"Hey."

Bo quickly turns around to see a light blonde haired guy, Nick, walking toward him, hands still in his jacket pockets.

"I'm looking for my girlfriend and her brother." Nick says. "They were looking for a fan belt."

This angers Bo slightly. The beautiful girl he has downstairs has a boyfriend. She now belongs to him and Bo will not let her go. Mel looks up when she hears his voice and tries to scream but it's just a mumbled mess. The bar finally breaks, much to her relief.

"I don't think I've seen them." Bo shrugs, turning away, walking away.

"This is the only gas station in town, right?" Nick asks, watches him.

He just wants to find his girlfriend and go home. He can't propose to her tonight. This totally fucked his plans.

"That's right." Bo says, walking to the garage door to close it.

"Yeah, then they were definitely here." Nick says, walking toward the front door.

Mel uses her released arm to move the tape up the other bar and moves her legs toward her chest to stand on the bed.

"I just told you, I didn't see them." Bo smarts off slightly.

"Does someone else work here?" Nick asks. "I just want to get my girlfriend and leave."

"No, I own the station. And I would've seen them." Bo walks over to Nick.

Mel stands as straight as she can and watches Bo walk across the grate.

"Well, I was just here a few minutes ago, and you didn't see me." Nick stares Bo down. "You weren't even here."

"Sorry. Can't help you." Bo says.

Mel reaches up and wiggles her finger through the holes in the grate before trying to scream against the glue. Nick hears it and looks around slightly.

"What was that?" He stares at Bo.

Something is super fishy and he knows this asshole has something to do with his girlfriend not being here.

"Nothing. That was just my dog." Bo chuckles slightly.

He turns around slightly to see Mel's finger through the grate. He backs up slightly and looks at Nick.

"Actually, you know what? My brother Vincent was down here for a while. He could've helped your girlfriend out." Bo points toward his house. "They could be up at the house."

"No, my friend went that way earlier." Nick says, glancing around, watching his own back.

"Really?" Bo kneels down, pretending to tie his boot. "Well, maybe he ran into my brother up there, then. Wanna head up to the house?"

"Yeah, whatever. As long as I find my girlfriend, fast." Nick turns slightly.

Mel looks down at her other wrist and tries to move the tape more. Bo pulls out some wire cutters from his pocket and waits a second when her finger moves up more. He quickly catches her finger with the cutters and cuts the tip of her finger off. Mel starts screaming from the pain and brings her hand out to see her hand completely covered in blood.
