So now with Joyce McCluskey as the woman and Vic Perin has the man here is tonight suspense play

the shelter This is where I turn off. Now if I remember right, the bus stop is just around that next bend. That's right. There's a shelter there, isn't there? Yes. There we are then. Are you sure you don't mind walking when it's this dark?

It's quite alright. I'm grateful to you for having brought me this far. Oh, it was a pleasure. Well, good night and thank you. Just a minute. And I've never know what these things are going to be.

It has just been recorded by the authorities at the county mental. How about that? This person maybe didn't say that's bad. Maybe I'd better not leave you here on your own. I'm afraid you'll have to.

You're in a hurry and I do want to catch the midnight bus. If you're sure you'll be alright, the bus won't be long. I'll just walk along to the shelter and then stay there. Out of sight.

Well, now if you're sure. Thank you once again. That's quite alright. Good night then. Good night. I watched his car turn off onto a side road and fade into the night. Then I walked ahead towards the bus stop.

It was farther to the shelter than I thought. A car passed me, slowed and then stopped a hundred yards or so ahead. I could hear a door slam as someone got out. Then the car turned around and came back past me.
