She stood in the middle of a group of blonde girls (one‚ I assume is actually a brunette) and was surrounded by a swarm of people‚ flocking

Puddles rippled as the rain dropped down. Lights were flickering on and off and traffic was slower than it was supposed to be. Cars were honking and people yelling. Boom! A lightning bolt went‚ scattering the birds sitting on top of the power line. They flew around in circles‚ but they didn’t just fly in circles anywhere they flew right on top of a wide long alleyway. The alleyway was lit up by the uncovered moon‚ drip drop‚ was all you could hear as it hits the ground‚ but if someone were to listen

It was a long trek from Greer’s crash site to the landmark that his computer had set for him.
