On the outskirts of Clarksville, Tennessee, a woman steps out of her house, trying to find her dog in the dark.

"Rudy. Rudy!" The blond woman shouts, trying to find her dog, but there seems to be no sign, and she whistles, but still nothing. "Come on. It's too hot to make me come looking for you." She reaches down to get one of her dog's toys and turns around to face Klaus, spooking the girl.

"I am so sorry," Klaus apologises in the worst fake American accent ever, nearly making Lorilei laugh as she stands beside him in her black pantsuit. "We didn't mean to scare you."

"Can I help you?" Samara asks the couple.

"Yeah, our car ran out of gas a couple of miles back, and I feel like we've been walking forever. We tried looking for a gas station, but you're the first place we could find. Do you mind if we use your phone?" Lorilei lies and seems to relax the girl a little, though she has a bad feeling looking at the couple.

"Don't either of you have a cell phone?" She asks, looking a little sceptical.

"Heh. Yeah. Battery died," Klaus tells her, taking his phone from his back pocket.

"I accidentally smashed mine," Lorilei adds, getting out her old phone which she had actually broken. "Look, I promise we're not serial killers. We just want to use your phone."

"Sure," Samara agrees, turning back towards the house.

"So... We can come in?" Klaus questions, taking a step forward.

"No. I'll get the phone, and I'll bring it out to you," The blond girl replies, turning to face the couple.

"I thought you country folks were supposed to be more trusting," He remarks, stepping towards her.

"I'm from Florida," The blond teen snarks back.

"Well, that explains it," Lorilei muses as Klaus approaches and wraps his hand around Samara's neck.

"Now, show me a little Southern hospitality... Sweetpea," The Hybrid compels her.

"Sweetpea?" The Siphon questions, looking at him.
