Ella hitched her backpack up on the shoulder as she stood at the side of the road, thumb out, trying to catch a ride. She wasn't having much luck though since she'd been there for half an hour with people just driving past her. She knew hitch hiking could be dangerous, but Ella always carried a pen knife on her, tucked into the back pocket of her shorts. She sighed softly as she began walking further down the road, still holding her thumb out.
Lucas ran his fingers through his hair, letting out a stressed sigh as he entered the small diner. He was there a little earlier than usual which was a surprise, but there was no point staying at the office any later when he was the only one in there. He was a regular at the diner now, going in there at all hours to grab coffee and a quick meal while he worked on his laptop. Thank god they had free wifi.
