Chapter 12: The Incident

Todd POV

5:00pm
I woke with a pumping headache and veins where rocketing out of my arms. My neck was pulsating. The ground I was lying on was rough, I felt rocks stab my back. I slowly opened my eyes as my head was spinning. My vision was blurry but I could see a black coat over my body. My hands where covered in blood and there where papers scattered over the floor.

"TODD!" A voice shouted as i jumped and sat up quickly holding my head to stop it from spinning.

"Are you okay." Joe said kneeling down next to me.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, i thought it was your hallucinations again but you got violent, you where chanting different words and locations, well they sounded like locations. Then you started scratching on the walls, I didn't know how to stop you, I pushed your pressure point to make you pass out."

"How long?"

"What?"

"How long have I been out Joe?"

"About 3 hours." He replied

"And you don't remember any of it?"

"No...well...I remember seeing signs and a voice calling out for me but...that's all Joe I swear."

"Okay, i collected some more evidence, we better leave before they come back and carry on investigating."

Joe held his hand out, I grabbed it and he lifted me back up to my feet. He gave me some more pills to kill the pain of my shoulder from. He collected up the evidence and we got in the car. It was a long journey back to the hotel, and to be fair I just wanted to get back so we could look at the evidence and figure out what the hell was wrong with me.

6:00pm

Joe POV
We had been driving for an hour. We haven't really spoken. I think what's happened these past few days have just shocked us.

"You hungry." I asked Todd as he jumped a little, shocked he actually heard my voice.

"A bit."

" There's a cafe down the road from the hotel we can stop of there or call room service?"

"I'm not fussed." He replied twiddling with his fingers.

The silence clothed us again. I heard a growling noise. It was like an engine roaring. I saw bright lights piece my eyes as I looked in the rear view mirror.
A car eventually formed, it was big and bulky with dark windows. I watched it as its speed increased. The roaring engine got louder. Todd turned his head quickly to look behind us. The car raced around our car and shot ahead.

"IDIOT!" I screamed honking my horn as loud as I could.

"Road rage?" Todd whispered

"Shut up." I said staring at the car

"Yep road rage."

"SHUT UP TODD." I shouted hitting him over his head still staring at the car

"Dude what the..."

"TODD LOOK." I shouted again cutting him off and pointing at the car which had turned around was heading at us full speed. Our faces where stuck still.

"DRIVE JOE DRIVE." Todd screamed. I grabbed the gear stick and reversed.

"JOE,JOE." Todd yelled as the car fired its bullets.

"DUCK. DUCK!"

I spun the car around swerving. I lost control of the car as the car starting firing again.
