As agent Scott Lively drove his high performance sports car over the bend in the deserted country road, he could see the smoking wreck of a van. The driver must have just rolled his vehicle moments earlier.
Lively stopped the car suddenly, executing a controlled spin in a confident and effortless manner. A man of action, Lively jumped out of the car, the cold gunmetal of his long piece glinting in the sun from its holster. The van was on its side, with wisps of smoke coming from the engine. It was about to explode!
He could hear shouts for help from inside the van! "The back door is stuck! I can't get out!" exclaimed a panicked voice from inside the metal box. "Please help me open my back door!"
Agent Lively sprung into action, and ordered the man inside to push as he expertly pried open the back door with his strong fingers. After several minutes of strenuous effort, punctuated by loud grunts, the van's back door burst open.
A tall dark-haired man in his twenties stepped out, sweaty and dirty from his experience. Dressed in a deliveryman's uniform, the driver was bleeding slightly, and his buttoned up shirt was open, revealing a muscular hairless physique. The young man introduced himself as Abraham, and thanked the handsome bearded agent profusely as he crumpled to his knees outside in the fresh country air.
"This van's about to explode! We need to find cover immediately!" directed the agent, as he glanced at the rising flames coming from the front of the vehicle. "Come with me now!" he commanded to the young man. Lively grabbed Abraham in his strong arms and half-dragged him behind a large rock formation just as a loud explosion rocked the lonely country road!
When he looked up, he could see that his sports car had been damaged in the explosion. Agent Lively and Abraham would have to find help and shelter from the approaching night. He scanned the horizon and spotted a farmhouse in the distance. They would walk that way.
Stay tuned for Part 2!
