Selfie.
"I wanna take a selfie, so we can remember our first road trip together!" The lady in the car said to the man.
"Okay, fine."
Snap.
"So? How does it look?" The man looked at his wife.
"Perfect! I'm gonna post it on my Instagram." She commented while looking down on her phone.
A couple minutes later.
The lady looks down on her phone to see she's getting a lot of comments. People must really like the photo she thinks. She decided to ignore the notifications and enjoy the view. That is until she gets a phone call.
"Hello?" The lady said.
"You need to get out of there now!" The voice on the phone replied.
"Beth, what do you mean?"
"Don't alarm anyone, but there is a hidden man in your photo." The voice named Beth replied.
"Oh silly Beth, that's just my husband!"
"No! You don't understand. There's another man in your photo hidden in the back." Beth responded.
The lady turns around to look in the back of her car. She sees no one.
"Look Beth, there is no one there. I just checked. You could be seeing things. Anyways, I have to go..."
"Listen do not hang-" The lady hung up on her friend.

The TV is shut off. He looks at the photo of the crime scene.
"If only she didn't run off with him. Oh well... all good things must come to an end."
