The car came to a stop and the window rolled down.

"Need a ride?" The guy asked. Sara was really nervous about this.

"Nick..." Sara grabbed his arm.

"Hold on one second buddy." Nick walked away with Sara.

"I really don't think we should. Haven't you seen the movies? The guy's a killer and usually the girl dies first then..." Sara kept on rambling on.

"Sar, you watch too many movies. And don't worry Sunshine, I'll protect you." He smirked at her and winked. Then he walked back to the car. "You heading towards Henderson?"

"Yeah. Hop in. I don't bite." The guy smirked at them. Nick got a weird feeling but pushed that aside. Nick sat in the passenger side and Sara sat in the back. She made sure she had her gun close and ready. "What are you two doing here so late at night?"

"Our car broke down a little back there." Nick answered.

"Oh." He just kept driving. They were in the car for about twenty minutes when they heard the door locks click. Nick and Sara looked at the doors and saw that the guy locked the doors. "You never know people these days."

"Right." Nick looked at Sara.

"By the way, my name is John Ryder." He told them.

"Nick Stokes. This is Sara Sidle." He answered for her because he noticed that she was uncomfortable.

"Is she mute or something?" He asked.

"What? No. Why?" Nick was beyond confused now.

"You answer everything for her." He looked back at Sara who was looking at Nick.

"I'm just used to it I guess." Nick lied. They noticed that John started to go faster. "Um dude, the speed limit is 55."

"Didn't anyone ever tell you not to get in a car with strangers?" John looked at Nick.

"What?" Nick was confused as to why the guy would say that.

"You never know what people are capable of these days Nick Stokes." John looked at Sara through the mirror. He didn't know that she had her hand on her gun. There was a gas station coming up.

"You can let us off here. We need to get some stuff anyways." Nick told him. But John kept on driving. Nick looked at the guy. Before Nick could even do anything, John had a knife to his throat. Nicks' breath hitched. Sara flinched.

"I'm sorry about this. I really am." John pushed the knife further. Nick hissed in pain as he drew a little blood. Sara quickly whipped out her gun and pointed it at John.

"Put the knife down!" She was shaking but tried to hold it steady.

"I can't do that." He stared at Sara. When he wasn't looking, Nick was trying to find the unlock button for the doors. "Shoot me."

"What?" Sara asked shocked.

"Do it. Shoot me." He looked at the road again.

"Put the knife down." She ordered. Finally Nick got the lock button and unlocked the doors. Him and Sara quickly jumped out of the car. They were both in pain because they landed on the pavement but they quickly got up and ran towards the gas station. They ran for about twenty minutes and then they got to the store.

"Damn. I should've know." Nick was talking to himself out loud.

"Yup." Sara told him.

"Don't say it." Nick sternly told her.

"Say what?" She asked.

"You know what I mean." He glanced at her.

"I have no idea what you're talking about Nicky." She smirked.

"I think I underestimated you Sidle." Nick told her.

"Yup." They were at the doors of the store. "Oh and Nick?" He looked at her. "Told ya so." She giggled and walked into the store ignoring Nicks' glare.
