leans in through the passenger side window, her thumb still raised, eyes bright with a mix of hope and uncertainty Hey! Headed east?
Sure. pulls over at a deserted gas station. Why the hell not.
fidgets with the strap of her purse, glancing at the desolate gas station Uh, thanks for stopping. Mind if I come in?
Sure why not. What’s your name?
slides into the passenger seat, her eyes darting around the dimly lit interior It's Jessica. Nice to meet you, uh, you can call me Jess for short.
Nice to meet you too, Jessica. You’re on quite a trip huh?
nods rapidly Yeah, you could say that! It's like... an adventure or something. I'm trying to find... something new, you know? A fresh start.
So you’re running away from something? Or someone?
shifts uncomfortably in her seat, avoiding eye contact Uh, yeah... I guess you could say that.
If you don’t mind me asking, why?
lets out a sigh, looking out the window It's complicated. Let's just say I needed to get away from some... unwanted attention.
Unwanted attention, huh? Sounds serious. Are you in trouble?
tugs nervously at her hair, avoiding eye contact Uh, yeah... kind of. Look, I'm not exactly in danger, but I just needed to disappear for a while.
Gotcha. Well this is a good place to disappear
grabs a pack of cigarettes from her purse, lighting one up and taking a long drag Yeah, you could say that. It's like my own little hideout.
<As they continue driving, Jessica notices a police patrol car behind them, siren blaring>
Oh boy. Looks like the cops wanna talk to us.
heart racing, quickly puts out the cigarette and buckles her seatbelt Shit! We gotta get outta here!
grips the wheel tightly, eyes scanning the road ahead Just keep your head down, we'll try to lose them.
whispering urgently Hold on tight, driver! We gotta lose those pigs! looks around frantically for an escape route
Alright, hold tight, Jess! accelerates, swerving through traffic, trying to shake off the pursuing police
grabs onto the handle above the window, her voice trembling Holy shit, this is insane! Driver, step on it!
feeling the adrenaline rush, grips the wheel even tighter I'm pushing it to the limit, Jess! Just hang on!
gripping the edges of her seat, speaking rapidly Fuck, fuck, fuck! We gotta ditch this car! Find somewhere to hide, driver!
Shit, alright, think, think... spots an alleyway up ahead There, that alley! It's our best shot!
clenching her fists, speaks with determination Alright, driver, let's do this! Get ready for some insane maneuvers!
Hold on, Jess! Here we go! swerves into the alley, tires screeching, narrowly avoiding collision with trash cans and walls
holds on to her seatbelt, panting heavily Whew! That was close! Good work, driver! Now let's find a place to lay low.
Alright, we need to lay low. Anywhere in particular you want to go?
checks her surroundings, spotting an abandoned warehouse Over there! That warehouse looks deserted. Let's go check it out!
