Big Driver Page #4

Synopsis: Driving home along a generally unused country road following a speaking engagement, famed mystery novelist Tess Thorne experiences a flat tire on her car. She accepts the help of who she believes is a good Samaritan who stops to help her, but who instead rapes her, leaving her submerged in shallow water in a drainage pipe as dead. She found out that he actually orchestrated her getting the flat tire just moments before the rape. Alive, she, in shock, is able to make her way home, but she does not go to the hospital, dealing with her wounds herself, does not call the police, or tell any of her friends or acquaintances how she sustained her obvious injuries. Once the issue of what happened to her settles into herself, she decides to use her skills as an investigative writer to find out the reason behind what happened - if she was a random or targeted victim - and especially if the latter, how best to use that information to her advantage. Using her stories' grandmotherly heroine, Doreen

and I'm really hurt.

And he was playing air guitar

and singing while...

Um, and then he dragged me

into a-a pipe.

and it was... it was cold.

The water was cold.

And...

there were these dead women.

Thank you. Sir.

Thank you.

He used this board on the road

with nails in it.

I got a flat tire and, um...

I saw myself being raped.

[Bell dings 1

I could see myself.

And then, uh...

Two dead women

in the...

In the drain.

No, I think were three girls,

three girls.

Three women.

911. What's your emergen"

Royal limousine.

This is andrea.

Um, yes. Hello.

This is Tess Thorne.

Good evening, Ms. Thorne.

How are you'?

I need a ride, please.

Are you sure you don't want me

to take you to the hospital?

Just let me know

if you need anything.

What?

What?

I can stop, pick up

whatever you need.

Okay.

There's bottled water in the armrest.

No, please.

This, too, will pass, dear.

I'm here for you.

I'm always here.

I need you to wait...

Wait until I get in.

Of course, ms. Thorne.

I don't sell guns.

I sell peace of mind.

You have two new messages.

Hey, it's me.

Didn't see any lights on tonight,

so I guess you decided

to stay over.

You fall in monkey lust with

some fan, run off to belize?

Oh, by the way,

I took every one of your dvds.

I felt a binge coming on.

I'm sorry. I'm just...

I'm bored.

And nothing interesting

ever happens to me...

Unlike someone I know.

Next message.

There was a man.

I don't know.

Big truck.

And he hit me, and he raped me.

A pickup truck.

Did I say that already?

I, uh... I don't know.

I don't remember exactly.

Um, he was tall and huge.

Um, and I want to leave this

so I don't forget anything,

'cause I can't really think.

The message I left for

myself didn't make much sense.

But I am starting to remember,

and I will write it all down...

What I can remember, anyway.

Light concussion maybe.

Probably not a skull fracture.

Ohh.

Next, please.

You know the one

who writes those stories

about the old

lady detectives'?

Her boyfriend

must beat her.

Or worse.

Maybe it was her fault.

She looks like

a handful.

Once people know about it,

I'll be dead in the water.

Fritz, get away from that.

When I'm done,

what I do know is

no doctors

and no one will know.

I'll get an a.L.D.S. Test,

get checked for stds,

but that's it.

No one is going to know

about this.

Once it's out,

some will say I asked for it.

I have nothing

to be ashamed of.

But I know how it works.

What about those dead women

in the pipe'?

I don't know.

I'll think about them.

I'll let the cops know,

but not tonight.

All I know is, if I see him,

I'll kill him.

And you know what

I'd say first?
