Jack Kilborn J A Konrath Truck Stop A Psycho Thriller TRUCK STOP takes - photo 1

Jack Kilborn, J. A. Konrath

Truck Stop

A Psycho Thriller

TRUCK STOP takes place before the events portrayed in AFRAID by Jack Kilborn, SERIAL UNCUT by Jack Kilborn & Blake Crouch, and FUZZY NAVEL by JA Konrath. Reading the authors previous work isnt necessary to enjoy TRUCK STOP, though both authors encourage you to buy everything theyve written. They also encourage you to buy them beer.

Taylor liked toes.

He wasnt a pervert. At least, not that kind of pervert. Taylor didnt derive sexual gratification from feet. Women had other parts much better suited for that type of activity. But he was a sucker for a tiny foot in open-toed high heels, especially when the toenails were painted.

Painted toes were yummy.

The truck stop whore wore sandals, the cork wedge heels so high her toes were bent. She had small feet they looked like a size five and her nails matched her red mini skirt. Taylor spotted her through the windshield as she walked over to his Peterbilt, wiggling her hips and wobbling a bit. Taylor guessed she was drunk or stoned. Perhaps both.

He climbed out of his cab. When his cowboy boots touched the pavement he reached his hands up over his head and stretched, his vertebrae cracking. The night air was hot and sticky with humidity, and he could smell his own sweat.

The whore blew smoke from the corner of her mouth. Hiya, stranger. My names Candi. With an I.

Im Taylor. With a T.

He smiled. She giggled, then hiccupped.

Even in the dim parking lot light, Candi with an I was nothing to look at. Mid-thirties. Cellulite. Twenty pounds too heavy for her skirt and halter top. She wore sloppy make-up, her lipstick smeared, making Taylor wonder how many truckers shed already blown on this midnight shift.

But she did have very cute toes. She dropped her cigarette and crushed it into the pavement, and Taylor licked his lower lip.

Been on the road a long time, Taylor?

Twelve hours in from Cinci. My ass is flatter than roadkill armadillo.

She eyed his rig. He was hauling four bulldozers on his flatbed trailer. They were heavy, and his mileage hadnt been good, making this run much less profitable than it should have been.

But Taylor didnt become a trucker to get rich. He did it for other reasons.

You feeling lonely, Taylor? You looking for a little company?

Taylor knew he could use a little company right now. He could also use a meal, a hot shower, and eight hours of sleep.

It was just a question of which need hed cater to first.

He looked around the truck stop lot. Pretty full for late night in Bumblefuck, Wisconsin. Over a dozen rigs and just as many cars. The 24 hour gas station had a line for the pumps, and Murrays Eats, the all-night diner, appeared full.

On either side of the cloverleaf there were a few other restaurants and gas stations, but Murrays was always busy because they boasted more than food and diesel. Besides the no-hassle companionship the management and local authorities tolerated, Murrays had a full-size truck wash, a mechanic on duty, and free showers.

After twelve hours of caffeine sweating in this muggy Midwestern August, Taylor needed some quality time with a bar of soap just as badly as he needed quality time with a parking lot hooker.

But it didnt make sense to shower first, when he was only going to get messy again.

How much? he asked.

That depends on -

Half and half, he cut her off, not needing to hear the daily menu specials.

Twenty-five bucks.

She didnt look worth twenty-five bucks, but he wasnt planning on paying her anyway, so he agreed.

Great, sugar. I just need to make a quick stop at the little girls room and Ill be right back.

She spun on her wedges to leave, but Taylor caught her thin wrist. He knew she wasnt going to the washroom. She was going to her pimp to give him the four Ps: Price, preferences, plate number, parking location. Taylor didnt see any single men hanging around; only other whores, and none of them were paying attention. Her pimp was probably in the restaurant, unaware of this particular transaction, and Taylor wanted to keep it that way.

Im sorta anxious to get right to it, Candi. He smiled wide. Women loved his smile. Hed been told, many times, that he was good-looking enough to model. If you leave me now, I might just find some other pretty girl to spend my money on.

Candi smiled back. Well, we wouldnt want that. But Im short on protection right now, honey.

Ive got rubbers in the cab. Taylor switched to his brooding, hurt-puppy dog look. I need it bad, right now, Candi. So bad Ill throw in another ten spot. Thats thirty-five bucks for something we both know will only take a few minutes.

Taylor watched Candi work it out in her head. This john was hot to trot, offering more than the going rate, and hed probably be really quick. Plus, he was cute. She could probably do him fast, and pocket the whole fee without having to share it with her pimp.

You got yourself a date, sugar.

Taylor took another quick look around the lot, made sure no one was watching, and hustled Candi into his cab, climbing up behind her and locking the door.

The trucks windows were lightly tinted making it difficult for anyone on the street to see inside. Not that Candi bothered to notice, or care. As soon as Taylor faced her she was pawing at his fly.

The bedroom is upstairs. Taylor pointed to the stepladder in the rear of the extended cab, leading to his overhead sleeping compartment.

Is there enough room up there? Some of those spaces are tight.

Plenty. I customized it myself. Its to die for.

Taylor smiled, knowing he was being coy, knowing it didnt matter at this point. His heart rate was up, his palms itchy, and he had that excited/sick feeling that junkies got right before they jabbed the needle in. If Candi suddenly had a change of heart, there wasnt anything she could do about it. She was past the point of no return.

But Candi didnt resist. She went up first, pushing the trap door on the cabs ceiling, climbing into the darkness above. Taylor hit the light switch on his dashboard and followed her.

What is this? Padding?

She was on her hands and knees, running her palm across the floor of the sleeper, testing its springiness with her fingers.

Judo mats. Extra thick. Very easy to clean up.

You got mats on the walls too? She got on her knees and reached overhead, touching the spongy material on the arced ceiling, her exposed belly jiggling.

Those are baffles. Keeps the sound out. He smiled, closing the trap door behind him. And in.

The lighting was subdued, just a simple overhead fixture next to the smoke alarm. The soundproofing was black foam, the mats a deep beige, and there was no furniture in the enclosure except for an inflatable rubber mattress and a medium-sized metal trunk.

This is kind of kinky. Are you kinky, Taylor?

You might say that.

Taylor crawled over to the trunk at the far end of the enclosure. After dialing the combination lock, he opened the lid. Then he moved his Tupperware container aside and took out a fresh roll of paper towels, a disposable paper nose and mouth mask, and an aerosol spray can. He ripped off three paper towels, then slipped the mask on over his face, adjusting the rubber band so it didnt catch in his hair.

What is that, sugar? Candi asked. Her flirty, playful demeanor was slipping a bit.

Starter fluid. You squirt it into your carburetor, it helps the engine turn over. Its main ingredient is diethyl ether.

He held the paper towels at arms length, then sprayed them until they were soaked.
