Obeying orders

Amina falls to her death on Enchanted Rock just after witnessing the most beautiful sunrise of her life and after the only word she truly speaks: "Allah"

The others are shocked and begin to panic.  CF is panicking as well, but remembers that everyone needs to remain calm.  He begins to show erratic behavior and starts to act out like his battalion Sargent back in Iraq.  He orders the group to go wait an the restrooms while he calls the police.  He can tell that none of them want to get mixed up in this.  While they're waiting he decides to carry her body to the van.  He hot-wires the van and drives like a bat out of hell out of the park.  He fills the truck with gas and drives all the way to Lamesa to meet his father.  

The flashback of Iraq should be narrated as he drives to Lamesa.  Perhaps as if someone were watching him from a camera outside the car.

As he passes through Brady, he recalls the event that traumatized him.  His commanding officer's name was Brady and he was the one who ordered him to bury the body of the girl.
