Car trouble
Marie, while she were riding a car to L.A., just even couldn't wait to get out of the small Oklahoma town she was born and raised in, with nothing to do there but count the chickens and tumble weeds! Strange as it might seem, she was 20 years old and nothing worried her in this interesting world!
By everybody’s opinion, Marie was pretty enough to be in the movies, so she thought "Why not?" and started to make a reality of this idea. To have enough money to make her move, she was working two years in the diner. So, finally, the day had come. She felt herself like if she would be a kid on Christmas morning! One of the things Marie had saved up for was a good used car, so she and her dad had looked all over until they found this "cherry" 1991 Mustang convertible - a convertible in Los Angeles, boy was this going to be the life!!!
Marie felt like she had the world by the tail, heading west with the top down and the wind in her hair, but little did she know that within the next twenty four hours her whole life would become a total disaster. Marie realized that only two hundred fifty miles left to L.A. The weather was too hot, besides that trip was very uneventful, so, she was not able to manage that terrible heat (around 100 degree in the shade) she did everything: pulled up her convertible top, used her air conditioner but nothing could help. She felt like she was finally on the last leg of her journey, when she pulled into the last stop gas station on the eastern edge of the Mojave Desert . The station attendant told her that the temperature can get up to 120 degrees out there and can cause a whole bunch of car trouble and recommended she pull off the road and wait until nightfall to make her desert crossing. But Marie just couldn't wait the six hours it would take for sundown so she wheeled the Mustang out onto the highway and headed west.
About sixty miles into the Mohave Marie started to realize that her car becoming sluggish. Looking at the gauges she was startled to see that the temperature needle had risen way into the red zone. It took only couple minutes for steam to begin pouring out from under the hood and filling the passenger compartment. Pulling off the road Marie turned off the engine. She went out of her car, popped the hood and she was almost scalded by a hot stream of escaping antifreeze. Marie realized, that she doesn’t know a whole lot about cars, so it seamed that she was in real trouble. Plus to it, in the more than an hour since she left the service station she had not met or been passed by another car. Although she had enough of water, the realization that she was stranded alone in the desert and there is no way to contact anyone for help made her feeling more than a little afraid! Three hours later there were still not one solitary sole. The heat was becoming more and more unbearable! Her water supply had dwindled drastically as Marie had drank too much of it earlier in the day. After this she started seriously thinking about dying in the desert all alone!!! But then, when it started to look the bleakest, out of the east Marie heard the definite sound of an engine! She stood up and craned her neck hoping to get a first glimpse of the on coming vehicle…it was a van - A big red Ford Econoline conversion van!!! "Thanks God, I hope they have some water," Marie thought!
The big van stopped just behind Marie's Mustang and a tall good looking young black man of about twenty five got out. He walked up to her car and asked: "Car trouble?" Marie replied: "I think it's a cracked block," and then she added "I'm on my way to Los Angeles ." "My name's Luke. The guy, driving the van, is Josh," the black man said. "I'm Marie. If I’ll pay you guys, will you give me a lift to L.A. ?" asked Marie. "Well, it's Josh van, let’s ask him," answered Luke. Josh listened to the story Marie had told Luke while looking Marie over at the same, and under his gaze Marie shiver even in the 100 plus degree heat. And then he dropped a bombshell her. If she wanted a ride to L.A. she would have to be more than a little friendly to both he and Luke! Marie felt that her head started to spin! Josh snapped, "Take it or leave it bitch, it makes no never mind to me. Get in or hit the fuckin' road!" Marie realized that here she was totally alone - trapped in the desert with two men who were willing to leave her to die if she did "take care" of them! So she just asked Josh if she could grab her suitcase. "Get it," he said. The next thing Marie knew is that she was in the back of the van riding to L.A. with two strange men who were going to use her as their own personal fuckdoll.
