Jack pulled his rig off the road and allowed himself a sigh of relief. The weather was foul, spray everywhere; yes, he was in a big heavy rig that could handle it but the wind buffeting his trailer from the side required all his concentration. He would use the facilities and then grab a bite to eat, maybe then the weather would abate a bit. He emerged from his cab and as he scanned the way to his door, his peripheral vision caught sight of a slight figure huddled under a green parka coat seemingly trying their best to shelter from the elements. Just as the thought appeared in his head 'This is no weather to be out, whatever your circumstance' something in the way the figure held themselves added the thought 'Vulnerable person. If they are not careful some cruel bastard's going to exploit you.'
Something made him walk towards the stranger "Have you anywhere to get out of this weather?" His words made the individual physically jump and that was when Jack saw they were having to riffle through a bin making him have a change of heart "Look come with me out of the rain and we'll get you fixed up with something warm to eat."
The hood of the coat was pulled back and the thin face stared back at him "Can't" a shallow female voice sounded, adding "No money."
That galvanised Jack, she couldn't be much more than 18 and looked so fragile making him try to steer her to the cafΓ© saying "Don't worry about that, it'll be my treat and before you ask, no I don't want anything in return I just want to try a do a good deed each day and you are todays. I'm heading in there anyway and it'll make a pleasant change to have some company. Once I'm satisfied you've eaten something you're free to be on your way."
The figure didn't initially budge and wanting to get out of the rain himself Jack steered her to the door by extending his arm behind her without actually touching her. Upon reaching the door he wrenched it open easily but stepped back to allow the stranger to enter before him. As a waitress strode towards them Jack informed her with his deep voice "Table for two please" as they removed their coats. It was obvious the stranger had been sleeping rough for some time and as they took their seats facing each other Jack instructed her "Have whatever you want from the menu."
In a shallow voice, she replied, "I'll just make do with some dry toast."
"No that won't do at all" was his immediate reply. "Order a meal, whatever appeals, burger, pizza, stew pick a couple if needs be." He guessed she was about to argue as she drew a breath in and he decided to clarify "Look, I promised my late mother on her death bed that I would try every day to make her proud of me. She was my world and I took that oath seriously so for my own sake please don't make me let her down. Bad things happen to people like you, they may already have for all I know, but you need to know that there are still good people out there. There isn't much I can do for you but this is something, maybe the only thing I can do for today's chosen good deed."
The stranger just stared at him aghast "I... I... don't know what to say."
"Don't say anything other than what you want to eat" he stated as he held his hand out saying "I'm Jack by the way."
The stranger took his hand and daintily shook it once "Arden. That tower burger looks nice."
Jack smiled and nodded "Then that is what you will have but what to drink? And no, just a glass of water won't cut it."
She smiled at him guessing what she would have said, it was the first smile he had seen from her but just that made his gesture seem worthwhile. In the end, she ordered a Cola which Jack asked for a large. They sat and made strained small talk while they waited for their food which in fairness wasn't that long. The way she attacked her burger made Jack wonder when the last time she had eaten. He didn't have kids but seeing her in this state brought out the paternal side of him, especially as he figured she was just about young enough to possibly be his daughter. 'You wouldn't treat an animal this poorly' was his mindset. After they had eaten, seeing as the weather was still foul, they sat to let their food digest and Jack asked about the elephant in the room "So what next for Arden, are you heading someplace in particular?"
This was the point when Arden retreated into herself, shrugged and mumbled "Dunnow. Anywhere but here I guess."
It was such a shame to have someone so young so broken and so Jack decided to steer the conversation "You can ride with me if you want, it's warm and dry and we can take turns with the bunk in the back." He held up his hands as he quickly added "It's nothing creepy, I'm not going to push you for sexual favours or anything like that. I have a two-day run north to drop this load and then pick up another load a day east from there. You decide when and where you jump off, I'll understand though if you'd rather not get in a big rig with a stranger."
Her look of concern soon changed to one of delight when he laid out that he wasn't looking for anything dodgy and she eventually replied "If you don't mind I'd like to ride along. Something tells me there's something different about you."
Jack smiled, he rarely got the chance of company while driving so he said "Okay, let's settle up, make a toilet trip and get some snacks for the journey. What would you like?" Arden was bashful again but picked out her favourite from when she was a child. As they made their selection Jack spotted a small stand of toiletries and asked "I don't have any of that stuff and figure neither do you. Do you need any sanitary products?"
