Run. If he chases after you stab him in the kneecaps, pull your knife out, and keep running.

"Hey why not?!" you say cheerfully. You open the door and get in.

"Where ya goin', kid?" he asks eeriliy as he looks you up and down.

"I'm headed to New York. I'm running from my uncle."

"Really? I'm delivering....er....a shipment to Connecticut. Hartford area."

You feel odd about the way he is talking, but at least you're headed in the right direction. Everything goes fine for a while until he exits while on I-95.

"Uh where are we going?" you ask uneasily.

"I just need to make a little rest stop." he replies barely above a whisper.

He pulls into a parking lot overgrown with weeds at a park. He hits the brakes really hard. You hear a banging noise in the back.

"Gah!" he exclaims, "I probably just toppled my orange juice shipment! Hey, you're smaller than me. Can you get back there and pick up the cans? Just tell me if there's a mess."

You go back there and just see a sleeping bag, a gas can, some garbage bags, some newspaper, and a lighter.

"What orange j-" you say when suddenly you're grabbed over the mouth.

"I'm gonna show you why you shouldn't talk to strangers, boy" he cackles.

fist him.

You swing your fist backwards striking him in the side of the jaw :cookieMonster:

Run. If he chases after you stab him in the kneecaps, pull your knife out, and keep running.

Drawing your bowie knife, you swing at his knees, but he jumps effortlessly. He opens his arms wide to grab you and you ram it into the side of his neck. Blood flies all over the van. You open the back doors and shove him out, where he falls on the asphalt unconscious.

steal his money, use the van too

steal his money, use the van too
highway patrol's going to forget us over or we forget ourselves over if we drive that van

just get back on the route after gathering what you can and keep on walking

also take the sleeping bag with you, you don't have to store it away just roll it up or something and carry it.

or roll it, then tie it to your backpack

well atleast take his wallet, you can use his credit card at an ATM to take out all of his money for cash

cut off his loving HEAD

You decide against that.

well atleast take his wallet, you can use his credit card at an ATM to take out all of his money for cash

You take his wallet and find $230 holy crap. You take his cards but I doubt we can use them without a PIN. You also find a $25 Texas Roadhouse gift card. Who knows how much is on it.

Sleeping bag acquired.

You leave the van running with a bloody scene inside and on the ground. You head back towards the interstate but it probably isn't safe to walk up there. You are about 16 miles from Pawtucket, RI.

call a taxi and tell him to take you to Hartford, Connecticut. if he can't take you out of state, just tell him to drop you off at a town near the state border. $499 should be enough to get you there.

locate the nearest town in your route for breakfast.
then buy some snour cream (snail sour scream) and snonion (snail onion) potato chips

Apologies for long wait on this update. Couldn't get online cause I was busy.

Check to see if you got blood on you.

It's only on your right hand and arm. You wipe it off in the grass.

You leave your signature on the man's prone form.

You find a diner in Mansfield and ask for some snour cream & snonion potato chips.

"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't even serve potato chips."

Geez, you'd think SOMEONE would want business!

Pray to satan and hope he gives you a ride on his hellmobile to nyc.

Satan doesn't respond.
