He signals his men to come with him. They get into theSuburban. Whereupon we FIND... 226 UNDER SUBURBAN 226 Gordy's hanging onto the chassis. With the large tiresand high ground-clearance, there's just enough room toget his legs over the rear axle. He's just finishingrigging up a rope he took from the store room -- therope's slung from one side of the chassis to the other, to support Gordy's back. He hears the ENGINE START, grabs the transfer case, and... 85. The rear DRIVE SHAFT WHIRS madly, inches from Gordy'sface. And, with each bump in the road, even with heavy- duty off-road shocks and springs, the undercarriage ofthe Suburban comes within inches of crushing Gordy'slegs. ROCKS are PINGING everywhere. The dirt and the dust are choking. Even for a short distance, it's goingto be a long, dangerous ride. A vicious jolt suddenly loosens a grenade. It starts to slip free. Gordy can't stop it without letting go. The grenade falls, and... Gordy shoots out a hand and grabs it. Barely. The spoonjust hanging on the end of his fingertips. Gordy can'tuse his other hand to get it. He needs the hand to hold onto the car. The grenade begins to slip. He's going tolose it. And just as it falls... Gordy does the only thing left. He slips a fingerthrough the loops of the grenade pin. Just barely snagsthe grenade before it drops to the road. And then... Carefully, slowly -- praying that each bump doesn't jarthe grenade off the pin -- with his other arm shaking andscreaming in pain as he maintains a grip on the transfercase -- Gordy eases the grenade back onto his stomach, where he gets a better grip. Jams the grenade back. 232 GORDY 232 carefully lowers himself to the ground. Slides out on the side away from the house. Hides behind a largewheel. The brightly-lit house is surrounded by coconut trees. Gordy watches the guards. When the guards aren'tlooking, he runs to the nearest tree. The sounds of the SUBURBAN'S ENGINE covers his footsteps. The guard gets closer. Gordy inches around the tree. He can't get away without being seen. He nudges the coconutwith his toe. Nudges it harder, causing it slowly toroll away, and... The guard picks it up. Never sees Gordy in the shadow ofthe tree, pressed against the trunk. The guard shows thecoconut to a guard near the house, then walks back.
