JOHNS POV

"No charge."

My anger wouldn't rise any higher. I grabbed his collar with my left hand and punched his nose upwards with my right. I let him go and he stumbled onto the wheel eyes still open but clearly knocked out. So much for knowing where he is. A noise caught my attention. It came from the passenger seat of the cab. I opened the door and a large box was set under the seat. There was something inside, something living, but there was no air holes. The box was made of metal which could be easily opened. My fingers met the crack of the opening and pulled hard. I nearly fainted when I saw what was inside.

I reached for my phone and called an ambulance.
