I Am The Messenger (summer reading post one)

My book is I AM THE MESSENGER by Mark Zusak
The most major character in my book so far is Ed Kennedy. Ed is the main character in my story. He is a 19 year old cab driver. For a long time his life is boring. He has a small group of friends who likes to play cards. Really the only thing he has accomplished is partly stopping a bank robbery. Then one day he gets a card in the mail. Not a card from a store, a playing card. The card is the ace of diamond. The card has three addresses and three times on it. They read: 
45 Edgar Street, midnight
13 Harrison Avenue, 6 PM
6 Macedoni Street, 5:30 am.
Confused Ed tries to figure out what he is supposed to do.

After a few days of consideration Ed decides to go to the first address. What he finds there is shocking. He witnesses a rape case. He parks away from the house and sees a man. He is pushing and suffocating a screaming woman. He then rips her clothes off and pushes her in the door. This happens every day, for the past year. He is conflicted.
