Explanation:
Huge storm clouds start to appear in the sky as we set out. We wanted to run away as fast as possible. We entered a car together, keeping quiet the whole time. As we drew out of the city, we have noticed the thunder blasting over the sky behind us. I have jumped a little in my seat. It only occurred to me then to call my mother. I took a mobile phone – it had enough battery to last through the day. The call took me to voice mail. “Hi mum, just to tell you we’re safe and on our way, in case you hear something on the news,” I said into the mobile phone, trying to sound as calm as possible.

Answer:
How foolish i was to have believed that young woman...
It all sounded a bit odd from the beginning, and I ignored the other warning signals in my attempt to help a young woman in need.
Let me tell you how it all started: I was standing in a very short line at the mall, waiting to pay for the items I bought when I suddenly got accosted by a lady of not more than 23 years with red eyes and looking clearly in despair. She told me she had no money on her and her credit card was flagged but she really needed to get some cereal for her baby at home as he was hungry and sick.
The story sounded odd and I kept wondering why I was the one she approached out of half a dozen people. I decided to give her a hundred dollars and she thanked me profusely.
On my way to my car however, I saw her with a well-known drug dealer and it appears she's a junkie who scammed me for a quick fix
I was angry, disappointed all at the same time, but decided not to accost her and accuse her of being a disgusting thief, I walked trance-like to my car and all the while kept thinking, how foolish i was to have believed that young woman.
