Slocum's Breakout
“He would die but only after taking Wilkinson with him.
He stepped forward, but Wilkinson looked past him. Slocum veered away, his knife still hidden. Wilkinson bellowed again for the new guard to come to him.
Slocum let out pent-up breath when the guard with the rifle from the prison wagon marched forward.
“What you doin’ violatin’ regulations?” Wilkinson bellowed so loud that both guards and prisoners milling about in the yard some distance away all turned to see what caused the ruckus.
“Don’t... rightly know what you mean, Sergeant,” the guard said.

He made several quick turns intended to keep him out of Wilkinson’s line of sight, though he knew he attracted some attention because of his shoddy uniform.MoreLess
