Loki didn't show him any respect instead he looked down on him.
"Anyway, why you people aren't carrying any guns. Don't you know this road is dangerous and It gets more at night? The forest is enclosed with wild animals. They are harmful as hell. You people should be very careful about it."
"We did have a gun..." Loki looked at the gun laying on the hand of the old man. "Then what did you got scared to shoot?"
Loki gazed at the old man as he looked dead to him.
"Old Man...Old man...." Loki shook him a bit but he didn't respond to his call. Finding no way Loki quickly held the gun and checked its bullets.
"Don't worry he didn't die." The yet-to known savior said.
Loki didn't pay to heed to him and check the bullet case.
"hmm, the bullets are all here. Not a single one was fired." He mumbled to himself.
" Hey! Don't ignore me. That old fart went unconscious the moment I shot the lion. Probably he fainted because of shock." The yet-to known savior said chuckling.
The lion was still not dead but it could be said that it was on its death bed. Loki wasn't convinced by the man's words. The peculiar-looking man was indeed a weirdo. His appearance was nothing but an annoyance to Loki. The clothes he was wearing were just like a hunter. A hat, long pants, and an off-white color shirt didn't go with him well. All together made him stand out.
Loki was confused about what to do now.
First, the truck was broken as the lion smashed it. Secondly, the old man is unconscious that made him harder to transport. Thirdly there's no way they could walk to the gas station. The only way was to ask the help of the weird man who Loki didn't trust a bit. Why would he? He didn't even know him. He's just a stranger to him.
"Now, Now, You need help? Right?" The man was enjoying it. He tilted his head forward to get a better look at Loki's face.
"Ask now, Don't be shy." He was looking forward to making Loki ask for his help.
In this world, there are people like him who just want to be useful to others. They love to see people's miserable faces.
Loki made a deep sigh as he had no alternatives.
"Fine, please help us."
"OKAY!!" replied the man excitingly. "get your stuff and follow me."
The road wasn't very lively. Not many people came across this road. It could be said that it was an idle place for a horror movie. The long tree beside the road was made this place more appealing. Not to mention the side signs that were not readable looked as if it was broken by a wild animal. The scratching marks were visible to bare eyes. Loki got down from the truck and began talking out the old man. At that moment, he hid the gun in his pocket not being seen by the hunter man. The man was goofing around waiting for him to finish his business.
