Cynthia's Home of Many Things
The Hitchhiker (chapter 14)
Radio Announcer: "There were a few drive by
witnesses.
The car was a dark color,
with the licence plate R5L H2B.
If anybody has seen this vehicle,
please report it to the police
as soon as possible."
Missy: "I wonder if they have
a picture of the victim
on television?"
Cynthia: "I hope so, the kids
are going to their grandmother's
today, so I think I'll wait
to find out."
Missy: "I feel the same way you do,
trying to keep it hush,hush,
so the kids don't get scared."
Radio Announcer: "We'll give you more
details throughout the day."
Cynthia: "I'll turn this off for now."
I walked over to the counter and
turned the radio off.
It was coming onto breakfast
time for the kids.
I happened to look out the
window.
The car door was
wide open.
I went outside.
There was no sight
of Tony anywhere.
Missy came out soon after.
She had a surprised
look on her face.
Cynthia: "He's gone!"
Missy: "I wonder where he
might have gone?"
Cynthia: "I don't know, maybe
he decided to go home."
Missy: "Does he live around here?"
Cynthia: "He says he does."
Missy: "Why would he take
off without saying good bye?"
Cynthia: "He probably has a wife
and kids he wanted
to get home to."
Missy: "You could be right."
