Ned nodded his head in agreement.
He stepped on the brake, and suddenly the car started to slide on the slick pavement.
They plunged off the road slid to a half at the bottom of an incline.
Pale and shaking, Ned quickly turned to check if Susan was all right.
When she nodded, Ned relaxed and looked through the rain soaked windows.
I’m going to see how bad it is, he told Susan, and when out into the storm.
She saw his blurry figure in the headlight, walking around the front of the car.
A moment later, he jumped in beside her, soaking wet.
The car’s not badly damaged, but we’re wheel-deep in mud, he said.
I’m going to have to go for help.
