His suggestion was accepted and he ran after her, at first keeping his stride short and fast until he was at her heels and then lenghtening his stride to pull ahead. Burly and muscular he was, but he had some speed in him yet. He gave out a sharp yip of laughter as he turned his head to look at her over his shoulder before turning his eyes forward once more and running like hell.
