Chapter Eleven

That night Indy searched around his cell for away to escape. Just as he was testing the bared window he heard footsteps.

Suddenly the cell door opened and a dish of food floated through and landed on the floor.

Indy stared at it in amazement. The door closed again as Indy stared into space for a moment trying to think of a reasonable explanation for the floating food. But there wasn't one.

"This is getting to creepy foe me." He said and turned back to the window.

He yanked at each bar but none until the last one on the right side were loose. He worked at that one, twisting and turning it until he got it to pop out. When it fell out it left a space about two feet wide. "It might be a tight squeeze," he muttered, "but anything is better than Nazis and floating food."

He pulled that cot over than had been against the opposite wall and positioned it under the window. He stepped up on it and climbed through the opening. He took the bar that he had removed from the window with him to use as a weapon.

He stood up and pressed himself against a nearby wall of one of the buildings. As he looked around he saw that this was a storage facility. It was closed in by a ten foot high barbed wire fence and there were two tall towers guarding the gate. Each tower had a large search light mounted on it.

To his left was the wall of the prison he had been in and to his right was barbed wire fence. He had no idea what was around the corner of the wall he was pressed against but he decided to find out.

He peered around the corner. There was a huge gas tank and a small unguarded building. Indy carefully made his way to the small building making sure no one saw him as he slipped inside.

The building was full of dynamite, extra barbed wire and a pail of water. Indy picked up two sticks of dynamite and put them in his pocket.

He left the building and saw a Nazi guard standing about three yards away with his back to him.

Indy snuck up on him then hit him on the head with the bar from the window. The soldier fell to the ground and Indy took his gun and holster and buckled them on then searched the mans pockets.

"Yes! Just what I was looking for." He said as he found a lighter. He dropped it into his shirt pocket, stood up and rounded the next corner with his stolen gun drawn.

As luck would have it he ran right into another soldier. The man looked surprise so Indy pushed him over and ran to a garage type building.

The man got up quickly And ran away. "Bet he's gonna go tell his friends about me." Indy said as he opened the door to the garage.

Inside were jeeps, trucks, cars and even a tank. He hopped into a near by truck and was happy to find the keys already in the ignition. He started the truck then drove it right through the door. Just then some soldiers opened fire on him

The bullets bounced off, nicking the paint now and then. Indy drove toward the tanks of gas. More men were after him now but he stopped long enough to light one of the sticks of dynamite.

As he drove past the tank he threw the sparking explosive at it then pressed the accelerator to the floor and crashed through the front gate.

Behind him he heard the gas tank blow sky high, setting all of the buildings within 200 feet of it on fire.

As he drove on the ground was suddenly rocked by a second explosion which he knew could only be the fire finding its way into the shed that held the dynamite.

Suddenly Nazis appeared everywhere around him out of thin air. They all had on funny looking metal hats. He gunned the truck and got out of there as fast as he could, meanwhile being shot at from every possible direction.

When he got out on the open road he turned on the radio so he could hear what HQ was saying about his little escapade.

"He is headed west, toward the girl." One voice said.

"The prisoner is driving a green truck, Sir. Shall we set up road blocks?"

"Let him go," Indy heard Von Ran's voice command, "we have all the information from the girl anyway. And after we dispose of her at camp Brogan on Barry Lane tomorrow, then we will finally be rid of both of them."

Indy didn't notice how carefully Von Ran told the place and time. The only thing he cared about was that they were somehow going to kill Laura.

You see, Von Ran knew that Indy had an army truck and took a chance that he had probably turned the radio on and while driving was listening to every word they said. So he set his trap, hoping Indy would take the bait and come to camp Brogan. Just as Von Ran planned Indy was headed for that very place.
