17 Episode 3- Mystery Van (2/2)

Shawn and Ellis walk toward them with their weapons ready.

Carrie signals them to not take another step.

They nod.

”Come on! Take it!”

Mike cries a little. ”I'm scared.”

Carrie swallows hard. ”Listen, we aren't going to hurt you!”

”Yeah right!”

”Please! We can help!” Carrie yells back.

A moment of silence before the person sighs. ”H-how do I know I can trust you?”

”You don't! But you can trust me” Carrie looks at Shawn.

Shawn shakes his head.

Carrie sighs. ”I'm going to open the door. Okay?” She puts her hand on the handle. ”If you don't trust me than shoot.” Carrie stands. She takes a deep breath. ”Here I go!” She opens the door.

A woman sits at the other side. She had short messy black hair. She wore a button up shirt with a skirt. Her clothes were also ripped and torn. She had blood all over her. She pointed a gun at Carrie.

Carrie had her arms up. She stared at her.

The woman had mascara running down her cheeks.

”Hi..” Carrie smiled a little. ”I'm Carrie”

”Carley...” She swallowed hard. ”Carley is my n-name..”

Carrie smiled. ”That's pretty” She looks at Shawn. ”Just so you know I do have three others with me. We have a place that you can stay at if you like?”

Carley stared at her thinking. ”Promise?”

Carrie nodded. ”Promise”

Carley threw the gun. She put her arms up.

Shawn and Ellis went next to Carrie.

”You okay?” Ellis asked Carrie.

Carrie didn't say anything but hug him.

He stood there for a second but hugged back.

Mike looked at Carley. ”Whoa”

Shawn helped Carley out. ”How long have you been in here?” He looked around at the messy van. He noticed candy bar wrappers.

Carley rubbed her arms. ”Weeks...months?...I...I really don't know..” She wiped her eyes.

Shawn nodded. ”Okay..” He took off his jacket. ”Here..” He put it around her. ”It's getting cold.”

She smiled. ”Thank you..” She wrapped it more around her.

”If I may ask do you know any place around here that we can get some food or anything?” Mike asks curious.

Carley nodded. ”Yeah. Down the road has a gas station. But the things could be gone by now..”

”That's fine. It's do” Shawn helped her to the road.

Mike followed but looked back at Ellis and Carrie. ”Hmm.” He shook his head and followed Shawn.

”It's going to be okay” Ellis said as he rubbed her head.

Carrie sobbed a little. ”I know” She pulled away. Tears down her cheeks. ”I honestly don't know why I'm crying.” She laughed as she wiped her eyes. ”Thank you but lets go”

He nodded. ”Its fine”
