When Hal knocked down Marina I had no idea what was going on. I couldn’t understand what was wrong with Hal. Hal pushes me into the humbvie saying that I’m driving. I try to get through to Hal. “Hal! What’s going on! Damn it! Tell me what’s going on!” The hard exterior on Hal starts to fade for a minute. Dad. I can’t They won’t let me,” Hal manages to get out.
I don’t know what’s going to happen when the shooting starts. How am I supposed to save my son now. Everyone will think of him as a traitor. I know that Hal is still in there fighting. I’ve known all along that Hal was a fighter. Because of the excessive shooting Hal flips the humbvie when he hits something, probably a rock. I am stunned when it flips and even more when Hal begins to pull at me to pull me out of the humbvie. A thought goes through my mind, this isn’t my son anymore.
Weaver, Maggie and the other soldiers approach the flipped humbvie. “Don’t even think about it!” Hal yells as he pulls me to my feet and fired his handgun, 2 warning shots. Weaver is shocked. I can tell this for sure. “Or I’ll kill him,” Escapes Hal’s mouth, and I can see the confused look on Weaver is showing. All that Weaver can manage out is a simple answer in disbelief, “Hal.” I yell fearing they’ll hurt Hal, “Put your guns down, now! Damn it that’s an order.” Hal begins to pull me out of the area and around the corner. Hal pulls me into an abandoned apartment.
