"Will they? ...nah, it's not a big deal. Hell, shit, if anything they should thank me when I walk in the door with 'er, heh heh." James glanced at the woman jogging toward him in the rear-view mirror. "Wrong way to be runnin', little girl," he said under his breath. He said with a grin. Usually it was the hitchiker to be nervous about, but this time it was the opposite. It had been raining hard for hours, a damn near torrential downpour since midday, and before that it'd been wet and cold for the past few days. He'd seen two trees downed already since he left the bar in the quiet backroads town, a trip of business masked as pleasure.

The plan had been executed to perfection. Months of preparations, and a few slug-filled bodies later, and the armored truck had been fully cleaned out en route to its destination. Seven million wasn't some huge heist as far as Hollywood went, but for him and two buddies, for a place like this, it meant their lives of luxury were just waiting to happen. As part of the preparations for knocking over the truck Riggs, one of the three, had arranged for a cabin they could cool off in out in the woods. It'd take time to launder all that money before they could use it, and it'd be best for awhile to stay out of sight for a bit. James had taken the pickup out to the local town, out to a bar, because if there was one thing you could count on it was the loose tongues of tipsy cops, and McGinley's was a cop hangout if there ever were one. Only a fool would be seen after such a robbery, and to go right into the lion's den like that you'd have to be mad. And therein laid the genius of it - he was just there as a guy after work, having a few beers, making a few friends. What's that, officer? Oh, yeah, I heard about that truck thing earlier today. Can you believe that shit? So do you guys have - here, next round's on me my man, sounds like your day's been rough enough - so do you guys have any leads? Not a one, huh? Well, damn. Keep at it though. Shit like that, they're bound to turn up soonr or later.

It really was that easy.

And so there he was, driving home sometime after one in the morning, his breath smelling of alcohol but overall his motor skills were still very much under control. James left the town and had been on the highway seven or eight minutes now, a long two-lane stretch through the woods that was lined with a thick showing of trees on either side. There were no lights out here and even fewer cars. The only sign of life for awhile now had been the roar of his own engine and the shine of the truck's headlights on the night road. James had very nearly not noticed the woman he zipped right past, rain beating down on her, down on his windshield, damn near down on everything. He continued past her for a few seconds before slowing down. A few seconds more and he finally stopped, though didn't back up. She could walk, run, or whatever his way if she wanted a ride. Car broke down? Little lady get lost? There's a lot of scary men 'round these parts... it's a good thing he found her before they did. It's a good thing, because who knows what kind of sickos are out there.
 
God, this rain was coming down in sheets! 20 seconds out of her car and she had been so drenched that Amy doubted she could ever recover. Her damn bones felt wet. There wasn’t anything she could do about it though. Her car’s breaks had gone out and seeing as she was in the middle of nowhere there was no way to fix it. Not to mention that with this storm her phone wasn’t working. So her butt had to start running to the nearest town. About two miles back a sign had said that Greensville was in 4 miles. She knew for a fact that Klamath was 23 miles behind her so Greensville was her only option. Shivering in her sun dress, Amy decided that next time she drove out to the boonies she was going to make sure her damn phone worked with these cell towers.

Thinking she was in luck, Amy saw a car drive past her. She had waved frantically but the driver must not have noticed because he kept driving. Grumbling under her breath Amy hoped that another car would come by soon. The pink of the flowers in her dress was starting to bleed into the white. Damn this rain! Not to mention her sandals weren’t exactly the best running footwear. And the grass she had to run in was starting to make her ankles itch. And Amy was pretty sure that a pebble was caught below her heel, sending a stabbing pain into her foot ever time her foot made contact with the dirt.

“Oh come on!” She yelled when her sandal strap broke. Sitting down in the wet grass she flung her shoe off and then chucked the other one before bursting into tears. Amy hated being wet, and Amy hated being alone and Amy hated being out here with no help! Her vacation was really starting to suck.
 
He had stopped. And he was flashing his lights. And she sat down in the rain. Apparently, this broad wasn't the brightest. ...But was she a looker? Maybe it was the alcohol in him - no, it quite definitely was the alcohol in him - that had inspired James to stop on a whim for this woman. Fuck her shitty situation. Fuck her bad day. He'd just come into quite a bit of money, and not by respectable means. Saving old women and helping puppies cross the street weren't exactly high on his list of things to give a goddamn about.

At the same time, stealing and... what he was thinking were two very different things. One didn't have to be a gateway to the other. ...So maybe he'd just help her for a bit, then. He was gonna have a lonely couple of months soon enough. Yeah Riggs and Scott were gonna be back at the cabin with him until things blew over, but they were dudes. That was a whole goddamn other type of lonely that just wasn't how it was gonna be. This was different. Putting the pick up into reverse, James drove slowly backward for a few seconds until he pulled right up along side her, lights flashing to get Amy's attention.

He glanced over to the passenger door as he stopped, letting a sigh fill his lungs and then exhale. "Nothin' means nothin'," he told himself. "Just gonna see what she needs, and we take it from there." A pause. He looked at the door for a moment more before leaning over, pulling the handle to open it himself. The heavy blue door swung open, a charming mixture of metal and rust. And with it the cab was exposed to the cold chill of the night and rain.

"Hey," he called out, looking to the girl plopped down in the grass a few feet away. "Are you insane? Come on, get in. I'll take you somewhere."

He followed that up with a smile. A smile, because she was going to take those words so innocently, wasn't she?
 
Amy looked up at the man in the crappy car and didn’t count her blessings twice. “Oh my goodness thank you so much. The rain is ridiculous and, I broke one of my shoes. And I’m so cold and uncomfortable. A lift to Greenville would be amazing. It’s only four miles up the road. Thank you!” In her happiness to be out of the rain she didn’t think over what his motives might be. Standing up she shimmied into his car, completely ignoring what a piece of garbage it was.

“I so appreciate you being out here.” She said again with a super bright smile. Wringing her hair out she let the liquid drip onto his floor. “I hate being wet.” Smiling again she couldn’t help herself she just leaned over and kissed his slightly stubbly cheek. Completely ok with her own actions, not even embarrassed for a moment.

“Thank you! You’re an angel.” She repeated, Amy had always been taught to be polite, and her naiveté didn’t allow her to be nervous with him. After all, what could happen to her in the measly 4 miles between here and Greenville?
