Interlude of the Prey

          One foot in front of the other.  Slowly.  Carefully.  Make no sound.  Breath lightly.  Don't let them hear.  Keep your balance.  Slowly.  Carefully.  Rrrruuunnn NOW!  Down toward the ravine at thunder pace.  Don't look back.  One foot in the water; one foot on opposite shore.  We WIN!

          no.

          I only have a decoy.  damn.  O.K.  Two of them, three of us. Correction:  Teammates captured and tied up in the barn.  Two of them, one of me.  Back into enemy territory.
