Big Driver Page #5

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

the other guy

gets there first, hmm'?

We're going to the address

that I programmed.

You mean the one

that wasn't this address?

That one, smart ass.

Oh, my god.

Sick bastard.

Eh, moved to la.

And never looked back.

You're dead.

No.

That would be your mommy

and your brother.

Aah!

Aah!

Don't.

Come and get it.

Aah!

Aah!

How about this?

Instead of

letting you go...

No. Don't kill me.

Why don't l just kill you'?

Please don't kill me.

Please don't.

If I may

weigh in, dear...

Waste the whiny b*tch.

The world

just got a little better.

If I were you...

And arguably I am...

I would head out

of here a.S.A.P.

You'll never get away

with it, you b*tch.

Oh, for heaven's sakes,

you grotesque freak.

It's over.

Of course she will.

I didn't kill an innocent man.

They were all guilty.

Part of me died

after what they did to me,

but what they left of me

is stronger.

are you ready to go home, tess?

You've had a long night.

Yes. Let's go home.

If I may interrupt, dear...

As you know,

I repeatedly tell the girls

that, when solving crimes,

we must never

forget the cardinal truth

about murderers...

They often

overlook the obvious.

What am I forgetting,

doreen'?

Don't get caught.

I guess I was

always violent deep down.

I denied it like most of us do,

but lt let me dream up

12 novels

where people were murdered

ln cold blood,

so that didn't

come from nowhere.

Tess.

Tess, are you all right?

Yeah.

I'm okay, tom.

I'm glad.

I'd be lost without you.

I won't make excuses

for what I've done,

nor can I say! Did it

while of unsound mind.

Wanted an eye for an eye.

I got my justice.

I wrote Helena Doveks' name

on the back of her photo.

Maybe that'll help her family.

With any luck, the police

will identify the others.

And if it all leads to me,

if they find evidence

somewhere along the way

in their investigations,

so be it.

But I won't volunteer it.

It cost me too much.

Can you please

read this for me'?

I want to hear

how it sounds.

Something

a little different.

Of course, dear.

Given that emotion

and not logic

"'is the key

to all human behavior

"and to crime itself, '

said doreen marquis

"as the other knitting society

members listened,

"'I propose we fully change

our investigative focus

"'from forensic

to psychological,

"from the crime

to the perpetrator."

I like this, dear.

It's the beginning

of the new one.

Will you read

a little bit more'?

Logic will only get us

so far in solving a crime, '

said doreen with

her meticulous syntax."

"'We must understand

the emotion motivating it

"ln order to comprehend why

people do the unthinkable.

"Because in the absence

of logic,

"we all make some of

the most profound choices

of our lives."'

what do you think?

Well, to be frank,

I think it's about time, dear.

We can't always

be polite and...

And logical, can we'?

Sometimes it's just about

friggin' payback.

Payback.

Hello.

Hello'?

I know what you did, tess.

Way to go, girl.

Betsy'?

And all the roses

seem to fade

And somehow

I have lost my way

sunlight always

turns to shade

and dreaming

pulls the heart away

time will pass,

and seasons change

we all start to act our age

as the distance

makes us strange

play your part

up on the stage

and I'm tired

of pretending

that I'm happy to be here

as our time together's ending

I just want to tell you

dear love

dear lo-o-o-ve

dear love

dear lo-o-o-ve

dear love

dear lo-o-o-ve

dear love

dear lo-o-o-ve
