Not far away, Romeo had also reached his limit. He had given it everything he had and made it to within eight miles of the finish line, but he knew he would never make it there in time. His back was a nest of knotted muscles, while his legs felt boneless and weak.

And without the watch, for all he knew he had already lost. And yet, he didn’t think so, the sun had risen hours ago, but it wasn’t yet high enough to be noon.

Romeo was at the final water stop and savoring the last of the gallon of cool refreshment Spenser had left for him. Thinking of Spenser reminded Romeo of the note Spenser had given him.

He took the folded envelope from his pocket and found that it was wet from his perspiration. After carefully freeing the note inside, he read it.

It didn’t take long to do. There were only three words written on the note. They were in the middle of the page in capital letters.

I KNEW IT.

“What?” Romeo said. “He knew it. Knew what?”

Was Spenser telling me that he knew I would fail? No, he’s not like that… or is he? Romeo thought.

No, Spenser and he were tight, friends, and he loved the guy, but then, why did he write those words?

I KNEW IT.

Romeo thought about the eight miles that separated him from victory, then looked at his wrist, only to curse when he saw the bare flesh where his watch should be.

That damn sinkhole is why I won’t finish. If not for that I would have had enough time and energy to complete the race.

A memory came to Romeo of something Spenser was always saying.

“You can have two things in this world,” Spenser said. “Reasons or results, and reasons don’t count.”

Romeo forced himself to stand while moaning from the pain in his back. The thought of walking a hundred feet seemed a Herculean effort, much less to run eight more miles. And the eight was only a guess; it could just as easily be as much as ten miles.

Is there even enough time left?

I KNEW IT.

I KNEW IT.

I KNEW IT.

I KNEW IT.

Romeo looked down at the note in his hand, then balled it up and threw it away.

“You don’t know me!”

He took off slow, then gained speed, determined not to stop for anything short of death.
