This appears to be one of the chapters I wrote. I'm not exactly sure how I envisioned the execution of my heroic action, but I vaguely recall something similar happening in a Scooby-Doo cartoon. I wouldn't be surprised if we got lots of our inspiration from the TV shows we used to watch as kids - Scooby Doo, the Dukes of Hazzard, the Six Million Dollar Man, etc. Enjoy.
Chapter IV - The Rescue
Troy and
Brad quietly crawled over to Darin. Troy started untiing Darin
quickly while Brad told him to run and follow them. When the last
rope was untied, they made a break for it.
The two
crooks turned around and saw them. They started after the DTB Cousins
to get them.
Darin
was running behind Troy and Brad. One of the crooks got a hold of
Darin's arm and wouldn't let go. Darin struggled to get free from his
grasp. Finally, in his last attempt, he elbowed the crook in the
stumach and stomped on his
foot. He got free and ran around a curve in the tunnel.
The second crook was on their tail now. Troy had hid around the curve
and as the crook ran around it, he stuck out his foot. The crook bit
the dust and Troy took off fast again. He caught up with Brad and
Darin.
In a little while, they got to the stairway. They zoomed up the
stairs skipping every other one. They were going so fast that in no
time they were at the top in the closet of the old mansion. They
looked down the stairway and saw the crooks going up them faster than
they had ever seen. The DTB Cousins could tell they were mad.
Brad quickly picked up a rope and tied it to a rock jutting out of
the tunnel. As the crooks neared the top, Brad jumped through the
trap door and swung down, each foot smacking the crooks in the face.
He jerked to a stop and they watched the crooks tumbling down the
stairs head first. Then they ran out of the mansion and headed for
home.
