After leaving the cemetery, Claude felt his mind was fill with stress and pain. Pain of seeing the grave and pain for seeing Alex upset. After stepping outside the tall gates, dark clouds began to form in the sky and the wind started to strongly emerge. Then came the rain, by the time the rain came everyone was in the car. Claude sat slouched in the drivers seat, reality just kept hitting him. As the car set off - Claude put the window wipers on, they were not very affective. While driving all these mental images were running through Claude's mind eg. last moments with Alex/Finnians mum and Alex crying. This was starting to affect Claude's driving, the teenagers in the background were not paying to much attention but could feel vibes that something was wrong ... that is when ...
*screeeeeeech*
The car pulled to a halt, with an extended skid, as it drove over a bridge. The car rocked back and forth from the impact of the halt. Alex and Finnian woke up from being half-asleep, and this definitely woke Claude from his thoughts. The thoughts were just repetitive and destructive - it was lucky that Claude didn't run over a man who was standing on the bridge. Alex was looking out the backseat window, it was filled with fog and raindrops.
A man dressed as someone of high authority approached the vehicle, he forcefully tapped on the drivers window. "Yes?" tension between this man struck Claude "um is there a problem, sir?". The man opened the drivers side door and made Claude get out. Once outside of the car, Claude realised this man was no 'sir'. Within a few minutes Claude found himself covered in blood, the man had attacked Claude from behind - Claude felt like he was losing his identity, it wasn't like Claude to be weak but why couldn't he get up and why couldn't he fight back? Who is this guy? his strength is like a demons.
From the back of the car, Alex and Finnian were holding each other and screaming. Alex was becoming to much for Finnian to hold onto and she left his grip and ran over to her father who had blood pouring out of his mouth. She sat by him as the man seemed as if he was 'finished' with Claude, the man then walked over to the car where Finnian was. Finnian screamed "DADDY! Please save me". Alex was confused 'daddy?' but she tried her hardest to push the man away from her brother. The man fell to the ground and army crawled to his car - he sped off.
The next thing for Alex to do would be to call an ambulance for her father and then find out what made Finny scream for 'daddy'
