to where he’s stashed his bike. High and dry, just a little out of the way so as to be out of sight and out of the flooding.]
