A Perfect Getaway Page #4

Synopsis: For their honeymoon, newlyweds Cliff and Cydney head to the tropical islands of Hawaii. While journeying through the paradisaical countryside the couple encounters Kale and Cleo, two disgruntled hitchhikers and Nick and Gina, two wild but well-meaning spirits who help guide them through the lush jungles. The picturesque waterfalls and scenic mountainsides quickly give way to terror when Cliff and Cydney learn of a grisly murder that occurred nearby and realize that they're being followed by chance acquaintances that suspiciously fit the description of the killers.

Wow.

There's no service.

Flat line.

I'm in and out,

mostly out.

Wait.

This is in Honolulu?

Dad wants us to leave.

I think he's in major

overreaction mode, okay?

Some newlyweds were

killed somewhere, he said.

That's what happened.

Yeah.

That's awful.

I mean, we were just there,

like, the day before yesterday.

We have been planning this for,

like, five-and-a-half months!

Does he not even know

it's a different island?

What did your dad say?

I mean, do they know who did

it? Do they know anything?

He says that they're

looking for two people.

A man and a woman.

That's all I got.

It's like that movie, huh?

Natural Born Killers.

Oh, my God, that movie,

like, totally freaked me out.

When his head was doing

that thing... Majorly.

Well, what do you think?

I mean,

it was Oahu, not here.

Well, speak now or

forever hold your peace.

Well, hey, I mean,

it's our honeymoon, right?

Why don't you guys

come with us?

We're going all the way to Kalalau

Beach, all the way to the end.

Wait, you guys are,

like, newlyweds?

Yeah.

Have a swell honeymoon.

Wait!

Stop! Don't make me run.

You guys are such cowards.

Well, I exit here. Be safe.

Some hard yards ahead.

Are you... Are you

camping over at Secret Falls?

I read all about it

in the guidebook.

Yeah, just for the day.

I had to run back to the

truck for a little butane.

Well, how close is it?

Well, it's like

everything else in Hawaii.

It's as close

as far away gets.

Baby.

What?

It sounds so romantic.

Yeah, but I'd like to get

to the beach by sunset.

But it's only like, what, like, a

mile or something? It's, like, nothing.

Honey, come on. Maybe we

should give the man his privacy.

Don't matter to me.

Plenty of Eden to go around.

What?

Nothing.

One mile?

One. Serious?

Yeah.

Cool!

Hey, wait up!

Wow!

Well, I do believe

she's clotheless.

Hey, there.

I do believe he is, too.

This is Gina!

Did he mention

Gina before?

Crazy-ass love of

my crazy-ass life!

He has now.

Okay. So, they're,

like, a couple?

Y'all coming in or what?

Baby, are we

going in or not?

Yeah, in a minute. Let me see

if I can get some reception.

Okay.

That's nice.

I hope we're not intruding

on your private paradise here.

Forget it, Nicko's always

bringing home strays.

Mrs. Cydney Anderson.

We're newlyweds.

Miss Gina Struggs.

We're not.

You are so dead.

Okay.

Here we go. Come on.

"Thursday on Oahu. Possibly

mainlanders on their honeymoon.

"Teeth and

fingerprints removed.

"Have reason to believe killers

may have jumped islands to Kauai.' '

Are you shitting me?

No, these girls on

the trail told us.

I feel like

maybe we saw someone.

They know who it was
