Chapter 8 - Richard Escapes Into The Georgia Pine Forest Night
Inside the chapel, while deputies were distracted filling out initial incident reports, Richard made his desperate gamble.
He kicked backward into the knee of the younger deputy, breaking free from his grip with a sudden surge of adrenaline.
Before anyone could react, Richard bolted out the side emergency exit doors toward the dense perimeter of pine trees.
“Stop right there! State law enforcement!” shouted the deputy, sprinting out the door with his taser drawn and ready.
Richard scrambled down an embankment, his expensive leather shoes slipping against the muddy red clay of the ravine.
He vanished into the thick, shadowy underbrush of the Georgia woods before the patrol units could set up a perimeter.
