“Kid, get out of the way,” Rafe yelled. “You’re going to be in the line of fire.”
The police department was chasing a criminal who had escaped from the medium security prison outside of town. This young kid had just climbed to the top of a wall the policeman feared the criminal would try jumping over. The police were stationed at strategic points below the wall.
“You’re chasing Ryder, right? I have something to tell you,” the kid cried out.
The police looked at each other, not knowing what to make of that. One of them asked the kid what he was talking about. The kid was only about 15 years old.
The police officer said, “What are you referring to?”
“He’s not the only one at fault. He’s my friend and I helped him rob those houses. Please don’t hurt him.”
As the kid climbed down the walls toward the officers, Ryder jumped over the wall and shots rang out.

Oh dear, it didn’t end well for Ryder. That is really sad! Great story, Rosemary!
