Dial - Season 1 - Episode 18

I didn’t believe in stuff like that anyway.
Later, as the nurses came to prepare her for discharge, and I went out to pay for her bill at the hospital, I met one of the men who had brought the Pincanto driver in the pick-up.

“Oh, sir!” he said hurriedly. “How’s the poor girl doing? We brought the driver.”
“Oh, she’s okay now,” I said. “She’s going to be discharged.”

“Oh, that’s a relief,” he said and turned away. “The driver didn’t make it. Maybe he had hypertension or something.”
“What?” I asked with narrowed eyes.

“The Picanto driver that almost hit the girl, yes, he’s dead! They pronounced him dead on arrival!” he said, and hurried on.
I stood frozen…

I remembered what the girl had said about that darn chain!

That was when I should have paid the bill and left Akos of Wowo alone!

If her name didn’t freak me out, and the name of her town didn’t convince me to leave her alone, the fact that she told me about the chain and about her father being a fetish priest should definitely have convinced me…

But no, my urge to make her number forty-five on the DIAL list made me brush aside the death of the Picanto driver as just an accident, coincidental! Maybe he had been hypertensive, and the excitement had blown his heart…

Yes, Akos from Wowo was in my blood…
How I wish I had made the decision to walk away that afternoon when I heard the news of the Picanto driver’s demise!

Oh, how I wish I had walked away from Akos of Wowo!
