Sheridan approaches, convincing him that he has seen the child's Popsy (as the boy calls him). After luring him into the van, Sheridan handcuffs him and drives off to make his delivery. On his way to the drop-off point, the boy shows unusual strength, biting Sheridan hard enough to leave two deep marks on his hand, as well as nearly ripping out the steel bar he is handcuffed to.The boy makes odd comments about his Popsy, such as his ability to find him and his ability to fly. By the time they are nearing their destination, night has fallen. Sheridan sees a man shaped figure in the middle of the road causing him to swerve out of control. The boy claims this is his Popsy, and although Sheridan doesn't immediately believe it, he becomes nervous. Moments later the door is ripped off and the battle for survival begins.
