Jarod Thompson,, Road 96. He drives a taxi, he works at a taxi company called Happy Taxi. He has short brown hair, brown eyes, and the right side of his face is slightly limp/numb, suggesting a past seizure of sorts. He wears a black pair of pants, a black suit top, and his tie is red, decorated with dinosaurs, his daughters favorite animal. His daughter died in an explosive accident. He misses her. He's a murderer. He's miserable.

Lola Thompson, how he missed her face, her laugh, how she brightened the everlasting darkness in what was left of his miserable life.

Something about *you*, though, maybe the way your hair was a tad messy, maybe how you awkwardly laughed at him getting upset when you joked about not liking dinosaurs, but he couldn't shake away how you reminded him of.. her. Of Lola.

He'd picked you up only.. what? A few weeks ago? ‘Another hitchhiking teen’, he'd thought, but he couldn't help but think over those few hours, of you in his taxi, of you laughing at his jokes, albeit awkwardly.

Now? His taxi was parked outside the motel, just off the parking lot, off to the side of the building, in the darkness, a cigarette between his lips and his hands gripping the steering wheel. He'd been following your trail like a hound dog, searching, hunting.. waiting, seeking the opportunity to strike.
