Chapter 10: The Thugs
The shock lasted only a second. Adam pushed aside all his doubts and questions.
He ran towards Philips.
The sight of his class monitor a boy he saw every day in school holding a murder weapon had shattered his understanding of the world. But there was no time for confusion.
There was only the enemy in front of him.
Philips was still on the ground dazed from the crash.
He pushed himself to a sitting position.
He looked towards the river seeing the car disappearing beneath the dark water. The realization that he was stranded was just beginning to sink in.
James was gone. The car was gone. His escape was gone.
"Philips!"
The name shouted made him turn. As he did he saw something dark flying through the air towards him.
It was Adam’s knife. It hit him squarely in the shoulder its sharp point digging deep.
