113. CONTINUED      113.

They stop -- David watches the Men work and the Guards covering them from distances of about three hundred feet in a half moon formation, spread out. David decides and moves to the fence to question the Men. When he gets to the edge of the road next to the fence, one of the Guards spots him and starts moving over --

DAVID LEE
Mister...?

CONVICT
Boy, where did you come from?

DAVID LEE
I wanta find out 'bout my daddy. Is he here?

CONVICT
Can't you see that guard comin' -- git!

GUARD
Whatcha doin' here, boy, move!

David hurriedly gets back across the road with Sounder and watches the Guard as he moves the men back. David looks on in frustration, trying to figure out what his next move will be. The Guard moves away from the men and walks up to another Guard to engage him in a conversation -- while the two Guards are rapping with each other, David decides to make a desperate try of it --

DAVID LEE
Okay, Sounder, let's go!

David Lee and Sounder dash across the road, and slip under the fence into the farm area --

David Lee and Sounder turn on all the speed they can muster, heading directly for the group of Convicts -- They get there --

DAVID LEE

CONVICT
There is nobody name Morgan! Now get away from here before you git us in trouble!
