Big Driver Page #2

Synopsis: Driving home along a generally unused country road following a speaking engagement, famed mystery novelist Tess Thorne experiences a flat tire on her car. She accepts the help of who she believes is a good Samaritan who stops to help her, but who instead rapes her, leaving her submerged in shallow water in a drainage pipe as dead. She found out that he actually orchestrated her getting the flat tire just moments before the rape. Alive, she, in shock, is able to make her way home, but she does not go to the hospital, dealing with her wounds herself, does not call the police, or tell any of her friends or acquaintances how she sustained her obvious injuries. Once the issue of what happened to her settles into herself, she decides to use her skills as an investigative writer to find out the reason behind what happened - if she was a random or targeted victim - and especially if the latter, how best to use that information to her advantage. Using her stories' grandmotherly heroine, Doreen

and the three bees later.

Stag road is approach/mg.

In one mile, turn right.

You got it, tom.

Where the hell am I'?

It's four miles

from the intersection

of stag road and U.S. 47

in Colewich.

Geez.

what...

Recalculating.

Make a legal u-turn.

Thanks, tom.

I don't like it out here.

Oh!

Oh.

Ohh. God.

Hey!

Hey!

Ugh.

"Zombie bakers."

That's a stupid name, anyway!

Figures.

Hey! Hey!

Amazing. Hello.

Hey, there.

Thank you so much for stopping.

I appreciate it.

You pick that happy crappy

up off the road?

Yeah, all but the piece

that got my front-right tire.

Some luck.

I tried to call

aaa, but... I know.

No cellphone service

out here.

Welcome to nowhere.

Tell you what,

if you got a spare tire,

I'll change it for you.

Thank you so much!

I really appreciate it.

You are a godsend.

Wow.

Yep. I know.

Didn't think you were gonna be

meeting the jolly green giant

out here in willywags,

did you'?

No, I was

actually thinking

that you don't ride

in that truck of yours...

You wear it.

I've never heard it

put that way before.

But when I win

the lottery,

I'm gonna buy myself

a big old v-b 350.

Or you can buy two

and weld them together.

I like the way you think.

Anyway, thanks

for doing this.

I'm happy to give you some money,

whatever you need.

Oh, what?

Are you kidding me'?

Charging a damsel

in distress?

That's un-american.

That's very

gentlemanly.

Yeah.

Well, you saved me

a mess of trouble myself

when you picked that crap

up off the road. Yeah.

Us good samaritans

got to stick together.

Yeah, you want to hear

about a good samaritan'?

Some truck with a skeleton

on the side

just drove past here

and kept going.

So someone just drove by and didn't

even offer to help you out'?

No, I don't...

I don't think he saw me.

Just went on his way.

Some people.

Yep. Pretty much.

Spare tire under the cargo

compartment I assume?

Yes, you just do the pick up the thingy.

Yep, yep.

Pull the lever.

Been there, done that.

Yep.

Let's see.

You some kind

of book writer?

I am... mystery novels. Ah.

I love a good mystery.

Should get one of those

made into a movie. I hope.

I have no idea

what to do with that.

Well, lucky for you,

I know exactly what to do.

How's the tire?

Round.

With lots of little...

Tiny words

on the side of it.

Is it almost done'?

Well, tell you what...

How about instead of

changing your tire...

What if I screw you'?

You b*tch.

Please, please, please don't kill me.

You whiny whore b*tch.

Please don't kill me.

Gosh sakes.

No!

No, please! Please!

Shh!

Ohh!

Aah!

You bit me.

You b*tch!

Get your motor runnin'

head out on the highway!

Lookin' for adventure

and whatever

comes our way

Please. No more.

No more.

Lots more.

No more.

Come on.

Daddy's coming now.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Aah!

Please.

Hey.

Aah!

Okay. All right.

Oh, the...

Okay.

There was a... there was...

There was a truck.

There was a...

Was, uh, someone...

It was a truck.

Oh, my... oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

My earring...

And he took my earrings.

He took...

Aah!

Are you gonna

write about this?

Make money from it'?

You must like it that everybody

knows about everything. Slut.

Did you encourage him? You

are such a publicity whore.

Did you give him

your autograph?

Or selfie photos

for your books?

You said he took

your panties.

What about those dead women

in the drainage pipe?

Aren't you going

to call the police?

Ohh!

Hi. It's tess.

Leave a message.

There was a man. I don't know.

Big truck. And he hit me,

and he raped me.

A pickup truck.

Did I say that already?

I, uh... I don't know.

I don't remember exactly.

Um, he was tall and huge.

Um, my watch is broken.

Um, and I don't know

what time it is,

so I had to walk here,

and I'm really hurt.

And he was playing air guitar

and singing while...

Um, and then he dragged me

into a-a pipe.

and it was... it was cold.

The water was cold.

And...

there were these dead women.

Thank you. Sir.

Thank you.

He used this board on the road

with nails in it.

I got a flat tire and, um...

I saw myself being raped.

[Bell dings 1

I could see myself.

And then, uh...

Two dead women

in the...

In the drain.

No, I think were three girls,

three girls.

Three women.

911. What's your emergen"

Royal limousine.

This is andrea.

Um, yes. Hello.

This is Tess Thorne.

Good evening, Ms. Thorne.

How are you'?

I need a ride, please.

Are you sure you don't want me

to take you to the hospital?

Just let me know

if you need anything.

What?

What?

I can stop, pick up

whatever you need.

Okay.

There's bottled water in the armrest.

No, please.

This, too, will pass, dear.

I'm here for you.

I'm always here.

I need you to wait...

Wait until I get in.

Of course, ms. Thorne.

I don't sell guns.

I sell peace of mind.

You have two new messages.

Hey, it's me.

Didn't see any lights on tonight,

so I guess you decided

to stay over.

You fall in monkey lust with

some fan, run off to belize?

Oh, by the way,

I took every one of your dvds.

I felt a binge coming on.

I'm sorry. I'm just...

I'm bored.

And nothing interesting

ever happens to me...

Unlike someone I know.

Next message.

There was a man.

I don't know.

Big truck.

And he hit me, and he raped me.

A pickup truck.

Did I say that already?

I, uh... I don't know.

I don't remember exactly.

Um, he was tall and huge.

Um, and I want to leave this

so I don't forget anything,

'cause I can't really think.

The message I left for

myself didn't make much sense.

But I am starting to remember,

and I will write it all down...

What I can remember, anyway.

Light concussion maybe.

Probably not a skull fracture.

Ohh.

Next, please.

You know the one

who writes those stories

about the old

lady detectives'?

Her boyfriend

must beat her.

Or worse.

Maybe it was her fault.

She looks like

a handful.

Once people know about it,

I'll be dead in the water.

Fritz, get away from that.

When I'm done,

what I do know is

no doctors

and no one will know.

I'll get an a.L.D.S. Test,

get checked for stds,

but that's it.

No one is going to know

about this.

Once it's out,

some will say I asked for it.

I have nothing

to be ashamed of.

But I know how it works.

What about those dead women

in the pipe'?

I don't know.

I'll think about them.

I'll let the cops know,

but not tonight.

All I know is, if I see him,

I'll kill him.

And you know what

I'd say first?

"Come and get lt."

He has my purse.

He knows where I live.

I should call the cops.

Make an anonymous call,

give them the location,

describe him.

A man that big

with that truck...

They're gonna find him.

But you're right, fritz.

What's in it for me'?

Oh, my god. Look at you.

Oh, believe me,

it's not as bad as it looks.

Oh, my. I'm totally fine.

I... no, no, no.

I tripped down these stairs

after my speech

and just about

killed myself,

but I'm... I'm good.

You're always tripping.
