Breakdown (closed for sonali00783 and ObsideanWarrior)

[ObsideanWarrior]

Peggy heard the whine from the left front of the car and knew the tire was going out. "Goddam," she said, not really caring if her daughter in the back heard. She knew she should have replaced the tire, but she had fallen further and further behind, and things had gotten to the point where it was go now or go never. So she went.

Fortunately there was a truck stop about a half-mile ahead. She limped along on the shoulder until the faded DEL'S TRUCK STOP and DINER sign beckoned. The angled the car over into a parking space, and stopped.

"Rachel, I'm going to go see if there's a mechanic here or someone who can change the tire. I don't have a spare. I'm hoping they sell tires here. Just stay in the car." The high-school senior nodded. "I'll be back."

Peggy hadn't anticipated having to get out before she had reached the beach. She was wearing a bikini, with shorts and a shirt that didn't completely hide her top. It would have to do. She wandered past the first building. Not having been to a truck stop before, she didn't realize most of the truckers were migrants. And the doorway she was going through led to the showers for the long-haul truckers, not the dining room or mechanic's desk...

 

[sonali00783]

Hi lady! I speak walking towards you this is for gents ladies are not allowed here
Do you have a trouble cause you dont seem like a truck driver!

you stare at me i dont look like those mean truck drivers but am a smart and handsome guy of around 35 years

 

[ObsideanWarrior]

Peggy stopped, looking at the man. "Sorry. I've never been here before. I--I got a flat and I don't have a spare. Does this place sell tires for passenger cars? My daughter and I were going to the coast for the afternoon and I'd really like to get this fixed and back on the road. Can you help me out?"

 

[sonali00783]

sorry mam this place doesent sell car tyres only has trucks and there is no shop in 50 miles radius where car tires are sold or repaired

 

[ObsideanWarrior]

"Damn." That was worse than what Peggy had expected to hear, by a longshot. "Is there anyplace around here that rents cars? Or a towtruck?" She had not realized this beach her friend had told her about was so far off the beaten path. She supposed that was part of its charm...as long as ones car didn't break down, of course...

 

[sonali00783]

i am afraid lady no and as you could have seen no mobiles work in this area i dont know why they say it is because of an airbase nearby they jam everything as they hear a noise of a fighter plane

 

[ObsideanWarrior]

Wheels in Peggy's head turned. "Do you supposed anyone could give my daughter and I a lift to the next town? I'm sure there's a working phone there. Or cell service." She looked over at the building with some apprehension.

 

[sonali00783]

yes there is a phone up in the next builduing you can try you want me to come with you mam?

 

[ObsideanWarrior]

"Okay. I'd appreciate it," Peggy said. "Show me where it is." She waved to her pretty daughter in the car, gesturing for her to wait until she returned. Then she followed the trucker toward the second building. She was progressively more unimpressed with this ramshackle place.

 

[sonali00783]

he took her in the next building and guided her to the phone and went away excusing himself to refresh.
He appeared moments later changed and looking fresh.
He left them their cause he knew perfectly well that phone was dead and she would need a lift from him.

 

[ObsideanWarrior]

Peggy picked up the phone, began to dial before even listening for a dial tone. After she keyed in a few numbers, she realized there was no sound from the earpiece...no touch-tone sound. She held it up to her ear, pressed down on the button.

Nothing.

"Goddam, can't anything work right today?" She looked to see if there was another phone, sidling past two migrant truckers who were followed by the odor of unwashed sweat--then almost ran into the same man, who had on a new change of clothes.

"It doesn't work," Peggy said, frustrated.

 

[sonali00783]

oh dear i say
well i have an urgent delivery to make if you see ok i can get help for you after that or you can come with me in my truck and i will drop you to your destination.
You hear hesitation and a feeling of real sorry for your situation.

OOC: How old is your daughter in the rp

 

[ObsideanWarrior]

OOC: 19...so she's fair game.

Peggy nodded. "We'll just come with you, okay? There's a phone there right?" This certainly wasn't how she had had in mind the day going.

 

[sonali00783]

i guide you and your daughter to my truck and ask you if you are comfortable and if you want any thing to eat and drink?

 

[ObsideanWarrior]

Peggy motioned to Rachel. The daughter was dressed smiliarly to Mom, only wearing jeans rather than cut-off shorts. She got out of the car, carrying her purse.

"There's no one here to fix the car," Peggy explained. "This man is going to give us a ride to the next town so I can call my sister Chelsea to drive out and get us." It would be an hour and a half's drive for Chelsea, but Peggy left that out.

"I'm fine," Peggy told the man as she and her daughter got into the truck. "Oh, my name is Peggy, and this is my daughter Rachel."

 

[sonali00783]

i smile and say hello well ladies i am sorry but this is where you will need to sit for a couple of hours.
i help you climb the truck in the back seat.
and come on and start the truck hitting the road soon i start moving on the road leading us inside the forest
sorry ladies need to unload the stuff and then i will drop ya it is a hot summer day and there is no airconditioner as it is an old truck. Soon you feel thirsty

 

[ObsideanWarrior]

The ride was hot and uncomfortable...after about five miles, Rachel took off her shirt, revealing her bikini top and nice B-cup chest under it. Peggy wanted to tell her to cover up, but the heat was too much. The truck had little in the way of shock absorption, either.

"Do you have anything to drink," Peggy asked. "Sorry to ask, but it's real hot in here."

 

[sonali00783]

i say yes water it is chilled i handing over you the bottle. I knew you would need it and i had laced it with drugs

 

[ObsideanWarrior]

Peggy drank. "Oh, thanks," she said. "Here Rachel, you want some?" The young girl nodded, taking a few sips. Then the mother drank some more.

Peggy leaned back in the makeshift seat...the heat seemed to be getting to her. She truly hoped they reached the next town too. Even Rachel seemed a bit droopy.

 

[sonali00783]

soon the truck was well inside forest and they could see a farmhouse which the ladies had least expected to see.
I speak to you pulling truck in the garage
Well ladies if you wish to freshen up you can use facilities there while i go and check if anybody is around to unload the stuff.
i jump out of the truck
had it not been for the drug you would have easily realised that nobody lives here by the dirty looks and deposition of dirt and mud all around.

 

[ObsideanWarrior]

Peggy got out of the truck. Slowly, because when she got up, she felt dizzy. Damned if it wasn't hot. Rachel did likewise. "Take it easy," she said to her daughter. "It was hotter in there than I thought." She began to look around. There was something about this place that didn't add up. But she seemed to have a hard time visiualizing it. Thoughts came with difficulty. She needed to sit down and rest.

 

[sonali00783]

well i saw that the drug has worked more than i desired i point you towards a small brick cottage and say it seems you are not well you can rest there while i get the stuff unloaded..

 

[ObsideanWarrior]

"Come on Rachel," Peggy said, "I think the man has a point." At the cottage there was a ramshackle swinging chair on the porch. The two women sat on it, and Peggy rested. She still felt groggy.

 

[sonali00783]

meanwhile i had locked the electronic gate and put all jammers for mobiles and things.
Now i proceeded towards ladies
so having a rest?
please come in i say courteously opening the door

 

[ObsideanWarrior]

Peggy was feeling a little better now. The rest had hekped her clear her head. So, she took her daughter's hand and led her through the door. "We really should get going now," Peggy said. "The beach...the phone." Rachel nodded.
