It’s a funny thing, how opportunity can rise up when needed, whether you are prepared or not.

About twenty minutes later, Ricky came out of the garage, yelling he was going to check on the guest of honor. When he started around the garage, Danny knew he was going to the tool shed.

As soon as he had been found to have escaped, all hell was going to break loose and he needed to be ready for anything. What he was going to do, he had no idea, but this was going to be his best shot.

It only took about ten minutes for Ricky to start yelling from somewhere up on the hill behind the hotel.

"Zeke! He’s gone!"

Zeke and Cal came out of the garage and looked up toward the hill.

"He’s gone, Zeke!" came the alarm again.

"Shit!" yelled Zeke. Then he pointed at the door to the motel and told Cal to stand guard.

As Zeke headed around the garage, Danny couldn’t miss the gun in his hand. He was on a dead run around the garage and Danny realized he wouldn’t have more than a few minutes before Zeke would reach the shed.

Looking down the hill, he saw Cal walk to the end of the sidewalk in front of the rooms, where he could look over a short wall and up the hill. Peaches came waddling down the walk to where Cal was standing.

"What the hell are those two fools yelling about?"

"It sounds like whoever they had up in the shed has escaped."

Danny caught a glimpse of Zeke running up into the trees and then he disappeared. He realized this was the break he was looking for and he needed to move fast.

He ran a few yards to the west so his approach to the road would be blocked by the garage. Sprinting across the road, he had the crowbar firmly in his hands and he ran to the corner.

Looking around the corner, Peaches and Cal were still standing at the wall, looking up the hill, wondering what kind of mess was being stirred up by their escaped captive.

Danny moved out from around the garage as quietly as he could and started making his way toward the two. He only had about ten yards to cover and he was thankful that the only grass that seemed to be in the area covered the short stretch between him and the two.

He moved as quickly, but also as quietly as he could. His approach was being masked by the two of them talking and they never heard him coming. When he was just a couple of steps from them, he brought the crowbar up and lunged forward, stabbing the chiseled end of the cold steel into the back of Cal, driving it as hard as he could completely through the thin man’s body. Cal just folded like a newspaper, dropping to the ground, most likely dead before his face hit the concrete.

Peaches swung around and Danny found out he still couldn’t kill a woman. No matter how evil she might be, he couldn’t kill her.
