Previously on Nathan's Journey, we witnessed just how cruel the police in this world is as the cop roughly interrogated George and as George was held at gun point he stayed loyal to his best friend and he paid the ultimate cost for it, now the police are after Nathan in hot pursuit of North Shore...
{It shows Nathan running through the streets of Lincoln in route to North Shore}
Nathan: I'm forced to go on foot since I'll get recognized on the bus!
{Nathan remembers his failed attempts and he's been on the run for the last hour. }
Nathan: I'm so close now! Just a couple more blocks!!
Then as he runs by a TV in a shop he sees the breaking news.
Nathan: what's the new update?
It cuts to the same report on the scene of Georges house.
The reporter watches in awe at the scene she found at the house as George's dead body lays with a bullet hole in his skull
"This is just despicable... Nathan Sanders strikes again... The police has confirmed that Nathan's DNA and remnants are here on the crime scene so it's implied that Nathan after he flead the scene he tried to come to his friends house, but it appears George was a kind soul and refused to be apart of this and Nathan... Didn't want him to snitch on him so he... Brutally took his own best friends life... Nathan truly is a psychotic man... He needs to be stopped before he kills anymore innocent lives. George was a kind man, we have a eye witness.
The reporter turns to the hooker that slept with George last night.
Reporter: So tell us your name and your side of the story.
The woman speaks her voice filled with fear as she's still shaking and her eyes are teary thinking of this painful moment.
"My name is Amanda Carter, I was with George last night... He was such a gentleman, he treated me like I was a princess, he never forced himself onto me he made me feel heard, and I wanted to stay with him... I wanted to quit being a prostitute and settle down with him, start a family and have our happy ending... He was my prince Charming... Then they took him away from me..."
As she beginning balling her eyes out crying.
The reporter takes over.
"As you can see George Williams will forever be remembered as a truly kind man. And we will stop at nothing until Justice is served for George and Emily... Nathan where ever you are... You can't run from the long arm of the law!!"
As it abruptly cuts out.
Nathan crying his eyes out at this realization.
Nathan : "that fucking cop... He killed him... George doesn't deserve any of this."
As Nathan slams his fist into the glass he promises.
"I will avenge you George... I won't let your sacrifice be in vain!!"
But before he could realize it , people started noticing , giving him the most disgusted and agitated glares until...
"Hey its him!!"
"It's the Murder!!"
"Nathan Sanders!!"
As a whole mob of feminist charge straight towards him surrounding him.
"Men like you shouldn't be allowed to live!!"
"Do you just see us as objects?!"
"I hope they lock you away and throw away the god damn Key!!"
The insults fall down like rain as they surround him there voices filled with hatred towards Nathan.
"Look listen it's not what it seems! I didn't kill anyone!!"
Nathan tried to plea his case but they refuse to listen, they only see him as a monster.
"You don't deserve to even breath the same air as us!!"
"We'll chop your manhood so that you can learn your lesson!!"
The insults turn violent as they intend to beat the living life out of Nathan.
"I'll prove it to you!! I did nothing!!"
His desperate words fall onto deaf ears as the women aren't listening to his side of the story.
"Outta my way!!"
As Nathan was left with no other choice but to run, he barely breaks through the crowd. And runs again.
"I'm becoming a track star with all this running!!"
He runs again not just from the police but from the whole world and their judging eyes.
"No one wants to hear my side of the story..."
He feels like the loneliest man on the planet. He stops under a bridge to catch his breath.
"I can't keep running like this... The club shouldn't be too far from here..."
He lays down , his breath ragged , his face drenched in sweat , his eyes show pure exhaustion.
"Here..."
A homeless man gives Nathan a bottle of water.
"Thank you..." He desperately drinks.
"Geez kid you look like you've been running a marathon."
Nathan chooses his words wisely...
"Um I was just running from getting robbed by some thugs."
Nathan couldn't lie to save his life.
"I know who you are Nathan Sanders..."
The homeless man clearly knows him.
"So you saw that TV's?"
"Well it's hard to miss with the cops running ramped and your the talk of the town."
"Look... It's not what it seems like okay I was framed. I didn't kill that poor girl."
Nathan says his words clear pleading his case.
"I knew from the moment I saw you, you didn't do it. If I knew you did I'd let you die of thirst."
"Finally!! Someone believes me!" Replied Nathan.
"Boy... I know exactly what you've been through, when I was your age I was framed for the murder of my father... It was a man... He owns the club down the street... I'm telling you... You don't want to mess with him... I'm warning you..."
This homeless man was also wronged by the world just like Nathan, now the innocent man is left with nothing.
"I don't want this to become my reality..." Nathan thought.
"Sir, do you know where Is NS pub?"
"You mean that club? Yeah it's down the street to the right. It'll be on your left, you can't miss it."
"Thank you sir! By the way I never got your name?"
"My name... That's been lost, I've been called a monster... A murderer, a broken man... But the only woman that I'll love , my mom, named me, Joseph Catling."
"It was nice meeting you Joseph."
"Oh please call me CJ" As the homeless man smiles , he pulls a gun out and points it to himself .
"Please Nathan... Prove your innocence, don't let HIM win..." As he is about to pull the trigger.
"Please don't do it!!" He desperately tries to stop him.
But before he could stop him CJ already pulls the trigger blasting a whole through his own brains.
"CJ... I won't let your pain... Your suffering, your kindness go to waste... Your dream of justice and a better tomorrow... Will live on through me!!"
He exclaims as his eyes well up as he holds CJ's lifeless body but he hears a police car racing right above him and he immediately.
"I have to get to the club right now!!"
Nathan washes the blood in the river next to him.
"CJ... I swear... I will make it out, the baton you've passed me will reach the finish line!!"
Nathan exclaims in his head, as he sprints.
It shows the imagery of Nathan running carrying a baton in hand.
But unfortunately...
"Hey is that Nathan Sanders?!"
"Why's his shirt covered in blood?!"
Everyone else assumes the worst as they uncover CJ's corpse.
"He just killed a homeless man!!"
"What!!"
"He truly is sick!!"
"Get him!!!"
As a hordes of people start rushing right after him Nathan is battling to keep pace ahead of them.
"It's not what it looks like!!"
Nathan's words hold no value to the mob of people, now Nathan is officially the enemy of the world.
"I can't keep up anymore!!" He thinks.
Nathan's feet are bruised and battered as he's been running for over 7 hours. Will he out run the crowd? Will he reach the club?
We will know that...
In the next chapter!!
