MAP OF AMERICA:

A red line travels from Wichita to Oklahoma.

KELLY HOUGE (V.O.)

From there the brothers traveled

from Kansas through Oklahoma...

The red line enters Texas and the camera moves into Texas.

KELLY HOUGE (V.O.)

...into the great state of Texas,

and then finally...

WE ZOOM in on a red-circled Abilene.

KELLY HOUGE (V.O.)

...into Abilene.

We hear GUNFIRE and SCREAMS.

KELLY TO CAMERA:

KELLY HOUGE:

Heading the case to bring these

fugitives to justice is FBI agent

Stanley Chase. We talked with agent

Chase earlier this afternoon.

CUT TO:

VIDEO INTERVIEW:

Kelly Houge interviewing STANLEY CHASE of the FBI.

STANLEY CHASE:

For the time being we are very

confident we will apprehend the

fugitives in the next forty-eight

hours. The Bureau, local law

enforcement and the Texas Rangers

have all joined forces in forming a

dragnet to snare Seth and Richard

Gecko.

KELLY HOUGE:

Agent Chase, does it appear that

they are heading for Mexico.

STANLEY CHASE:

Yes, it does, Kelly. We have already

alerted the Mexican authorities.

They intend to cooperate every way

possible in bringing these fugitives

to justice.

KELLY HOUGE:

Are you optimistic about the safety

of the hostage they took in Abilene,

Gloria Hill?

STANLEY CHASE:

We've received no news one way or

the other. We can only hope for the

best.

KELLY HOUGE:

What about the report from an

eyewitness at the liquor store who

said one of the brothers was shot?

STANLEY CHASE:

This can't be confirmed at this time,

but we do believe it to be true. We

have reason to believe it was the

youngest brother Richard, and he was

shot in the vicinity of his neck and

shoulders by the store's clerk.
