Bang! Bang! Bang!
More gunfire erupted, sharper and more frantic.
The car jerked violently as a powerful vibration rocked its frame.
Shit! No way! My tire's been shot out. Damn it!
The steering wheel grew heavier, the car started fishtailing on the slick forest floor.
A wave of frustration threatened to overwhelm him, but he forced it down. There was no time to despair. He had to keep moving. Keep pushing forward.
City lights began to flicker on the horizon, tiny points of hope in the darkness.

This is it… my chance!
But just as that hope sparked inside him, a blinding light exploded from the side.

A third police car burst from the thick underbrush, cutting across his path in a perfect ambush.
C let out a disbelieving laugh, a raw, hollow sound. "Fuck! you've got to be kidding me! This freaking romance world is getting on my nerves!
