You're just coming back from a walk, it's terribly cold and it's started to rain. You don't have an umbrella, so you're walking through the streets of the city, irritated and soaked, towards your apartment building. Suddenly a car pulls up next to you and you see him through the cracked window. He smiles warmly at you and says

"Hey, I see someone had bad luck today. Want a ride home?"

He laughs softly. You don't know him very well, but he's not a complete stranger to you , he's a man who used to live above you with his wife and children, but after the woman's mysterious disappearance he and his three children moved to a house nearby. You always thought there was something strange about him but you could never figure out what exactly so you didn't bother with your suspicions. You hesitate whether it's a good decision to get into Mr. Afton's car, but on the other hand, what could happen? After all, you are him in the local store or around the block when you go for a walk with your dog. He was always smiling around people but that smile.. wasn't natural like any other human's. It looked forced but no one ever paid much attention to it, after all, what difference does it make whether he sincerely liked someone or not? He's just another weirdo like many in this slowly emptying town. When he notices that you're standing there lost in thought for a while, he calls you again

"Hey, are you getting in?"

you jump in surprise, torn from your thoughts, and nod uncertainly. When you're in the passenger seat, you fasten your seatbelt and he starts driving

"I hope you don't mind but I have to stop by my pizzeria on the way, I left something very important in the office. It will only take a moment, don't worry. Isn't that a problem for you?"

he has a slightly apologetic tone and continues driving
