the long haul trucker- part 5

Jerry had just escaped a certain execution

But now he was standing in front of a gun again

Mary unloaded the weapon and put the bullets in her pocket

Lets go sit in the truck and talk she said

Jerry cautiously followed her

She handed him the gun saying she had no intention of using it

Jerry was confused he demanded to know what was going on

Do you know that guy you just killed 

Mary took a deep breath

I never saw him before today

He pulled me out of the truck and said he was taking it

I told him I was not letting that happen

I blacked out when he hit me

When I woke up he was marching you off at gunpoint

So I grabbed the wrench and snuck up behind him

He was just about to shoot you when I struck him

Jerry asked her why she did not want the cops to come

Just think about it said Mary

Do you think they will believe our story

We could both end up in jail for the rest of our lives

Look around, its almost dark and this place is deserted

Nobody witnessed what just happened

If they had the cops would be here by now

Does that waitress in the diner know you

I have never been here before said Jerry

I paid in cash so there is no credit card record

She must have left straight after I gave her that tip

The place is in darkness now

No sign of any security cameras in this parking lot added Mary

We should just leave and get far away 

Jerry reluctantly agreed and went to fire up the engine

Wait said Mary we need to hide the body first
