This thread happens after Sam & Jodie's phone call to Diane. They should conclude that thread before entering this one
Everyone just knows that the roads aren’t safe these days. Psycho killers stand along the edge of obscure routes, searching for prey as they thumb for a ride, while carjackers stalk the back roads in fake cruisers and stolen uniforms, more than willing to part honest folks from their vehicles. It’s a sick, convoluted tapestry, woven out of countless miles of asphalt; as dark, strange and twisted
as anything that happens among the labyrinthine alleys of any crumbling metropolis, or within the walled palatial estates of the
jaded rich.
Along certain stretches of road, people occasionally go missing. Often they’re the sorts whom no one misses: runaways and prostitutes, transients and criminals. Perhaps the monsters that infest the shadows take them, whether to drink their blood or to feed on their souls, or perhaps some alien consciousness seeping up out of the land itself desires them. Most of the time, though, it’s just mundane human evil that makes people disappear.
The morning after Micheal's BBQ: 9 A.M.
Preparations are needed to prepare to head to Temecula and meet with Diane. Diane's stated that she wants to arrive at the site about an hour before the buyer so that she can ensure everything is one the up and up. Diane has told you the night before that she'll be departing at 10 A.M. today. Yet a few moments ago, you receive a text that she's about an hour out from Temecula. She asks that you pick up some sunscreen for her - there doesn't appear to be any rest stops further down the road. She gives you the address in Temecula - 294 Woodpiper Way, a 'Hitcher's Post' motel.
Any Google earth or web visits reveal that 294 woodpiper Way is a small, isolated pocket. The latest Google earth image was from seven months ago and only shows a rundown motel from several yards away, the 'Hitcher's Post' sign in disrepair. There are no restaurants, shops or competing motels showing up in an internet search in a 40 mile radius.
What preparations do you make to depart and catch up with Diane?
