and Myles is still in the cab but cant get out because its
driving too fast.

CAB DRIVER
there’s other ways that you can pay
the cab driver then gets out of the cab and shuts his door
but Myles sees that the keys are still in the car, Myles
then sees him walk round the cab to the boot of the car. he
then sees the driver open the car boot and grab a large
object.

cab driver has a baton

car door is left open

him with the baton resting on his head.

sound of a zipper going down.

suddenly looks up and sees George at the steering wheel of
the cab and the man runs over.
