"Twist and shout, twist and shout. Come on, come on, come on, come on baby now. Come on baby..." they sang along to the radio.
"Who is this, I keep forgetting?" Tara asked.
"I think it's the Beatles," David said.
The SUV zoomed by an old decaying cow carcass. Someone stood on the side of the road and waved his arms, someone else was sitting next to him.
"Should we pick them up?" David asked.
"Why not," Cory replied.
David slowed the car to a halt and they opened the door for the hitch hikers. A thin, odd looking man with a young girl climbed in. The man was pale and wore a dirty hat, the girl had miny shorts and a button up shirt. Her hair was beyond messy and tied into a loose pony tail in the back.
"Where you headin' off to?" David asked.
"We're goin' home, it's just up ahead. There's no road, but it's close. You can't miss it," the man fidgeted.
Tara felt uncomfortable and switched places with Cory.
"Go right, yeah right here," the girl spoke up.
The car swerved into a dirt path, barely visible from the road. He drove by some trees and an old rickety barn. The man stared at Cory and smiled, exposing his yellowed teeth, he chuckled.
"Oh, you can stop here," he said.
The hitchers hopped out of the car and skipped through the tall grass to a house in the distance.
"They were real creepy," Tara said once they left.
"They were a bit strange. Cory, did you see that girl? She looked like one of those horror movie killers," he laughed.
"Hey, where are we now?"
"Lemme get the map," Cory said unfolding a paper map. "We're just a few minutes from the main road and about seven hours till Dallas."
They started on their way back to the main road when they heard three loud noises. Their tires were flat.
"Shit," Daniel cursed under his breath as he walked around the car. "I can't believe that three of the tires are flat."
"Do we have any spares?" Cory asked as he got out of the car to look.
"No. We don't even have one."
"Hey guys, maybe we can ask the people in that house over their. The hitch hikers, maybe they can help?" Tara said.
"Okay, I'll go ask, you guys stay here," then Daniel walked toward the house where the hitchers went.
