The Hitchhiker (chapter 13)

Cynthia: "Thanks Missy."1

Missy: "You're welcome."2

I didn't know if I should3

go out to the car to wake Tony up,4

or leave him there.5

It was still early 6

and the kids were still in bed.7

Missy and I grabbed our cups of coffee8

and went out to the kitchen.9

I turned the radio on10

and kept the volume down low.11

Missy: "So, what time did the hit and run occur?"12

Cynthia: "I was listening to the radio on the way home and the announcer said it was around 1:30 this morning."13

Missy: "People that get drunk, should use their damn brains and stay off the road."14

Cynthia: "Yeah, tell me about it."15

Radio Announcer: "And now the top headlines in today's news."16

Cynthia: "I want to hear this."17

Radio Announcer: "There was an unknown person killed by a drunk driver around 1:30 this morning, it was a hit and run accident."18

Missy: "I wonder if anybody witnessed it?"19

Cynthia: "I don't know."20

Missy had a worried look on her face.21

Whenever she gets nervous or frightened,22

she tends to bite her nails.23
