Christian is found guilty on the charges of murder and attempted murder, but he escapes from a prison van the following day and steals a gun from a police officer. He kidnaps Cheyenne from work and holds her hostage at gunpoint on a school bus. Christian forced Paul, the bus driver to drive over to the hospital where Brendan was working. Christian pistol-whipped Paul unconscious when he attempts to radio for help. When Christian demands that he wants to see Brendan, Cheyenne calls him and he is also held hostage on the bus. Christian later allows medical assistance for Paul and releases Cheyenne. After holding Brendan hostage on the bus until the evening hours, Christian lets Brendan go. Just as the police are about to arrest him, Christian commits suicide by shooting himself in the head.
