Eddie Macon's Run Page #2

---

Four more years of taking orders?

Busting my back for somebody else is just that

boat was our ticket out of here you know that.

It's gonna work out.

We came so close.

Eddie, we're gonna make it.

We just need time.

I love you.

Sit down relax Banes.

Lie to me once and I take

your freaking head off.

Yes, Sir.

I mean, no Sir, boss.

Doesn't it seem kind of funny that a kid

like Macon all of a sudden saddles for Rodeo.

I haven't really thought about it.

How long has he been planning this

break?

Beats me, I'm mostly try

to mind my own business.

Get up!

Answer me straight or you

piss blood for a month.

I forgot the question boss.

You know Macon's was gonna run.

I swear to God I didn't know boss,

he didn't tell me nothing.

If he did I would have gone direct to the...

Sergeant.

I believe you.

Did he have any hobbies?

Hobbies?

Anything unusual?

The library.

He went there a lot.

Running.

He ran all the time, every day, every chance.

Is that your mural there?

That there, yes Sir.

That's Macon's.

Yes Sir.

That one right there.

Truth is I never really

liked him all that much.

Always a cry baby and I'm

about how he didn't belong here.

Seems to me that after 3 years

you learn to take it like a man.

When's the last time he had a visitor?

His old lady.

Never missed a visiting day.

Except in the last week.

Maybe she run out on him.

Maybe that's why he took off.

What do you think boss?

I think you're an a**hole.

Yes, sure, boss.

Flowers, animals, birds, survival

manuals, anything about the desert.

And maps. Good God, he's

stared at them for hours.

I think he even took a few back

to the cell to jerk off over.

Well, I'll bring you back in a

couple of days. Take your time.

Drop by if there's anything

else you need Mr. Marzack.

With Bobby being sick and all the doctor bills there

just doesn't seem to be any choice but to move to Texas.

Texas.

That's a big move Eddie.

Yeah I know that it is Mr. Bishop, but...

According to the newspaper ad

the oil company pay is great.

And there's a lot of overtime.

I need the money and if I work 612 hour days I

can make maybe three times what I make here.

Then I guess you'll strike oil

and all your troubles be over.

You think I'm being foolish don't you?

You're optimistic.

Sure hate to lose you Eddie.

I'm going to miss you.

Macon, Edward J. Yes Sir.

Just sign on the

bottom there. You got it.

Excuse me, there seems to be a mistake here.

What's that?

Well you are about S200 shy, aren't you?

It says right there loan deduction S200.

Loan deduction?

Mister, I didn't borrow any money.

Look.

I just work here.

You got a problem see Mr Hebert.

Yeah it's open.
