Chapter Two
PC Penhale was walking past the school when a large 4x4 drove by. He barely had time to recognise Sam as the driver as he hurtled past, going far too fast for the narrow roads. Horrified, Penhale ran after him, shouting,
'Sam! Stop!'
Sam was having a great time. People were shouting and staring and now PC Penhale was chasing him. He laughed as he skidded into the top car park, narrowly missing a car on its way out. He eased off the accelerator and sedately wove round the cars in the car park until PC Penhale came into the car park and came towards him. Sam waited till Penhale was only a few yards away then he raced out of the car park and down the hill. Sam kept his foot pressed firmly on the accelerator and watched in the rear view mirror as PC Penhale dropped behind.
In front of him, the irate car owner was stepping out into the road to try to make him stop. Sam swerved to avoid him and carried on down the hill. Sam thought about driving into the sea but decided it would be more fun to make PC Penhale chase him some more. He would dump the car and run for it.
Up ahead the school gate beckoned invitingly and Sam aimed for the open space triumphantly. As soon as he was in the playground Sam reached for the brake pedal but his foot couldn't move away from the accelerator. Glancing down, he saw that his laces were tangled around the pedal. He tugged hard and his foot came free. He slammed his foot on the brake just as the car hit the school.
Sam had a moment of horrified realisation and then the first of the stones hit the car.
