I went over to where Eric lay on his back, his nose bloody Hewheel when the van rolled

"Eric, what the fuck were you thinking?"

I knelt down beside hiroaned and held a hand up to his nose, which was probably broken He didn't meet my eyes, but I could smell the alcohol from where I knelt

He stunk of it

A few cars stopped and good Samaritans came down the embankment to check us out and offer help One woman was a nurse and she looked Eric over while aited for the police and a in his eyes and speaking with hi whether he knehat day it was, and where he was

"It's fucking Thursday, all right?" Eric said "We're in the fucking ditch That'slife"

Eric finally ust

"You ran us off the road, Eric I could have you charged for attempted murder"

"Go fucking ahead," he said and held a tissue against his nose "Might as well go to jail, seeing as my life is over"

"You did this to yourself You had a beautiful wife and child and it wasn't enough for you You had to fuck around on her"

We heard the wail of an approaching siren and that cut off whatever curse-laden response he was going to throw at me

I spent the next fifteento the police officer who arrived at the scene and took my statement

"What's going to happen to hiurney and loaded the gurney into the truck

"We're likely going to charge hies Your limo driver claims Mr Williamson deliberately ran you off the road"

"He did," I said, taking in a deep breath and re that moment when the van pushed us off the road "It was definitely deliberate He's holding a grudge against nant wife, ht on the street outside his hotel when I found hiht in jail, but were released after charges were dropped I should have known he'd try to retaliate in soht he was more mature than this"
