I was on my way back from getting groceries, returning to my secluded house in the eveningat around 7:30 when i spotted something up the road in the distance. It was getting increasingly dim and this quiet country lane was sparsely used by anybody other than myself and the occasional cyclist and dog walker.
As i got closer with my car i noticed it was a young looking blonde woman. She was dressed ina pair of black yoga pants and a white sports bra. Her golden hair hung loosely. A pair of white trainer socks and running trainers completed her outfit, confirming my suspicion that she was probably a jogger. As i approached she turned around and gestured me to pull over. I didnt normally like talking to strangers but there was something about her that made me want to. I pulled into the layby she was in and wound my window down. My foot braced on the accelerator in case it was a trap.
"Can i help you?" I asked.
"Im sorry, im really lost ive had the day from hell. My phone has died, my gps has broken and i have absolutely no idea where i am, is there any chance i could get a lift?" She smiled.
"I...erm...im not really sure im hewding back out to town im afraid."
"Oh please sir, you are the first car i have seen on this road in ages, i have no idea where i am. I can make it worth your while." She winked with the last part, trying the flirtatious sales pitch.
Im not sure what took over my mind next. Normally i was quite a quiet, reserved person. I didnt really do strangers but there was something about this woman.
"Okay fine, i'll have to open your door with the key though, hang on." I said as i turned the car off. I proceeded to the other side of my car before i really lost control of myself and did something out of the ordinary.
'Click' the shotgun went as it was loaded and pointed at her back.
"What? Hey what are you doing?"
"Shutup, against the car now, hands above your head." I ordered as she immediately regretted her decision to ask for a lift.
"What do you want? Dont hurt me" she whispered quietly.
"Place your phone and tracker on the top of the car. Then place your hands behind your back" i ordered as she did exactly as i asked.
What was i playing at?
