The story

While the train is moving a security guard notices the pair, chases after them, and tries to get them off by hitting Scratch with his flashlight.

During the melee, Alex hits him with his skateboard and the guard, losing balance, falls onto another track into the path of an oncoming freight train which cuts him in half.

Alex is later questioned at school by Detective Richard Lu, as are several other students who had been skateboarding on the night in question.
