I nearly dropped the key I was so scared, but knew I HAD to lock that do

Most of the trip was spent on Route 78 through miles of farmlands, towns, and wooded areas. Since it was so late, there were very few other cars on the road. We went for miles without seeing another car. About an hour from home, I noticed a light in the side rear view mirror. At first I thoug
