The voice took Effie by surprise – she had thought she was alone in the bus station.  She turned and saw a young guy with long dark hair, holding his hands behind his back.  “Ehmm…I’m OK”, she said, blushing at the fact that someone off the bus who had seen her with her skirt hiked up to her waist was now standing here.  She looked nervously at the tall man standing behind – he had a sort of scary feel about him.  She really wished the ride would turn up – it was cold and she was getting hungry.
