Six Minutes to Freedom
“The extra guards had arrivedwithout him knowing, and their reaction as he came bolting out of his closet—raising their slung rifles to their shoulders, ready to fire—convinced him to break off his charge early. In the process, he saved his own life.

Outside,in the main room, two guards positioned themselves just outside his door and stayed there. The general consen...sus, from what Kurt could glean from overheard conversation, was that he was cracking under the pressure of confinement.
