Story
Narrator: Jonesy and Olivia went to the movies. Then they went for a ride in Jonesy's car. They parked up on a hill at the edge of town. From there they could see the lights up and down the valley. Jonesy turned on the radio and found some music. But an announcer broke in with a news bulletin. A murderer had escaped from the state prison. He was armed with a knife and was headed south on foot. His left hand was missing. In its place, he wore a hook.

Olivia: Let’s roll up the windows and lock the doors.

Jonesy: That’s a good idea.

Olivia: That prison isn’t too far away. Maybe we really should go home.

Jonesy: But it's only 10:00.

Olivia: I don't care what time it is. I want to go home.

Jonesy: Look, Olivia, he’s not going to climb all the way up here. Why would he do that? Even if he did, all the doors are locked. How could he get in?

Olivia: Jonesy, he could take that hook and break through a window and open a door. I'm scared. I want to go home.

Narrator: Jonesy was annoyed.

Jonesy: Girls always are afraid of something.

Narrator: As he started the car, Olivia thought she heard someone, or something, scratching at her door.

Olivia: Did you hear that? It sounded like somebody was trying to get in.

Jonesy: Oh sure.

Narrator: Soon they got to her house.

Olivia: Would you like to come in and have some cocoa?

Jonesy: No. I've got to get home.

Narrator: He went around to the other side of the car to let her out. Hanging on the door handle was a hook.
