I/E Gus’S Car – Day
J looks down the street. It’s empty. Gus puts the car in drive and moves off. J cranes
around to look out the back window, down the street. Then –
Crack. The car is clipped hard from the front. It spins wildly, then comes to a rest. Through the window J can see Pope behind the wheel of Darren’s car, undoing his seat belt. Pope’s car is jammed between Gus’s car and another parked in the street. Pope can’t open any doors – he’s trapped inside.
J clambers into the backseat, past Gus who is dazed, blood trickling down his forehead. J stumbles out the backdoor into the street. He looks back.
