Murder On The Nickel Plate

DAY 9:

Ralph had a decision to make. He had been riding the Nickel Plate Road steam engine, when it suddenly stopped. With police swarming the area, he knew if they saw him they would take him into custody. He had eluded the law one too many times, and this time, he hadn’t counted on the cops being so close. So when he had the chance, Ralph jumped out and ran as fast as his legs would carry him in the opposite direction. But his hopes of disappearing had quickly faded, and his odds of survival had lessened with every passing second. He knew he had to find a plan B, and fast. His solution; to steal a car and drive towards the Indiana–Ohio border. Adrenaline kicking in, Ralph ran out of the nearby parking lot and grabbed the keys from a woman who had just left a nearby parking lot. Without much hesitation he jumped in the car and pressed the accelerator to the floor, taking the vehicle in a wild ride full of danger and turbulence, trying to get out of town as fast as his feet would take him. As the miles flew by, Ralph barely looked back. He had to make it in time, and this was his only chance. Sweat dripping from his forehead and a deadman’s grin on his face, he went beyond the speed limit in order to get away, hoping the police would never catch him. Ralph made it to the border just in time. With his exploits soon becoming folklore, Ralph had managed to escape the law once again in a daring and daring act that left onlookers believing he was invincible. The police were soon after him but he had been a step ahead by stealing a car and crossing state lines. Ralph had made a daring escape, but he would soon find out that his freedom wouldn’t last long…
