The day after, is a totally burned body found on the same road. A young good looking female police officer has to deal with the mystery. The forensic doctor says "it must have been the lightning". But somehow does the boy feel that's all wrong. And the young police officer is suspicious as well. And after have talked with the boy, she decides that the boy and his possible dad must stay in the village, for a few days.
