-Save it, baby.

Thank you, sir, come back soon.

We will be waiting outside

until you finish.

Linda Doll, huh?

drove all night while

Hazkel slept like a log. / I

After a while

I began to feel sleepy. / i

Although I was happy. / i

Would Sue again. / i

The long journey was

about to end. / i

and there would be more obstacles

to arrive. / i

I started thinking the future. / i

could not be brighter ... / i

... although it had been

embroidered with neon lights. / i

was nice to think of Sue,

walking to the top. / i

is amazing how triggers

imagination a full stomach. / i

Lord Hazkel.

Lord Hazkel.

Hazkel Lord,

wake up, it's raining.

Do not you think we should

raise the hood?

Hazkel Lord,

I will raise the roof.

So far had

things my way ... / i

... but from now on

I expected something else ... / i

... and destiny would be different

I had chosen to ... / i

... because when

I opened the door ... / i

Hazkel Lord,

What happens?

Are you hurt?

Are you hurt, Mr. Hazkel?

Begin with your sermon,

I listen, but ... / i

... I know I culparis

before opening the mouth. / i

will say that you do not believe my story

Hazkel about died. / i

the expression of your face

say "do not make me laugh." / i

I saw him when he was already dead ... / i

knew ... and blame me. / i

Who would believe that

fell off the car? / i

For if he were

here would say that I hit him ... / i

in the head to

steal the money. / i

blame me, like it or not. / i

instinctively fled, but

I realized that would not work. / i

Many people might

identify. / i

The man at the gas station

and the waitress. / i

It would be hard pressed to

explain the blow on his head. / i

The other possibility

was to stay ... / i

... and tell the truth

when police arrived. / i

But that would be insane. / i

laugh at my truth

and have the rope around his neck. / i

What else could I do to hide

the body and get rid of the car? / i

could not stop the car

with him in it. / i

would be like placing a headstone. / i

My idea was to cover his with

shrubs, not steal. / i

But then I remembered that if

driving, even if only 200 km .. / i

need money ...

at least for gasoline. / i

addition, it would be stupid to let

all that money to a dead man. / i

Not only that. / i

It should also take

your driving license ... / i

... in case anyone

I stopped on the road. / i

I did not like thinking about it

But police say ... / i

... that he had,

but did not. / i

clothes. The owner of a car

so expensive would never wear these clothes. / i

Some poly might suspect. / i

Hey, this car is yours?

Do not have otherwise

to park ...

... To leave the wheels

in the middle of the road?
