The Fear of 13 Page #4

to the cubicle and I go in

and the door is being held

open by the taller officer.

And he stands there

while I urinate and watches me.

I'm peeing,

I'm minding my own business,

I'm thinking about getting

back into that warm-ass car.

It's freezing, I turn, I look up,

he's got his hand up,

I put my head under his arm

and I make a left turn

to go back to the car.

What I did not know is that the

officer who was driving

went back to the car and waited.

I came out of the cubicle

and started trotting towards him.

He looked past me

and he didn't see his partner.

He doesn't know

if I've killed his partner or not.

He just knew he was seeing

a death row prisoner

running at him unescorted.

That's when he pulled his gun.

When he did that motion of sticking

his hand on his hip and pulling

the weapon from the holster,

I just turned and started running.

He fired that weapon and it was

like this huge percussion.

GUNSHO At 2,700 feet per second,

that bullet went past my ear

and so did anything else that

I was looking behind me for.

I went down and I hit the ground

and ripped all of the skin on my

hands and it's just like... Oooh!

Then they started

this attitude, you know,

"That's it.

I'm going to do what I got to do. "

So I just got up and I ran towards

the big plate-glass window

of the restaurant next door.

I figured if I'm running directly

at the window, he can't shoot me.

I ran about 100 yards

across the road and I circled back.

And I came right back

to where I had escaped.

Now, I'm looking at them as

they're yelling at each other

who was the bigger idiot for letting

this happen and then I hear them.

POLICE SIRENS:

All the sirens

in the world are coming.

There was cars

coming from everywhere.

They had an escaped

death row prisoner alert.

They pulled out all the stops.

So I took my eye glasses off,

pulled the plastic off the end

of the eyeglasses and I stuck

the eyeglass pin into the handcuffs

and I picked the handcuffs.

I could see the buildings off to

my right and one of them had a flag.

That's a police station.

I said, man, I'm going

to hide behind the police station.

So I navigated down

behind this alleyway

and I got down in this recessed

area and I just huddle

and I just waited.

I was so cold.

When I lost my core temperature

like an hour later, I was shivering.

I was like, oh my God,

this is killing me.

I was going into these bends.

It was hurting.

My ribs were aching from going into

these convulsions like that.

So I was hurting so bad.

I'm going to get up

and get out of here.

I came flying out of that

parking lot and they saw me.
