a block later the cadillac heads topside again. eddie takes a gamble and goes straight ahead.
the cadillac roars out of control, its dead driver's foot pressing the accelerator to the floor. scalese, in the front seat, tries to grab the wheel.

the fire engines and police cars are arriving from every direction.
eddie's car is totally ablaze. he walks past the streaming hoses and slips into a parked blue and white, it's mars lights still flashing. he roars off.
