The context of the following conversation is Alex threw fate to the winds and ran full speed through the thick woods in the middle of the night.:
Alex says I survived!.
The friend responds What, you survived a night out at the cabin?  What's the big deal?.
Alex responds What's the big deal?  Didn't you hear about the escaped murderer on the loose in our area?  The one with the steel hook where his right hand used to be?.
The friend responds Did Peter tell that old campfire story last night?.
Alex responds Story?  It's all true!   He told us about how the murderer is still on the loose, and might be in the area.  Then, I saw the hook on the car door!  It freaked me out!  When I saw it, I just turned and ran like a lunatic until I got to the highway, and then I flagged down a truck to give me a ride home!  You know something about this?.
The friend responds I guess you could say so. Peter borrowed the hook from my dad last Friday.  He said he was gonna play the best prank ever.  I guess you are the one who got pranked!.
