Generation Gap

Trey sat in the car reading a paper when he saw a black car pull into a vacant lot. After a couple of thumps it drove away again. He was bored, so Trey put his paper down and sauntered over to the road. There was no one around as he walked over to the lot. In one corner lay a tangle of white. As Trey got closer he saw the naked body of a young girl, a bit younger than what Lizzy pretended to be. Bruises on her neck showed where she had been strangled. He touched her to check for a pulse. Her eyes opened and she tried to scream through her shattered throat. Trey shouted with surprise and fell over backwards. He looked around, but there was still no one about. He picked her up and wrapped her in his jacket. In a moment they were back at the car and he called Red.


"I need an emergency pickup and medical team."


Lizzy returned just before the team van pulled up.
