I recently retired from the Police Department, I had put in my twenty years and I was done. I started when I was twenty-one years old and was still in good shape, so I figured I'd get a fresh start in a new chapter of my life. I decided to sell my house, most of the crap in it, pack up my crew cab pickup and hit the road to destinations unknown.
While on the road I was listening to the radio and thinking about the life I left behind. I missed my friends the most as I had no family in my old town. I was divorced, thankfully had no kids and the taxes where I lived were astronomical. I did some research on where to relocate to, but I was in no rush to get anywhere.
Being an outdoorsman and a novice survivalist, I made sure to pack a tent and other camping supplies. I figured I would travel and crash at some campsites and other remote areas. I didn't want to spend every night in a motel so I planned alternate sleeping arrangements.
I was on the road for about a week; the trip so far was pretty uneventful. I saw some beautiful countryside and some pretty shitty areas too. I was glad that I had my service weapon with me for the seedy areas.
While on a desolate highway in bumfuck Kansas, I saw what appeared to be a woman sitting on a log on the right side of the road. I thought to myself I hadn't seen any type of civilization for miles. As I drove past her, I saw that her arms were wrapped around her knees and her face was down. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw that she lifted her head and watched me drive away from her.
Then my cop instinct took over and I threw it in reverse and backed up to her. She was a young, disheveled, attractive woman with long messy brunette hair. She was wearing an open red and black checkered flannel shirt with a dirty white tee shirt underneath, cut-off blue jean shorts and brown leather work boots. I could tell she had been crying and had a fading bruise on her right cheek.
I rolled down my passenger side window and asked if she was alright. She just sat there looking at me saying nothing.
"Miss, are you okay? Do you need help?" I called out again.
She responded in a sarcastic tone, "Do I look okay?"
"Well no, you don't. That's why I asked," I curtly responded.
Then she slowly rose to her feet, stood about five foot five inches and approached the open window, "Are you another asshole who's going to try and rape me?" she asked snidely.
"No, I'm not, I'm just asking if you need help," I replied with compassion.
"I have a knife you know!" she snipped, then she brandished a tanto-bladed knife that she drew from her right hip.
"Sweetheart, you won't need that with me, I give you my word," I replied with sincerity.
She put the knife back in the sheath and barked, "Don't call me fucking sweetheart!"
Getting a little annoyed I curtly said, "Okay fine, I'll leave you be." I put the truck in gear and began to pull away.
Then she yelled, "Wait stop! Please stop!" I stopped and she came back to the window.
With tears running from her beautiful blue eyes she asked pitifully, "Can you please give me a ride?"
"Where are you going?" I questioned.
"I don't care, anywhere but here," she cried.
"Sure, hop in," I replied with a smile.
She ran back to the log she was sitting on, grabbed a backpack that was behind the log and climbed in my truck.
As I drove off she whined, "Please don't hurt me, man."
"Miss, I promise you, I'm not going to hurt you," I replied in a soft tone.
She tossed her backpack on the back seat as we departed. She pulled her boots up onto the seat and wrapped her arms around her legs.
"Please don't put your boots on the seat" I requested. She said nothing, put her feet back on the floor and crossed her arms across her chest.
I introduced myself and extended my right hand to her, "I'm Jim."
Looking forward and not uncrossing her arms, she replied softly, "Chrissy."
I pulled my hand back to the wheel and asked, "So what brings you all the way out here?"
"Nothing!... Nothing okay!" she yelled angrily.
"Okay..okay..I get it, sorry" I replied.
"Look I'm sorry I yelled.. I just don't want to talk about it, okay?" She said, beginning to cry.
"It's okay, I understand," I assured her.
"Hey, you got anything to eat or drink? I haven't eaten in two days," she asked.
"Oh, shit really? Yeah, there's a cooler on the back seat. There's some sandwiches and drinks in there, help yourself," I replied in a concerned tone.
She climbed up and knelt on the center console to access the cooler. I glanced over and couldn't help but notice her cute little ass. While she fumbled through the cooler I kept looking over at her ass and her dirty bare legs. As a man who hasn't had sex in a while, I got a bit aroused by her.
She finally sat back down with a sandwich and a Michelob Ultra beer.
"Oh God I'm so hungry and thirsty, thank you so much," she grumbled while she unwrapped the sandwich.
"No problem, enjoy," I responded.
Chrissy devoured the sandwich and guzzled the beer down, she must have been famished.
"Help yourself to more if you want" I offered.
"I'm gonna have another beer if it's okay?" she asked nicely.
"Yeah go ahead," I answered.
Once again I was able to admire her ass and legs with impure thoughts. She sat back down and cracked the beer. Chrissy seemed to be loosening up a bit and was getting more comfortable with me.
