Time was passing too quickly. Soon they would catch up to him. He glanced at his watch, it was getting dark and he couldn’t use the headlights or surely he would be caught, then ripped out of the vehicle, and only handcuffed if he was lucky. He had to laugh at that thought—lucky.

He swerved to the right and hit the dirt road in a flurry of dust. Then he saw his destination, the water and hopefully, the boat. It looked just like the image his accomplice had sent him in email.
Let me be “lucky” one more time he thought, and couldn’t keep a wry smile from his lips as he saw the vessel on the shore. Jumping out of the car and awkwardly running to the boat, he suddenly stopped.

The boat was there as promised, but up close he could see it was filling with water. The moon now out in full, he sank down in the sand, realizing he had been betrayed. As the police car’s colorful lights loomed up behind him, he could not help but laugh at the irony.
