harcourt and kipling in the first police unit come thundering down the street zig-zagging through traffic. the slug-mobile is three-quarters of a block behind them.
it looks like a backwards chase, the slug-mobile chasing the howling police car through traffic.
the traffic ahead of the police car peels off in response to the approaching lights and siren. kipling dodges around the stopped traffic easily.
sykes peels around the merging traffic, cuts across the intersection, and continues the chase. on the wrong side of the road, head-on into traffic.
sykes locks up the brakes. kipling veers around a couple of cars and speeds away.
