How does Bud feel about ''being on the lam''?

Bud finds "being on the lam" a lot of fun for a moment..... then he becomes a nervous wreck.

BEING ON THE LAM was a whole lot of fun ... for about five minutes. Every time my heart beat I could feel the blood pushing hot and hard on the inside of my sting spots and the bite on my hand. But I couldn't let that slow me down, I had to get out of this neighborhood as quick as I could.
