he yelled and slammed on the brakes. The road was too narrow to turn the car around, so he ran to the trunk. “Come on…where are you?” he impatiently asked as he looked for a flashlight. Julie was afraid to run too fast since she couldn’t see what was even two inches in front of her face. As she glanced back, she could see that Jason had stopped the car and was searching for something in the car’s trunk. She began to panic. Just as she turned back around, her foot hit something, sending her pummeling towards the ground. Julie could feel the skin on her knee and elbow had been rubbed raw from the contact with the ground. She couldn’t waste any time worrying about that, though. She quickly got to her feet and kept moving…only her ankle was sprained. It wasn’t so bad that she couldn’t apply pressure to it, but it did slow her down some. “You shouldn’t have done that!” Jason yelled as he shined the flashlight all around. His voice was filled with anger and frustration. He didn’t know where she had run to, and his flashlight wasn’t very powerful. Julie could hear Jason. He wasn’t that far away, but at least she could see his flashlight. He didn’t seem to know which way she had run. Her hope was that she could find a main road and get someone to stop for her before he caught up to her. Suddenly, Jason stopped yelling and his flashlight went off. Julie made a mad dash, thinking that was her chance to widen the gap between them. Jason listened closely after shutting off his flashlight. He had no idea where the woman had gone, but as he listened, he could hear the branches breaking beneath her feet. He took off in the direction of the sound, and then listened again. He could tell he was getting closer.
