I thought my life was over, from the moment I shot CC's daughter, Aurelia.  Thinking long and hard about what I'd done, I took off down the road and went into hiding.  After a couple weeks of staying at a friends house a few miles away, I believed that returning home and facing the consequences of my actions would be better than running away like a coward.  Things went in a completely different route and I managed to witness a murder take place, and blew my cover.  The assailant heard me, and began charging towards me with his knife, so I took charge and managed to get the knife out of his hand. 

A few short days later, after confronting my parents, and Aurelia's parents... I get grounded, but I can still drive to school.  On the way there the next morning, the assailant whom I witnessed kill someone is right on my bumper. We begin having a high speed chase, and heading down a long stretch of highway, I see a sharp curve coming up and see the ocean to my right. I get a crazy idea in my head and zoom forward with my foot on the accelerator.  I floor it, and hit the barrier full speed ahead; plowing into the watery depths of the ocean,  but not before I undo my seat belt, and kick out the window to my car.  My car lands with a loud splash, and I narrowly escape from the vehicle and hold my breath underwater. 

I briefly pop my head up from the water once I am out of sight from my perpetrator, and glance around a rock formation to see if they're still there.  Once they're gone, I head for shore and collapse, completely exhausted and worn out.  Before blacking out, I look up and see a woman and man who appear to be wearing government badges, and she asks her partner to pick me up and put me in the vehicle... my life's about to take an unexpected turn and there's nothing I can do to stop it.
