Claire pushed the car open before she hurried out of the car with an umbrella in hand. 5
Charlie rushed after Claire as soon as he saw her getting out of the car.
"What happened, Loreen?"
Claire asked as soon as she rushed over to Loreen.
"Claire? What are you doing here?" Loreen asked as soon as she saw Claire. She was trembling because she was drenched from the heavy rain.
She looked extremely surprised and embarrassed, as though she did not want her best friend to see her in such an awkward manner. 1
Claire held the umbrella over Loreen's head and she quickly replied, "I happened to pass by this road with Charlie when I saw you by the side of the road. What happened to you?"
Loreen quickly replied with an annoyed expression on her face, "Let's not talk about it anymore! My company sent me out on an errand today and they gave me a car to do so. That’s the reason why I drove out to meet the customer in this care today. However, even before I could meet up with the customer, I realized that I had punctured my car tyres! Moreover, it wasn't only one tyre that was punctured, but two! I'm so annoyed right now!" 6
Charlie felt a little puzzled at this time. 1
It was normal to experience a flat tyre when driving. 3
However, under any normal circumstances, a flat tyre would only occur when sharp objects such as a nail or iron wires accidentally pierce the tyre. Therefore, generally only one of the tyres would be punctured. 2
It seemed a little suspicious that both sides of the tyres were punctured at the same time.
Therefore, at this time, Charlie simply said to Loreen, " The rain is getting heavier and heavier. It isn't safe for you to stay out here alone. I think it’s best for you to leave your car here and hitch a ride back to the city with us first. We’ll call for help to fix your car once the rain stops.” 6
Loreen nodded before she sighed and said, "I guess that’s my best option now."
As Charlie was leading them back to the car, Charlie suddenly heard the sound of something breaking through the sky in a very swift manner.
At this time, Charlie also saw a silver light bursting through the sky in the heavy rain! 4
Moreover, this silver light was coming straight at
Loreen! 1
