Jane emerged from the Salubria Prison Compound, clutching her torn white blouse around her breasts. She ducked into the shadow of a palm and glanced quickly around. Her heart thumped wildly.
Had she been seen? No! There was still time. But she would have to hurry. She began to run, skirting the gymnasium and Doctor Troy’s office, then headed for the edge of the jungle, her blonde hair streaming behind her.
“Stop!” She heard the man’s commanding voice ring out and saw his hulking shadow. Wild with fear, she pivoted and changed direction, but she knew it was hopeless. It was the gigantic black-skinned guard, rushing toward her. She could hear his harsh, labored breathing and the crunch of his heavy footfalls. He was close, terribly close! Her escape try was finished!
“Hah! You no go nowhere, missy!” She heard him snarl as he bore her to the ground with a bone-jarring tackle.
