porcelain sinks and she died. The other women cried and Mallory called
and Mickey came to the restroom. After he has seen what happened he
pulled out his gun and shot the women dead. In the cafeteria they both
killed the other guests and only one survived. This event was later
called the "Kankakee Massacre".
After this Mallory and Mickey had to flew. The where hunted by police
and specially by Detective Jack Scagnetti. On their escape from police

police officer, killed Jack Scagnetti and took Wayne Gale and his
cameraman as a hostage. The camera-man had to film the rescue of
Mallory. The people could see it live on TV. After Mickey and Mallory
killed some police officer and escaped with Wayne and the camera-man in
a transporter. After some days Mickey killed Wayne and the camera-man
filmed it.
Mickey and Mallory Knox are currently still at large, although the FBI

Ideas: The Author wants to show us how people are sensationalism about
the
gruel in the world.
Opinions: I like the book because it is interesting to read about the
life of
two persons who had to escape the police.
