He had to get out
Looking through the bars dividing the front and back of the car, he saw the officer’s radio. There was no way he could ever reach the radio while handcuffed, so Daryl had to think of a way to get out of them first.
“Help!” he yelled at every passing car, but no one could hear him. The car was slowly heating up, and Daryl could feel sweat forming on his forehead.
