THIRD PERSON

"It's coming! Get ready!" Nick urgently whispers while sprinting toward Clay and George.
Clay shifts his gaze to George on his left, nodding in silent agreement. Fear is evident in both their eyes. The blonde tightly grips the straps of his backpack and then glances at Nick, who's focused on the approaching train, preparing to make the leap onto it.
As the train draws nearer, the pounding of their hearts grows louder and more intense.
Before they realize it, Nick makes a sprint for the train and propels himself upward. With adrenaline coursing through his veins, Clay follows suit, dashing toward the train, and firmly gripping it, hauling himself up.
George rushes toward the train, attempting to hoist himself up, but exhaustion takes its toll. Nick reaches out, firmly gripping his hand, and with a determined pull, he hauls George onto the wagon. It's a cargo train, and they leap into an open wagon, which fortunately doesn't have a lot of boxes.
They settle down, and the only sounds are the rhythmic clatter of the train and their labored breathing. Nick begins to laugh, and it's contagious as the other two join in, their laughter blending with the train's steady rhythm.
They did it.
"We're going to the motherfucking Florida!" Nick shouts, his face beaming with a wide grin.
George looks at his happy friend with amazement, cherishing the moment. They all imagine living together in a house in Florida, away from Pablo's reach.
"Wooooooo!" George shouts at the top of his lungs, caught up in the excitement.
"We did it!" Clay yells, and the feeling of freedom washes over them, exhilarating and sweet.
They did it.
But they all seem to think that once they reach Florida, the past will somehow fade away, and they'll instantly have a better life...
