Big Driver Page #5

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

"Come and get lt."

He has my purse.

He knows where I live.

I should call the cops.

Make an anonymous call,

give them the location,

describe him.

A man that big

with that truck...

They're gonna find him.

But you're right, fritz.

What's in it for me'?

Oh, my god. Look at you.

Oh, believe me,

it's not as bad as it looks.

Oh, my. I'm totally fine.

I... no, no, no.

I tripped down these stairs

after my speech

and just about

killed myself,

but I'm... I'm good.

You're always tripping.

Well, I'm a writer...

I get preoccupied,

I guess.

Did you see a doctor?

No, I didn't see a doctor.

I'm... I'm telling you,

I'm so fine.

Well...

what if you have

a concussion or something?

I don't have a concussion.

I would know

if I had a concussion.

Do you want coffee'?

Uh, uh, okay.

Okay.

There you go.

You sure your nose

isn't broken?

Does my nose

look like it's broken?

Uh...

You want coffee

with that sugar?

Oh.

I like sugar.

Makes my heart race.

I enjoy the drama.

You don't look good.

Well, if I had an ex

and he came

for a surprise visit,

I'd probably look

exactly like this.

Nobody would ever dare

lay a hand on you.

You're feisty, girl.

I'm pretty tough,

I guess.

You sound hoarse.

Oh, yeah, that.

I guess,

with all this happening,

now I'm getting a cold.

Hello.

I'm trying to reach

Tess Thorne.

This is she.

This is Betsy Neill,

manager of the stagger inn.

The what? The stagger

inn in Colewich.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I have to take this.

It's my publisher.

We haven't spoken, and...

And I'm so tired.

Oh, that's okay.

I need to rest.

Okay.

Okay.

Take care.

I will. I'll call you later.

Okay.

Yes. Hello'?

Do you own a prius,

license plate

connecticut, 775-nsd?

I do, yes.

Well, it's in our lot.

It's available for pickup

until 5:
00 tonight.

After that, it's gonna

be towed at your expense.

Hello'?

Hello'?

Are you the prius

or the honda?

Uh, the prius.

You match.

Hey, you're, uh,

the willow grove lady...

The knittin' chicks.

Guilty as charged.

My gram loves those books.

Lot of grams

love those books.

When the affection

finally filters down

to the next generation

with no blue hair,

I'm gonna buy myself

a chateau in france.

Hey, I hope that

didn't happen here.

A lot of people

leave their cars here

and accept rides

they shouldn't.

I don't mean to offend,

but you really

don't belong

in a place like this

to begin with.

You know,

it gets in the papers.

My gram

would be disappointed.

I understand.

Thank you

for the call, okay'?

A bad boyfriend is worse

than a serpent's tooth.

What? Where ls that from'?

The bible'? Dr. Phil'?

Anyway, we broke up.

Yeah, that's what
