How had that driver not killed, or even hit, anyone? Brian was angry. He was angry at the driver. He was angry at himself. He hadn't yelled 2 at the driver. He hadn't called the police.

Tell them you saw a reckless 3 driver. Describe the car. Tell them what direction it was heading. They'll find the car. They'll get the driver."
