Jack works on freeing Desmond, though he can tell it's going to take longer than he thought. Some of the metal around the bolts is bent, making removing them difficult. Desmond moans, teetering on the edge of consciousness.<br/><br/>Rene stays near the rear of the car, her face a mask of pain and fear as she softly cries. She looks at Eric, and shakes her head. "No. It's not that I<em>didn't</em>see it. You<em>can't</em>see it," she said, pointing toward the front of the car.<br/><br/>Eric looks forward, and doesn't see anything on the road before the car. He walks forward to examine the hood when he slams into something hard, making him back pedal a few steps.<br/><br/>Eric puts his hands forward and feels a barrier there, something that feels like warm glass but is completely unseen. He runs his hands across the surface, and to the others he looks like a mime practicing his art, because there is nothing there, but there is.<br/><br/>"What are you doing?" Rachel asked, taking a few steps forward.<br/><br/>Eric can tell that the invisible barrier at least covers the road, and is obviously what the car hit. When he touches it, though, there is no visible indication that it exists.
