the weight of silence
when Antonia went back to the house to get a pillow for Ben and a few things for Calli. she had no idea that martin was waiting outside by her shed with a gun. but he wasn't going to to hurt Antonia, he was waiting for Griff to come. Antonia switched on the light that lights up the patio. she goes out the door and starts walking toward the woods. martin grabs her elbow and pulls her to him. he told her that he saw Griff at the tree line. they sit there and wait. they had no idea that Griff was behind them. he yells furiously at Antonia " your going to shoot me!". then martin tries to protect Antonia, but Griff grabs the gun. he pulls the trigger but it shoots toward the ground. then he hits martin in the head with it and grabs Antonia and takes off into the woods. when they get far in he puts her down. Antonia and Griff don't know that Louis is right behind him. when they get close one of his men shoots Griff because he has Antonia pined up against the tree. when Griff falls to the ground everything is silent. i can see martin sitting outside of the shed. i hear Antonia's voice, scared and nervous. when Griff comes up behind them, i can see and feel his anger. the anger in martins voice and eyes. the fear and anger in Antonia's face.
