I tried to budge myself from the crumbled van that pinned me down. ???MICHELLE!!!??? I Screamed, hoping that she would somehow hear me and answer me. ???MICHELLE!!!!??? All of the sudden I heard a voice outside my window. The van was upside down and all I could see was a man lying on the ground reaching his hands in towards me.  He paused for a second, then continued to work his hands in through the window and around my neck. ???I???m Vic.??? He said back to me calmly as if my rage didn't even phase him. I stayed in silence. I was going numb from the pain and listened as the other men around him were yelling back and forth.
