A clean escape
       Butch had been blundering with the blueprints of the factory looking for an exit when an explosion in the bleaching room blasted him out of the main hall, through a window and into a patch of rose blossoms. As he lay there bleeding only slightly he realized that he had been blessed by the blast; in the blink of an eye he had been thrown from the scene of the crime that he had committed. He was also unburned by the hot biodegradable bleach that had covered his body. Bless you St. Peter, he thought.
      He quickly moved to blend into the vegetation even more. Policemen had arrived and the vegetation blocked them from seeing Butch. Thank God the roses were in bloom. Without the blooming flowers 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 longer bitter at his employers. There would be no way they could blame him 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 a bilateral decision with his wife to steal those documents, but Butch realized that what was once a bleak future was now, because of a bizarre accident, 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
    布奇正拿着工厂的蓝图，四处瞎闯寻找出口，这时漂白室的爆炸把他炸出大厅，从一扇窗户落到了一片玫瑰花中。他躺在那儿，只流了少量的血，他意识到他其实是托了这次爆炸的福。他刚作了案，可眨眼之间自己就被扔出了作案现场。由于身上裹了一层热的能进行生物降解的漂白粉，他连烧伤都没有。祝福你圣彼得，他在心里说道。
    他迅速移动身子以便和植物更好地融为一体。警察已经赶到现场，由于植物的遮挡，他们没有看见布奇。感谢上帝，这些玫瑰正在盛开。如果没有这些繁盛的花朵，布奇肯定被发现了。警察面无表情地朝他这个方向看的时候，他们甚至都没有犹豫一下。
    布奇瞪着眼睛，还在为自己的幸运发呆。他不再怨恨他的雇主了。他们无法把爆炸的责任推到他身上，这又不是他的错。爆炸引起的火灾肯定会毁灭他从会计室窃取有价证券的所有证据。去偷这些文件并不是布奇与妻子双方共同的决定，但是布奇知道，由于一场稀奇古怪的事故，原本渺茫的前途对布奇来说就像一张自由证明。他离开时不仅发了大财，而且不受任何怀疑，甚至不用再为那个差点儿毁了他的生活和婚姻的老板卖命了。
    或许他甚至都不准备告诉妻子他已经成功…
