The Runner from Ravenshead

- Can we go around them or do we have to go back?

Plan has changed.

They've got a prisoner.

- I assume that means you're going in?

Yep.

Let's get to work.

We,

we can't go in there!

We'll be massacred!

You don't know Henry.

He's a legend.

It's got to be smooth.

Hey!

Ha!

Got him!

- Sim, have the crew meet me

at the other side of the bridge.

I'm going in.

Come on.

Wait here.

Oh, no!

Come on!

Hey!

Here they come!

Let's get ready to move.

Uh-oh.

looks like they've got company.

Good for you, Henry!

All right crew, let's get going.

Looks like Henry's not finished yet.

What?

What's he doing?

Where's he going?

He's going back for his hat.

Yeah!

Sir!

Are you okay, sir?

Did I hit you, sir?

- Well I sure didn't hit myself!

What's going on out here?

- You've got to get a handle on your day-dreaming, Henry.

I know, sir.

There probably isn't much chance

of me being a guide, huh, sir.

- Report of a prisoner coming in, sir.

There's plenty of work

to be done around here, Henry.

- I can't believe you hit the boss!

He needs help.

- Henry's gonna be the death of me.

- I don't think he meant to hit you, sir.

It still hurts just the same.

Well, back on business.

I'm pretty worried we're not going to be able to keep up.

There are so many prisoners escaping.

We don't have the man-power to help them all.

It's these new laws.

They're packing out the prisons.

More prisoners means more runners escaping,

which means more guides needed from us.

So what do we know about this new guy?

He's a she, sir.

She appears to be very spirited.

From what the look-outs say,

the wardens had quite a time getting her

from the courthouse to the prison.

What prison was she headed to?

Ravenshead.

No!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Hey.

Don't!

Wait!

Come back!

- Here, you'd better put these on.

Hey!

I need you to calm down and follow me.

Listen!

It's for your own good.

Come on.

It's probably been a rough day,

but you can't throw rocks at the guards.

They don't like that stuff around here.

Look.

I'm on your side, but this isn't just about you.

You can get us all in trouble.

Stay away from the walls!

Here, get under this bag!

We'll be fine.

This happens most every day.

Thanks.

Sorry for losing it out there.

It's just been a really rough day.

I'm Sam.

Clyde.

Hang in there.

It'll get better.

Hey.

Thanks again.

You're welcome.

Remember, no throwing rocks at the guards.

Hey, are you coming?

Runner from Ravenscar.

We can send

Charles.

That'd be fine.

He's our last guide, you know.

I don't expect any of the others will be back

for at least three or four hours.

Any prisoner that escapes in that time will be on their own.

- We've somehow made it through these tight spots

in the past.

Let's hope our luck holds out again.

- These tight spots are becoming more

and more frequent, sir.

It's just a matter of time before we can't send help.

Next!

Get out of there, Rat!

One biscuit only!

You got that?

Next!

- You gonna throw rocks?

- She's past that now, so give her a break.

Okay, Clyde.

So what does he do?

I mean, is he like a head prisoner or something?

Kind of.

He helps new prisoners settle in, keeps us in line.

But mostly he keeps us going.

- Yea, without him down here

it'd be pretty bleak.

- Seems like he keeps a pretty positive attitude.

- Probably because he can

escape whenever he wants.

He can escape!

Shhh!

He can escape?

Most of us can.

But it's not about getting out; It's about staying out.

Clyde's the only one that can stay out for very long.

Oh, no.

Don't get your hopes up, kid.

Earthquake!

Phew.

Hey, kid.

You can come out now.

Hey, kid?

Runner from Ravenshead.

Any of the guides back yet?

We'll have to send headquarter personnel.

Hi, Henry.

Hi, sir.

Come in!

Hi, Ike.

Hi.

- Got a question for you, Walter.

Just a minute.

Best cover your eyeballs.

Aw, man!

Oh, no.
