Parking lot near Cathedral, after Evensong
Once the service was over the choiristers picked up their bags and dispersed. However, four of the older ones had a routine. They would all pile in one car and go for pizza then whoever was driving would drop the others off.
Lately, that nice little custom had been dropped. Parents were far too anxious to allow kids to hang around on the streets after dark so for the moment were picking them up as close to the back exit from the Vestry as they could manage.
Joey Styles parents were no exceptions. They were intensely proud of their son whose soaring boy soprano had now settled into a strong baritone and who was everything they could wish for in a son - loving, polite, god-fearing, determined to fulfil his dream of becoming a doctor.
As he approached across the parking lot, they thought nothing of it when Joey stumbled, before walking on more slowly.
He reached the car before he fell and even then it wasn't until they saw the blood that they realised what had happened.
