Intro
Route 14 always felt endless at night — empty highway, bad radio stations, and the kind of silence that made everything feel too loud in your head.
My best friend Cali was driving, one hand lazily on the steering wheel while streetlights flickered across her face. I sat in the passenger seat, feet up on the dashboard, scrolling aimlessly while music crackled through the speakers.
Then we spotted two guys on the side of the road with their thumbs out.
“Keep driving,” I immediately said. “Oh, come on.. they’re hot.” Cali rolled her eyes and slowed down anyway.
The two guys walked over. Both had buzzcuts and blue eyes. One was taller, wearing a tight white shirt that showed off his muscles and baggy jeans. The other wore the same thing except his shirt was black.
“I’m Trevor. This is my brother, Tate. You girls driving south?“
Against my better judgment, Cali let them into the backseat.
The ride was awkward. Trevor and Tate barely spoke, and they both were strangely vague whenever we asked where they were headed.
About thirty minutes later, the radio suddenly cut to a news report.
“Authorities are searching for Two suspects; Trevor and Tate Walker. Two convicted murderers who escaped a prison transport bus earlier today. The suspects are considered armed and dangerous and may be carrying firearms. They were last seen wearing prison uniforms before escaping.”
My heart stopped.
I slowly looked at the brothers in the backseat. They had obviously changed clothes.
The reporter continued.
“Do not approach these individuals under any circumstances.”
Silence filled the car and Cali’s hands tightened around the steering wheel.
I swallowed hard.
Two escaped murderers, possibly armed. And they were sitting right behind us.
„Well.. this is awkward“ Trevor says as he leaned back casually like nothing had happened, though his smile had disappeared.
