Quicksand Page #7

Deputy Sheriff Alan P. Janus was

taken to the emergency hospital

with two bullets in his thigh.

I'll get it a little louder.

Closer to home, Beach City authorities

are seeking garage mechanic,

Daniel Brady, 26,

an employee of the Mackey Motor Company

Late yesterday evening, watchman

Michael J. O'Brien, while making

his regular nightly rounds, discovered

the unconscious body of Oren Mackey

President of the automobile agency

lying in his office.

Mackey regained consciousness at

St. Mark's Hospital

shortly after midnight and named Brady

as his assailant.

Then he's alive!

Tom, watch yourself if we run into

that kid. He's dangerous.

What's dangerous about him?

He's got Mackey's gun.

Hey, Buzz.

Buzz.

Wait a minute. I'm coming.

Who's this pulling in?

That might be our boy.

Let's take a look at him.

You there. Stop.

Hey, Brady.

Watch yourself.

Buzz.

Wait a minute.

Watch yourself, he's shooting.

I'll go after him. You stay on top.

I heard shooting!

Did you see him?

- No, he didn't come through here.

Look, what's that?

I'm coming, Dan.

It's all right.

You didn't kill him, Dan.

What's going on?

- What happened?

The cops. They shot a guy.

I heard about it on the radio.

- Heard about who?

The guy who killed a couple of cops.

I don't know but he shot somebody.

They got him.

Stand back, folks. Give him room.

guy that got shot right there

Where did you say you auto was?

On the pier right over there.

Put him in the car and I'll

drive him straight to the hospital.

If that's all right with you.

- Certainly.

Save much time instead of

waiting for the ambulance.

I wouldn't have shot you

only I thought you had a gun.

What did you do with it?

- I dropped it.

What do you think

they're going to give me?

Have you ever been in trouble before?

- No, no, never.

I think we can rule out the watch

and the twenty dollar bill.

They'll probably charge you

with the holdup,

stealing the car and breaking into

the penny arcade.

That could add up to anything from

one to ten years.

But since you're a first offender,

my guess is that it will be

nearer to one than ten.

Whatever it is, I'll take it.

Whatever it is,

I'll be waiting for you, Dan.

If you want me to.

You're a great gal, Helen.

I love you, Dan.

That goes both ways.
