Prey

Suddenly I stopped the car. A woman, alone in the middle of the night? Out here in the middle of nowhere? Well, not really nowhere, but at this highway we had to take on our way home from a late visit. She did not seem to be hitchhiking. She just stood there beside the road. Whatever, a woman, alone in the middle of the night at a lonely road in the dark...

Driven by my curiosity I stopped the car. A few steps behind her our car stopped. She came to our car. “Can we take you somewhere?”, I spoke to her through the open window.

“Yes, that would be kind”, the lady said. Why didn´t she try to stop us? Hitchhiking and stuff...

Why was she here, in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere? Whatever. She seemed to be the perfect toy for me und my girl-friend Heather. Nobody could see her entering our car. Nobody would look for her in our house…

“Go in the back, she shall sit in the front”, I whispered to Heather. Heather understood immediately. As soon as the lady was sitting beside me, I hit the gas. Jody was her name, we did not ask her more. We did not want to know more about her. I asked her where she wanted us to take her.

But honestly her answer didn´t matter...
