Under the harsh weather of the old small town stood a lady in a rockstar outfit, whose hair was cut low with heavy facial painting. After standing for a while along the dusty highway without any car in sight, she gave in to walking under the hot sun. As she kept moving on in her tight outfit, which revealed the shape of her sexy body, Irene came driving in farther behind with Ben keeping her company.

"Hey Irene, check out that fine ass walking ahead", Ben said, as he abruptly removed his sunglasses. "Who the hell is that?", he further exclaimed.

Slowing down to get a proper look, Irene assumed she was new in town, due to being never seen around. "I don't think I've seen someone that looks like her around here before", she added. With Ben requesting they offer her a lift, Irene looked at him sarcastically and approved as she drove steadily towards the stranger. Unperturbed by the arrival of a car behind her, the lady kept moving on with her shades on this time.

"Hey sexy, you know it's sunny and it'd ruin all you got on", Irene called out as she steadily balanced the movement of the car with the strangers.

"What do you care?", the lady replied without even stopping to have a look.

Pissed off by the reply she got, Irene exclaimed that they were just trying to help and didn't warrant that type of insult. "If you don't need the help, f*ck you!", she added while speeding off past the stranger, who looked and walked on. Not far off, the car suddenly stopped and gradually started reversing a bit backward. After parking, Ben hopped out of the car and walked towards the stranger while gesticulating with his hands in explanation.

"Hey sexy, I'm so sorry about her attitude, we are only trying to save you from being stressed", he said while still gesticulating. "We're not going that far, we just wanna try and push you forward a bit if you don't mind", he added.

Removing her shades to reveal her dark-painted eyes, the stranger suddenly beamed with weird smiles while telling him to lead the way. Excited, Ben ushered her towards the car and opened up the backseat door for the lady to hop into, he slammed the door shut and joined Irene in the front. After a bit of whispers from Irene and Ben with the lady watching on, the engine started again with the car speeding off along the dusty road. As the car moved on, Irene and Ben kept staring at the stranger at intervals, as silence best explained the state of existence within the car.

"Sorry about the other time", Irene said while smiling, "It often happens once in a while when I get pissed", she added.

The lady sharply accepted her apologies as Ben expressed delight that both of them had settled their differences.

"So, I'm Ben and this is Irene", he said while wearing a very big smile on his face.

"I'm Gladys", the lady replied as Irene looked a bit suspiciously and curiously at her.

"I feel like I know you from somewhere", said Irene.
"Where are you from and going to?", she added.

"Does it really matter?", Gladys replied, as Irene flashed Ben a very stern look.

Seeing the tension building within the atmosphere, Gladys decided to open up by telling them she had no destination, as she seemed to be completely lost. This prompted a surprise from Ben, as he asked her all she could remember.

"All I can recollect was me passing out at the party and finding myself here", Gladys replied.

"Oh! Sorry about that", Ben said as Irene flashed a smile while driving on. "Guess you're stuck with us for now then", he continued, as Gladys shrugged to confirm that.

Followed by a great deal of smiles and distraction, Ben and Irene shared high-five moments as the car sped on along the old dusty road. Unknowingly to both of them, Gladys had pulled out a sharp short knife from her boot, with her left hand already placed on her gun. Like a flash, she lashed at Ben and viciously stabbed him in the neck while being fast enough to pull out the gun on a very shocked Irene.

"Oh, you b*tch! What the hell?!", a scared Irene exclaimed as she attempted to park the car.

"Don't you dare", Gladys replied as she gestured with her gun for Irene to keep driving.

After the intense stare-down with Gladys' threat a potent one, Irene ignited the car speed again with no escape plan in mind due to her shock state.
