The Deadly Series

"Hi, Mom, just wanted to let you know I'll be a little later than planned. I had a mishap on the road and got pushed off into a ditch." 


"Yes, I'm fine. Just a little scratch on my forehead, and you know how head cuts bleed, so I have some blood on my blouse."


"Probably within thirty minutes or so. I got a ride from someone who stopped behind me so I'll be there soon, Mom. Don't worry. See you then. Bye, Mom."


Tory was anxious to get back on the road and make the short drive there. Her head began to really pound as they started out on their way to Hickoryville. Her hands trembled and her heart felt hollow. She wondered if it was an accident or if someone did this to her on purpose. Who would do this to her? Why?
