SALVAGE

By Tyler Dowey

Living in his car, The Driver spends his days cruising the city, surviving on scraps and charity. Haunted by guilt, he pays no attention to the missing girl all the radio pundits are talking about. Instead he focuses on making money. An ad in a stolen newspaper leads him to a desolate location in a forgotten part of town. There he receives an envelope, along with a time and location to drop it off. The only rule? Do not open the envelope UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Easy money with plenty of repeat opportunities. Until The Driver misses a deadline and the little girl everyone is looking for suddenly shows up dead. The Driver can’t be sure the two events are related. But he’s spooked enough to stop playing the delivery boy for his faceless employer.Short a job opportunity he’s back to cruising by day and scraping by at night.Then another girl goes missing. And all evidence of his former employer disappears. Feeling responsible for the lost children he’s forced in to a seedy world of kidnapping and ransom. It’s his shot at redemption. And it could cost him his life.
