The blazing sun scorched overhead, making the two people in the back of the pickup truck feel cold and uneasy. After an indeterminate length of time, the truck left the highway. Rosie Scott and Blake Shaw instinctively gave a signal for help.
Rosie, upon reflection, thought something was off.
It shouldn't have been a plea for help but a means to leave clues for capturing the murderer.
They initially believed that jumping from the vehicle while in the highway queue would be safest, and they'd use the guardrails to stop the pickup.
Unexpectedly, the truck never stopped; it didn't hesitate at all as it passed through the ETC. Moreover, with few vehicles exiting the highway at that time, the pickup moved exceptionally smoothly.
Blake and Rosie were dumbfounded.
After leaving the highway, the vehicle slowed considerably. Just as they speculated whether it was heading to the murderer's hideout, the truck suddenly stopped on a dirt road.
