Just as you are untying the victim, you are discovered. You and the victim
run to the plane, but just as you are getting ready to take off, having
narrowly escaped your pursuers, you realize that with your additional
passenger, you may be as much as 50 or 100 pounds overweight.


As I was reading this I was enjoying a nice mental image of "rescuing
