The cop needed a paramedic, not Charlie. So, he reached out his hand and tried to touch someone who passed by, so he would hop into their body.
He ended up hopping into a college-aged girl, who was watching the paramedics trying to save the cop. A moment later, the sky flashed green a second time, locking Charlie in the girl's body.
"That's it," Larry said. "We lost him."
The paramedic across from him stood up. "Hey, get all these people out of here!"
Charlie stared down at the dead cop. The only reason he was dead was because of Charlie. If he hadn't hopped from Renee to the cop ... maybe he wouldn't be dead right now.
He turned away from the crime scene and walked away. And that's when he began to think. He thought about going after the guy that shot the cop. Charlie got a really good look at him. Maybe he could use these "abilities" for a good purpose. He just wished that they were a little more convenient. He never knew when the sky would turn and he never knew what color he was going to get when it did.
But it was still an advantage. Charlie could get this guy and make him pay for what he did.
