He immediately eats dirt, which lets her cut the distance between them from yards to inches. It's only dumb luck that saves him. He might feel her swipe at the poncho as he hoofs it, fingers failing to claim an iron grasp.
Not that she minds. It's all fun and games! What's the point if the round's over before the starter bell stops ringing?]
That's more like it! [She's barely winded, cackling with delight. Keeping pace with too much ease, always just one hair out of reach.] Where's the exit, huh? Where where where? Can you make it in time?
[Annoyance is a basic tactic, but an effective one. Flustered folks rarely made wise decisions. There's a three way split ahead: the guy can either keep going straight, hike left, or swing right. If she remembers correctly, one of them is a short cut to the end. She'd staked out the lay of the land pretty thoroughly once she made it this far, and then backtracked to spook some goofs.
It would be really funny if he did make it out. She'll give him a gold star, A+. ]
