Picking up strangers can be dangerous

The HitchHiker by R.L.Stine
Page 1-20

Although I am just starting this book I have read some interesting facts about the hitchhiker (James). So far within the few pages I have read I know that there is something that James is running from. A voice that seems to follow him saying "Please don't, James. Please-don't hurt me.". Although it is unclear why James is running and why he hears these cries it seems as if he is running from something bad, something he did. James Hitchhiked his way from Key West to Lauderdale with an old man and now James has been picked up by Christina and Terri. Christina and Terri spot James hitchhiking on Highway 84 and pull over to pick him up. Although he looks like a nice guy Terri still believes that picking up a stranger is not a good idea. With James' attitude towards questions that the girls ask Terri begins to worry. As for James he think he has told the girls a little to much about himself. So for now he keeps quiet.

If you were on your way home and seen a "hot" guy or girl hitchhiking would you pick him/her up?

If i were to see some one on the road hitch hiking i would deffinatly not stop because of their good looking appearence, theres more to them then just good looks. After all their just strangers and we dont know nothing about them, Who knows.. they could be crazy or even worse, a physcho killer.
