When they drove, they listened to the local radio giving a news announcement:The New York police have issued a warning after a man escaped from Shangdi Mental Hospital earli
er this morning .The man ,John, is a murderer who killed six people.

Andy felt frightened, “A crazy killer is out somewhere.” “Don’t worry about it ,” said her husband. “We’re nearly there now. Anyway, we have more important things to worry about. This car is losing power for the engine.” As he spoke, the car began to slow down. Finally the engine died completely. “Now we’ll have to walk in the rain.” “But that’ll take us an hour at least,” said Andy, “And I have my high-heeled shoes and my nice clothes on, which will be ruined!” “Well, you’ll have to wait while I run to the nearest house and call the Harrisons.

But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead! Of course he isn’t really dead. With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why?because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen.
