Chapter 2: Effect

Ricks car had been turned on its side, the perpetrators car had been overturned in the ditch. I could see the drivers body hanging in his seat.

I continued to make my way to the only vehicle that concerned me and around to the front windshield, It had taken me by surprise. As I stumbled off back for help, without warning it hit me, like a punch in the gut. I grabbed the front wheel releasing both my firearm and the contents of my stomach.

Lori couldn't even be made out and Carl had been horribly mangled. Leon Basset ran full sprint to the scene, he investigated the ditch and then Loris car.

"My god, they're all dead!"

Leon never did have much use for discretion, he wasn't really altogether all that bright either, the only reason he even had his badge in the first place was thanks to a wealthy uncle, but in his defense Leon Basset was a fairly good guy and a diligent worker.

One of the other officers responded by calling dispatch.

I shuffled my way back towards Rick, his gaze hadn't sifted from the scene that was once his car-

that was once his family .

He'll never be right and ill have to live with that image for the rest of my life.

Shane closed his eyes only for a moment, when visions of Carl's open face invaded his mind. A look of shock and horror was the last expression his face would ever make, Shane couldn't fight back the tears any longer, falling to his knees he griped his mouth with one hand and let out a soft sob.

All eyes where on Shane, no one quite understood the situation, but they could guess and a few officers weren't far from the mark.

There was a silence, a stillness in the air, with the exception of the occasional shuffling sound.

rather than an uneasy or awkward silence it was more out of respect, sometimes when a persons upset what they need more than anything is space.

Leon broke the silence.

"Hes got a Gun!"

Shane heard two clicks before a laud and sudden boom.

Leon was holding Shane's gun, a body laid face down in the grass, this one was a long haired man wearing a faded blue shirt.

Shane could only look on at Leon in surprise.
