Episode 13 - McKenzie on the Run

McKenzie on the Run McKenzie grew increasingly more impatient as he waited for Maria to show. It was now well past their pre-arranged rendezvous time. Maybe their plot had been discovered. If so, it was inevitable that Don Pedro’s henchmen would extract all the details from her and they would now come for McKenzie. It would be safer for him to make his escape while he could but that would mean deserting Maria. As he pondered this dilemma, framed in the rear-view mirror, his is eye caught something shifting in the shadows. His instincts kicked-in and adrenalin exploded through his body. He threw himself out of the driver’s door and ducked behind a large commercial refuse bin that had been wheeled out from ‘La Gaviota’ just moments earlier for the nocturnal bin-men. A bullet ricocheted off the wall behind him. McKenzie, with lightning speed, gathered his thoughts. He positioned himself behind the large container and began to push it towards the assassins. There was a slight downward slope on the road that helped McKenzie’s barricade to gather momentum. The thick rubber bin easily absorbed the bullets that flew like hail in McKenzie’s direction. His shield came to an abrupt stop as it rammed into his assailants’ 4x4 Range Rover. McKenzie took off down an alleyway like a stealth bomber, silent and with great speed, into the darkness and into the unknown…. Psalm 124:6-8……Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. To find out more about this bible verse please go to ‘Free as a Bird‘: http://www.getthegist.net/
