<< 3 of 5 | INTRODUCTION: 4 of 5 | 5 of 5 >> [ THE EXCITING STUFF BEGINS IN CHAP 4 ] For some reason, as I rolled and started running back down towards the river, I remembered that old joke about the fall not being what killed ya, but that sudden stop at the end. That’s what really gets ya. It’s true, and I laughed then, but I wasn’t laughing now. Thirty-nine seconds, forty seconds, forty-one seconds. While I was jumping, or rather, falling to the ground, the cop had found his bullhorn and was trying to get the attention of some people nearer the riverbank. Two of them ran down closer, but the bag had already disappeared. At least he was trying, and that’s when I remembered seeing him somewhere before. I just couldn’t remember where, but that thought left me instantly. Forty-five seconds, forty-six seconds, forty-seven seconds. I should be getting tired, but something was pushing me to go even faster. Of course, it did help that the whole run and fall was mostly downhill. As I got closer to the river, I looked up to see where my car was and saw that the cop had turned on his flashing lights. Just ahead of that, I could see my car, and calculated from that where the bag had probably fallen. If my calcu- lations were correct, it not only made it into the river, but also wasn’t too far out to swim, and maybe I wasn’t too late, maybe. If, my calculations were once again correct. I was fucking with Lady Luck big time on this one. Fifty-eight seconds, fifty-nine seconds, one minute. There was only one way to find out, and on a dead run, dived in and swam as fast as I could to where I hoped the bag would be. One minute and ten seconds, one minute and eleven seconds, one minute and twelve seconds. I was almost ready to give up, when I spotted it and dived down, pray- ing to any God that would listen, and Lady Luck too. Please, please, don’t let me be too late. << 3 of 5 | INTRODUCTION: 4 of 5 | 5 of 5 >>
