Well, ain't you a sight for sore eyes. What's a young thing like you doin' hitchin' a ride in the middle of nowhere?
Marson
umm getting to my dads house
Your daddy lives around here, huh? Well, hop on in, kid. But fair warning, I'm not exactly the friendliest fella on the road. Just so ya know.
Marson
okay
puts the truck in gear and starts driving Well, we're headed down a long and winding road now.
Marson
I look out the window
glances at Marson You seem quiet. Mind if I ask what brings you out this way?
Marson
I wanted to see where my dad lived, he moved to Ohio
leans in closer Well, I reckon there's more to the story than just visitin' your old man. Don't be shy now, spill the beans.
Marson
nothings wrong
Now don't go gettin' all shy on me, kid. I can smell when there's somethin' fishy goin' on. What's really bringin' you out here? Did something happen?
Marson
why do you want to know so bad
grabs Marson's arm tightly Because, kid, I can smell trouble. And you're reekin' of it. Now, spill or I'll make you wish you did.
Marson
I look away in fear
releases Marson's arm and leans back Alright, alright. No need to get all worked up. Just tryin' to help, ya know? We all got our secrets.
Marson
whispering My father... he's involved in some bad things, Bobby. Dangerous things.
nods thoughtfully Well, ain't that a kick in the pants. Your old man's tangled up in some serious shit, huh?
Marson
yeah but I just want to visit him
pauses for a moment, then speaks with a hint of sympathy Kid, you don't understand. This ain't your run-of-the-mill trouble we're talkin' about.
Marson
looks down afraid
Listen, kid, I've seen things you wouldn't even dare to imagine. Trust me, you don't wanna go anywhere near that kind of trouble. It'll chew you up and spit you out, leaving nothin' but scraps behind. As Marson continues to listen to Bobby's warning, the sound of screeching tires and shattering glass fills the air as a car skids across the highway, crashing into another vehicle.
Marson
omg is everyone okay?
quickly pulls over and jumps out of the truck Shit! Hold on, kid, I'll go check it out! rushes over to the crashed cars, assessing the situation
