The Night (Chap 2)

As Josh made the way towards the car front to check if something else went wrong he could clearly hear the bleating of the two who had not yet come to a conclusion.

Josh opened up the hood and inspected the engine with a hawk eye.
"Nope all seems to be okay here!" shouted out Josh. "Weird, then where did the fuel go?" Josh murmured to himself.
"You done Josh? This two won't stop fighting looks like"  Amy asked.

Josh stared straight into Amy's eyes. He looked awestruck. Something that was not usually associated with him. Not having a clue what to do Josh bent down to his knees to have a peek under the car.

"Wow..." Josh giggled. Finding the funny side of such a freakish incident.
It was then when he discovered that petrol was leaking out all this way. Strangely yet again this did not seem to be the case at the last station. The car looked fine, rather tip-top. How did it even happen. Well a question that Josh himself cannot answer.

"Hey guys! The fuel is all over. Guess we have to walk now. About 2 to 3 kilometres from here." Josh said gloomily.
"Was there a leak?"asked Jim curiously.
"How did you know Jim?" Josh replied dumbfounded.
"Um... I did see a man middle aged... well not a man... but looked... Um... like a man... I mean..." Jim stuttered.
"You mean what JIM?!!" Josh asked angrily.
"A man. I mean a man. Fiddling with your car. Did not know what he was doing. By the time I would have caught that thing... it ran away." Jim replied.
"Wow Jim you knew it all along. What are you scumbag? Are you even useful for anything? It's all because of you we are stuck in the middle of, God knows where." Serena exclaimed.
"Oh please shut up you drama queen. I am better than you!" Jim replied.
"Ohhh... you better take that back sweetie!" Serena said angrily.
"Or else what? You will call your boyfriend?" Jim replied laughing.
"Guys stop... okay? Please stop...! We need to start walking. The place will get colder by the night. Also we are left with no food in the car..."
"Yeah Serena ate most of the food. She even had my piece of custard tart!" Jim interrupted Josh.
Just as Serena jumped out off her seat to reply, Josh screamed angrily for the first time.
"Stay put you two! Sit down now! (Jim and Serena sat in their seats after that without uttering a single word). Listen to me carefully everyone. Take your belongings and let's start walking. We need to reach the place quickly. Last thing you want would be a ghost trying to kill you!"

As Josh finished his words a hoarse voice spoke up from behind. "No, not a ghost! But a killer. A mad killer. You might have just met him..."

A lantern glow spread through the dark night. There stood someone holding the lantern. Very little could be seen of him in the dark but it was not much later when the person started walking towards them and his face...
