Hun havde fået endnu et plus på sit cv. ||||||||resume Sie hatte ein weiteres Plus in ihrem Lebenslauf erhalten. She had received yet another plus on her resume. Bilen, der fulgte efter hende, kendte hun godt. ||followed||||| The car that followed her, she knew well. Det var Asger. It was Asger. Hun vinkede og løb op mod skoven.
