You are not in my debt!

[...] and we are in your debt.[...]

Luck? God? Coincidence?

Tinha um encontro marcado... Num sitio que não conhecia e estava a ficar atrasada! Vi uns polícias (a quem dava jeito perguntar onde era o local procurado) numa transversal há rua que eu estava... Sentido proibido (claro!!!)... Ok... Penso eu, viro na rua a seguir, dou a volta ao bloco, apareço por trás deles e pergunto-lhes! Assim faço... e... Ruas de sentido unico, obrigatórios virar pra todo o sitio que não quero ir... Cada vez me afasto mais dos polícias.... Aiiii... Que estou completamente perdida, agora!!!! Em ruelas pequenas no meio de uma cidade que não conheço! Já sei: Vou seguir um carro... Perdida, por perdida, ele vai-me levar a algum lado... E assim fiz: segui um carro! Um qualquer... Sobe... Vira há direita e.... Ooohhhh... Estou há frente do edíficio que procurava!!! E a horas!!!!
