THE HOOK

A COUPLE WERE PARKED AT A LOVER'S LANE NEAR JACKSON STATE PRISON.
WHILE LISTENING TO THE RADIO, THEY HEARD THAT A MAN ESCAPED FROM
PRISON. HE WAS DESCRIBED AS HAVING A HOOK FOR ONE OF HIS HANDS.
AFTER STAYING THERE FOR A WHILE, THEY DECIDED TO LEAVE. WHEN
THE BOY GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR THE GIRL, HE FOUND
THE HOOK ON THE CAR DOOR (PASSENGER SIDE).
