IT'S 6:30 ON A WARM SUMMER EVENING.
A MAN IN A STRANGE COSTUME APPROACHES THEM AND TELLS THEM HE HAS ESCAPED FROM PRISON AND WANTS THEIR CAR KEYS AND MONEY WHICH THEY READILY HAND OVER BUT THEY WILL SOON LEARN THE AWFUL TRUTH FOR HE NEVER DOES TAKE EITHER THE KEYS OR THE MONEY.
SEVERELY INJURED BUT SURVIVED TO GIVE A DESCRIPTION OF ZODIAC
ZODIAC USED, AS USUAL, A GUN TO SUBDUE AND CONTROL HIS VICTIMS AND HAD CECELIA TIE UP BRYAN ALTHOUGH HE WAS RE-TIED BY ZODIAC.
