Louie shoves Willis from the ‘copter mid-desert, yelling, “Nobody likes a thief!”
Willis follows Sol across the sky. As cool evening air washes over his sunburned body, he kneels and says a prayer for salvation, then falls into dreamless sleep.
As Sol rises, Willis sets out again, climbing a large sunny dune. As he reaches its crest he sees a small square building in the distance.
Unconcerned about conserving energy now, he begins power-walking and reaches it in an hour.
Inside, he finds a trap door leading to a cool cellar that is well-stocked with dried meats, fruits and wine.

Willis hasn’t learned his lesson has he? Or maybe this is his dying hallucination.

Neil, what lesson is that? Not to steal? It could be just that. I like how your mind works.
