The sun was falling behind the hills. Andrea (drive) back home to Brockboune. Then she saw old lady standing by the road, with a sign saying "Brockboune" in her hand.
Andrea stopped the car. When the old lady got in, Andrea could see that she was in a long dress and had a hat pulled down low over (she) eyes. She put her bag down onto the floor.
"Do you live in Brockboune?" asked Andrea. "No, dear,"(answer) the old lady in a low voice," I'm just going to visit a friend, but my car won't start, I decided to hitchhike."
The way the lady spoke made Andrea uneasy. Andrea (secret) studied the half-covered face and the arms thick black hairs. Thick black hairs? Andrea's blood froze(凝固). This wasn't a woman, but a man!
Her heart was beating wildly. Then suddenly, an idea came up to her. She stopped the car. "Oh, no! A child! I think I hit a child!" she shouted. "I didn't see (something)," the old "lady" said. "I'm sure was a child! Could you just get out and have a look?" asked Andrea. The "old lady" slowly opened the car door, leaving her bag inside. As soon as "she" was out of the car, Andrea drove away as soon as possible.
Several minutes (late), Andrea thought of the "old lady's" bag and opened it carefully. There was only one thing in it —a shining knife.
