Man gives hitchhiker a lift home-and is shocked by the news the next day

 Carter restarted the truck, breathed a sigh of relief, and focused again. He had to drive an hour in the opposite direction to get back on track. Even though he was an hour behind schedule, he was glad he'd picked up the girl.As he drove, he thought about the situation. He couldn't help but think about how dangerous it would have been if someone else had been in the car with her. His decision to help her seemed right, but he couldn't ignore how strange it all was.
