We'd gone about five kilometers when we rounded a bend to see a tiny roadside store with a gas bar.Yes! Corey said, pumping the air. We are now, officially, rescued.You think? Hayley said. I'm not seeing any vehicles.Because it's out in the middle of freaking nowhere. They're probably lucky if they get three cars a day.No, I mean transportation for the person running the place.Corey peered at the empty lot surrounding the small building. Oh.
In the story, Corey and Hayley are traveling through a desolate area when they come across a small roadside store with a gas station. Corey feels a sense of relief and excitement, proclaiming that they are now officially rescued. However, Hayley remains skeptical, noticing the lack of vehicles around, which indicates the remoteness of the location and the infrequency of visitors.
Hayley points out that the store may not even have someone to ensure it operates, as the empty lot surrounding the building suggests no transportation for the worker. This realization adds a layer of concern, indicating that their situation may not be as hopeful as Corey initially believed.
