...as agent Maxwell slipped, Billie Bob rushed at him. Those damned standard issue loafers the agents wore had no traction and Maxwell's feet went airborne. Billie bob reached him just as his back struck the hard, yet slippery clay. His arms and legs all pointing skyward he helplessly watch her leap over him, kicking his 9mm Beretta out of reach. By the time he'd rolled over, clutching his wrist, trying to catch the wind forced from him by the impact, agent Maxwell watched the fugitives hop into his gov't issue SUV and tear off down the road...

Leaving agent Maxwell desperately reaching for his phone.

 

[Uncle]

As he watched Chrissy looking out the back window shrugging.

(Storyline update: I guess everyone forgot Chrissy was with Agent Maxwell - and that she was in the SUV to help him. Also that Shane was actually trying to get away from Billie Bob, since Agent Maxwell knew that Shane really had nothing to do with Billie Bob robbing the bank.)

Agent Maxwell, hurt and in pain got his cell phone and unfortunately had no reception bars. Stranded hurt and desperate he knew he must try to find a passer by driving down the road to assist him.

Just then Maxwell saw a big 18 wheeler heading down the road in his direction..

 

[FranC]

He stood in the road in the trucks path holding his badge in front of him.

 

[djezewski]

An old white Buick Park Ave slowed down and pulled to the side of the lonely road. The woman behind the wheel had stark long white hair. Her face was sunk in and withdrawn and time was definitely not on her side. Years of unpleasantness showed in her stamina as she crouched over the leather covered steering wheel.

 

[clnire]

"You need help sonny boy?" she asked Maxwell.

 

[djezewski]

"Yes, Mame I need your car in pursuit of some dangerous fugitives that have stolen my vehicle". He flashes his shiny badge and asks her to kindly get in the backseat. "You may be in for one hell of a ride" he exclaims. "I can't leave you stranded out here alone and this is official business"

 

[FranC]

Then he hit the gas and headed out in pursuit.

 

[djezewski]

"I am Miss Agnes Crawford" She rambled on a bit. Going back to her youth in the 50's when you used to watch drag races. "Oh how exciting" she said. "This brings back some memories" All the while Agent Maxwell kept driving not paying attention to any of her stories.

Shane was so relieved to see the agent that he bolted straight for him, waving his hand high to show he was unarmed. As he closed he could see... no... what's she doing here? The one person he most wanted to see, his darling Chrissy was in the big black gov't SUV. Shane couldn't help himself but to veer toward the ominous looking Escalade that bore to him his salvation. Somehow, just as he was about to throw open the passenger door, Billie Bob was bolting past. As the passenger door opened and the arms of his beloved circled his shoulders, Billie Bob was in the driver's seat and smashing the shifter arm into gear. As the lovers reunited in their vise like embrace, Billie Bob tramped the gas pedal and as Shane held on for dear life to his love, who was still belted into the front seat, the monsterous ebony Cadillac tore on down the road...

 

[clnire]

Oh nooooooooo!

 

[FranC]

Thought agent Maxwell as he tore after them

 

[grad2003amd]

"I absolutely hate it when people decide to run. It never ends well!" said the agent

 

[FranC]

All the while he's dreaded the outcome knowing Shane is innocent.

 

[grad2003amd]

While chasing after them, the agent notices a lot of dirt being kicked up in front of him. A hundred or so yards ahead of him he saw the car Billie Bob was driving was in a ditch!

 

[FranC]

Agent Maxwell slowly pulls over keeping well back from the car.

 

[somejerk]

the agent squinted his eyes to focus his vision... he saw movement.. shane was climbing out of the car urging the officer to proceed onto the site. Maxwell ran to the driver door and found an unconscious (soon to be felon) billie bob.

 

[FranC]

He proceeded to handcuff him quickly and then got Shane and Chrissy into the other car and called for help.
