"April, stop! Don’t open the door!" he screamed, and flung himself across the intervening space toward the girl.

April had inserted the key in the door lock and turned it, and just as Joe reached her, she depressed the button and opened the door. Desperately, Joe grabbed her from behind and pulled her straight backwards so that she landed on top of him, his body cushioning hers from contact with the pavement. Pain radiated through him at the impact, but he managed to roll to the side, away from the vehicle.

"Joe! What are you doing?" April shrieked. "Have you gone nuts?"

Joe didn’t bother answering her; he was too busy trying to scoot and slither further away from the Neon. Two seconds…three…four…and then there came the sound of a tremendous explosion….
