Chapter 27 - Sunflower
On the Road, 10 miles out of Albany (The Next Day)
'Welcome to New York, The Empire State.' Cindy smiles at the sign. Her sunglasses pinches her nose. the sun rises bright on a long night drive. The truck was wheezing. Cindy gazes at Andy. His eyes stained of red hot tears from last night. She gazes at a body in the back of the truck, the body of Tobey Parker, wrapped in blankets, and stained in his blood.

A Field of Sunflowers, Outskirts of Albany (A Few minutes after driving)
Cindy leans on a wet oak. Andy shovels the pile of dirt, laying it on top of a hill of soil. Andy stops and gazes at a field of sunflowers. He drops the shovel and takes out a piece of paper. Cindy walks next to his side.
His lips pursed. He stares at the paper. He drops it onto the pile of dirt. A Picture of Tobey, with his garden back at the warehouse in Miles's New York.
"Well." Andy gazes at the field. "At least there's flowers in the valley and uh."
Andy sniffs and starts to whimper. Cindy gazes at Andy's hand, stained of blood and pus. Cindy weaves her small hands into his big hands.
"There's." Andy whimpers. "There's sunflowers for you."
Andy's lips curled. He exhales and shakes it off. He stares at the grave and blows out hot air and pierces the soil with his shovel.
He jerks Cindy's hand and walks away. Cindy watches the bruised Spider-Man walk to his truck on the side of the highway.
Cindy hears the cranking from the truck, it kept cranking, but there only was one poof. The roars of Andy's voice echoes in the air. He bangs the truck, as the alarm sounds.
"Fuck. Fuck. FUCK! Shit!" Andy limps out of the truck, and opens the hood, a large puff of black smoke fumes the air.
Cindy stares for a while, then finds a minivan in the distance of the highway. She glances back and gapes, as Andy frustration unleashes and starts to damage the truck with his shovel. The wailing truck starts to aggravate him. He throws the shovel out to the field. He lifts it with his super strength and throws the truck out of the street.
He stumbles. He falls.
Cindy sighs. She walks to the side of the street and shows her thumb.
