BTK Coming Attractions Part 3 http://www.poetrysoup.com/poems_poets/poem_detail.aspx?ID=195843 **************************************************************************** Billy the Kid's Great Escape (Continued) Billy entered the outhouse closing the door behind him. "Let's not take too long in there Kid," Bell said with a humorous grin. While in the outhouse Billy managed to slip one of his hands out of his handcuff. "You fall in there Kid," Bell laughed, "You've been in there long enough." "I'm coming out now Bell," Billy said opening the door. "Sorry I took so long Bell. I must have ate something bad for sure." Deputy Bell then escorted Billy back to the jail cell. Once inside, Billy spun around and smacked hard Deputy James Bell. Bell lost his balance, dropped his rifle and was momentarily stunned. "Hands Up Bell!," the Kid yelled. In his hand was a gun. "Please don't do it Bell," Billy pleaded, but Bell tried to run. The Kid had no choice but to do what had to be done. He shot and killed Bell, then went for Ollinger's shotgun. The Kid never found pleasure in killing, but Ollinger was indeed the exception. Knowing that Ollinger heard the gunfire, Billy stood by the window and waited for Ollinger to appear in the street down below. One senior named Godfrey saw Bell fall dead down the stairs. The moment probably gave Godfrey a few more grey hairs. Ollinger ran out into the street as Godfrey screamed, "The Kid's killed Bell!" Ollinger looked up into both barrels of his own shotgun and whispered, "Now he's killed me as well." **************************************************************************** To Continue Go To: 13.
