A clean escape
Butch had beenblunderingwith theblueprintsof the factory looking for an exit when an explosion in thebleachingroomblastedhim out of the main hall, through a window and into a patch of roseblossoms. As he lay therebleedingonly slightly he realized that he had been blessed by the blast; in theblinkof an eye he had been thrown from the scene of the crime that he had committed. He was also unburned by the hotbiodegradable bleachthat had covered his body. Bless you St. Peter, he thought.
He quickly moved toblendinto the vegetation even more. Policemen had arrived and the vegetationblockedthem from seeing Butch. Thank God the roses were inbloom. Without thebloomingflowers he would surely have been seen. They didn' t even hesitate as they looked in his direction with blank expressions.
Butch stared, still amazed at his luck. He was no longerbitterat his employers. There would be no way they couldblamehim for the explosion, it wasn't his fault. And the fire it had started was sure to destroy all evidence of his stealing valuable stock from the accountants' office. It had not been abilateraldecision with his wife to steal those documents, but Butch realized that what was once ableakfuture was now, because of abizarreaccident, like a bill of freedom for Butch He would be able to walk away rich, innocent of any suspicion and no longer bound to work with an employer that had almost ruined his life and marriage.
Maybe he wouldn't even tell his wife that he had succeeded....

一逃了之
布奇正拿著工廠的藍圖，四處瞎闖尋找出口，這時漂白室的爆炸把他炸出大廳，從一扇窗戶落到了一片玫瑰花中。他躺在那兒，只流了少量的血，他意識到他其實是托了這次爆炸的福。他剛作了案，可眨眼之間自己就被扔出了作案現場。由于身上裹了一層熱的能進行生物降解的漂白粉，他連燒傷都沒有。祝福你圣彼得，他在心里說道。
他迅速移動身子以便和植物更好地融為一體。警察已經趕到現場，由于植物的遮擋，他們沒有看見布奇。感謝上帝，這些玫瑰正在盛開。如果沒有這些繁盛的花朵，布奇肯定被發現了。警察面無表情地朝他這個方向看的時候，他們甚至都沒有猶豫一下。
布奇瞪著眼睛，還在為自己的幸運發呆。他不再怨恨他的雇主了。他們無法把爆炸的責任推到他身上，這又不是他的錯。爆炸引起的火災肯定會毀滅他從會計室竊取有價證券的所有證據。去偷這些文件并不是布奇與妻子雙方共同的決定，但是布奇知道，由于一場稀奇古怪的事故，原本渺茫的前途對布奇來說就像一張自由證明。他離開時不僅發了大財，而且不受任何懷疑，甚至不用再為那個差點兒毀了他的生活和婚姻的老板賣命了。
或許他甚至都不準備告訴妻子他已經成功…
