“Then what happened?” Sanford pressed.
“Do you remember? How did you end up in the hands of the Green Gang?”
Brian took a moment to recall.
“After I drove into the sea, I managed to escape the car.
But then a storm hit.
The waves must have carried me ashore.
When I woke up, I was on a beach.
I tried to find someone to ask for help, but I had terrible luck.
