This story started off amusing and funny, but throughout changed quickly and brusque. It started off with a family wanting to go on a family vacation in
Florida. The family consisted of a dad, named Bailey, and old grandma who was very selfish and just wanted to do what she wanted to do, a mom, a baby, and two kids; one a stocky boy named John Wesley, and a little girl named June Star. Both the kids mostly got what they wanted and both really didn’t like the grandma. Before they go on their trip the grandma is worried about this killer that escaped from jail named The Misfit and doesn’t want to run into him.

 ”Here is that fellow that calls himself The Misfit is aloose from the Federal Pen and headed toward Florida…I wouldn’t take my children in any direction with a criminal like that aloose in it.”

 The trip starts going on they stop and get a bite to eat at this place called Red Sammy’s in
Georgia. After they eat they all head out again and the grandma tells a story of this old house with a secret panel in it and the secret panel has money hidden in it. She says she remember exactly what turn it is and where it was. The little boy and the girl go crazy and want to go to the house really bad, so the dad turns around and the grandma points them down an old dirt road behind them.

 ”We’ve never have seen a house with a secret panel!” June Star shrieked. “Let’s go to the house with the secret panel! Hey Pop, can’t we go see the house with the secret panel!”

They turn around and go down this old dirt road looking for this old house with a secret panel in it. As they are traveling down the road the grandma remembers the house isn’t actually in Georgia but in
Tennessee. She didn’t say anything and got really nervous and accidentally let the cat of her cage. The cat jumped on the dad and the car started to flip. The kids pointed out the obvious several times by saying,

“We’ve had an ACCIDENT!”

As they all got out of the car they all noticed everyone was ok. The kids were disappointed when they saw their grandma come out of the car alive. Then they noticed a car coming by and waved them down to help them out. As they all started to talk for a while the grandma noticed that this man was The Misfit.

 The grandmother shrieked. She scrambled to her feet and stood staring. “You’re The Misfit!” she said. “I recognized you at once!”

The Misfit asked Bailey and John to step away into the woods with these two other people that where with The Misfit. After a while of the grandma talking with The Misfit trying to reason with him two shots rang from the woods. The two men shortly returned and asked the mom, June, and the baby to go join the Bailey and John. As those three went off with the two men, and shortly later three more shots rang off from the woods. The grandma did everything she could to try and negotiate with The Misfit but when she touched him on the shoulder he shot her three times in the chest.
